I was reading a post earlier by 
If you followed me for any reasonable time you would know the people that I read every post. And Tarazkp is one of them . I spend hours a day on Steemit. Way more than the average person. Most people cannot afford to spend that amount of time on Steemit. I am in a position that allows it.
I have stated that the learning curve is high here, and I started out at a level way lower than a ten year old. In this day and age it seems impossible that someone would have zero online / internet knowledge. I have kept a low profile , off the grid and if you googled my real name it would come up blank. My point is that everything is what you put into it. If you want to learn something you not only have to spend the time but pay attention to what is available or presented to you. We all start out at different skill levels.
I read every one of his post as if it was a textbook. I also read all the comments. The comments is what I like to bring forth. Most of my time here is spent reading. Here is one of my comments about commenting.
Comments are like a gold mine if you just take the time to read them . People seem to look at the post get there comment and vote in and run. There is value not only in the post but the comments.
I think I am saying the same thing you just said but getting it settled in my mind :)
The last sentence is true LOL. I basically just repeated his reply in my own words. But, What was the value that I got out of my comment?
When you start out here on Steemit for the majority of us our knowledge bases is nearly nothing. We have to struggle and learn. All the information is there. You do have to seek it out and apply it to your abilities. There is no way to avoid the struggle part. Or the low reward part. Yet some of us try with all our effort to do so. Seems like wasted effort. What does miss directed effort get you, besides missed opportunity.
What is worth doing is not only worth doing well, it is worth doing for no reward.

Commenting on post is probably the most important thing you can do. It also gives you some insight on the person that you are commenting to. If you get no response to a good comments overtime you should get the impression of being blown off or the opinion of the individual is that you have no value to them. On the same token if you look at one of their post that are a couple days old and see a pattern of no responses Move on to someone that has a little more appreciation for you.
This is all within reason and you should be reasonable in your decision to support their product. Did I just say product? Every post is a product. If it wasn't copyright law would not apply but it does. Everyone is trying to sell something or buy something when you break this down to the lowest level. Sure some of us has developed personnel relationships and that does change the dynamic a little. There is some who will sell you information about Steemit for $180 . Information that is free and available. People are falling all over themselves over paying for information that is available for free.
It did not cost you a dime to join this platform. and even in some cases free SP is given to you to start. You are given the ability to vote free, at no cost to you. It may not be a lot but it's something. Where else can you start a business with no up front investment. Is that not what this is. You have a product, people who will buy your product . All the software you need to run your business. People who will guide you and assist you in your business expecting nothing in return.
What is your business worth to you?
time, money, future retirement maybe a better life.
