Just now I did something unusual. Instead of sticking to my "home" page feed, and voting for all those trusted authors and content creators I follow, I went to the shallow waters of the "new" section and upvoted/commented on some promising posts.
It struck me that I should be doing this regularly. These are the people who are going to spread the word about Steemit when they are successful. I remember the first doses of encouragement I got after working hard to hone my writing and compose quality posts. This encouragement helped to put me into "full Steem mode," and I think if the platform is to grow, the waters must also be naturally refreshed by the inlets of creativity pouring in that may be less visible.
Get out there and upvote some high quality content that no one else is seeing. In the end, it is yourself as a Steemit user you will be helping out.
Peace!
