Joining on July 4th, I saw this community rewarding every introduction post with a decent amount of money. I fell in love with the idea of being rewarded for introducing yourself and posting blogs. I held off on posting original content and introducing myself because I didn't really know what this community was about, but recently I have built up the courage to introduce myself on Steemit. I wanted to introduce myself to the community before the mainstream came in and diluted the posts. Now you might think I'm being greedy, but I'm not, I am rather disappointed, but my Introduction post has only made $1 so far. I am not complaining about the payout but I am regretting not posting my introduction blog on here before the mainstream caught onto Steemit. That is, because I feel like I missed the opportunity to introduce myself to the community that I was following before everything blew up. I feel like the community has not seen who I am and does not care anymore. Right now I feel left out, but I know that It's my fault for not acting sooner.
Now I just want this site to flourish and grow into a wonderful community that supports one another through curating original and thoughtful content. I wish nothing but the best for Steemit and it's future.
I hope everyone that reads this understands how important this community is to the original members of Steemit.
