Thank you for this article!

As the smallest of minnows, I find myself struggling to make sense of everything that goes on with Steemit. However, I don't upvote anything I didn't read first, and most times I will add a comment that is not just fluff.

It seems to me, the point is to build a community of people who want to read each others work. If it is all about who can get the next $1000 article, then it's really a waste!

I appreciate the efforts of manual curation. I will certainly be looking out for whalepower to see how I can get involved.

Thanks!!
