I'm very new to Steemit, but after my first week or two I was really quite disappointed with what I was seeing, everyone referring to Steemit as a community but I saw no evidence at all that it had any sort of community ideals.

There are many, you will find with the passage of time and don't be disappointed. Whales you see today were minnows in the past, so they worked hard to get to the point where they are today.

Thank you for your comment :)
