So I have been a minnow for the last 30 days. A decent following although how do you know who is actually active!?
What's the level of success? There's a hierarchy and I have seen some minnows grow quickly, while other fade away. I love steem. It's fun, intelligent (mostly), and free (mostly).
My level of success should not be based upon others. At the same time, the feeling of insecurity seems to be based upon; what defines my success. Is it my user rating? My ability to comment and get upvotes? My amount of followers?
Time will tell. I think the most important point is to GAIN knowledge. Enjoy the photos from around the world. Get to know the community. It's like high school. It's nice to see the friend you started out with and you will grow together. Sometimes you gain the attention of a whale, but they are in a grade of their own. Sorta like the high school hotty who is way out of your league :)
I appreciate those that have followed me. I follow
many more then who follow.. because I want to grow, learn new things, and most of all CONTRIBUTE.
