"When the alms is too much, the Saint distrusts." (Brazilian popular proverb)
" There is no free lunch" (Milton Friedman)

With these two sentences I start this post that marks 1 month that I'm on this platform.
I met Steemit after several reports in blogs, forums and pages on Facebook, where people reported they were having experiences in this social network, with significant gains for their posts. I read a lot of reviews also people saying that this network is a pyramid scheme and other more destructive criticism that it's not worth it I quote here.
As I am a person who likes challenges , I decided to try . I did my registration and I read the various posts with tutorials on how to use Steemit. I learned the meaning of the concepts of "Curator", "Upvote", "Downvote", "Power Down", "Steem Power", how to put pictures in my posts and with all this information, I did a "test post" Observations of a non assiduous viewer of the Olimpics 2016
After the first post, I felt confident to be able to put into practice all my ability to write acquired over the years. My challenge is that as I am not a native english speaker , but portuguese , translators we find on the internet are not accurate and I could run the risk of having many grammatical errors that could harm the richness of my post.

CRITICAL

The figure of "whales" in the community is something very important, because they make the rules of the game be met, penalizes those who do not respect these rules and maintains the harmony in the community as a whole. Although I often do not understand or do not see clear criteria to vote or promote publications deemed to be of quality...

My criticism is with respect to a priority or exclusively exercised by a part of the community of people with a lot of influence in the crypto community that different from a "normal user" does not have much attention of the whales in winning votes for your posts and are forgotten or placed in the last places or in the "underworld" of this social network.
My suggestion is that much more important than promoting a post from a user that is already known in the community and has its influence already solidified, it is also promoting new users posts. Because they will be the positive advertising platform and will feel increasingly motivated to improve their posts and also to continue in this social network.
PRAISE

My compliments go to the fact that this platform made me stimulate certain gifts that were dormant in me, how to write, photograph and draw. I spent read more, tell me more, fix my written and oral language and be interested in philosophy, psychology and science. I went back to study photography, something I love and practicing more clicks and improve my technique.
