There are quite a number of very disturbing statements made by the commentator above. There are more than 1 way to touch your nose. Some people work hard on building on the quality of their work and then finally posting it. There are many good talents such as @edysveins and @afique and they are doing quite well without resorting to hours greeting people and building their 'relationship'. They don't spend a lot of time on steemit, but they spend a lot of time preparing their work to post on steemit and you can see it from the quality of their post. Many minnows are not lazy but they are just lost and that is when they need guidance. The people who introduce the platform to them need to show them a bit of the rope, not necessarily to spoonfed and guide them to the right community. If a community is based on talent, there won't be a situation of judging them based on their hours playing a PR pimp. Engaging is necessary but it is not a prerequisite to success. This is a level playing field, choose your game and decide how you want to play it. If that person is very happy creating good relationship all is good. If that person creates relationship through his/her work, it is also good.

To start saying this is the way to do it, coz I did it this way, is definitely myopic and downright hypocritical. It is an easy way of saying, please follow the leader in subtle whisper. To even suggest that I did it that way coz it worked for me, is akin to saying, pls see how successful I am, coz that is the way this game is played. That is just bloated ego.
