Ok everyone, so finally I can say for sure that I’m not in bandwidth hell anymore!
It’s been almost 1 week that I haven’t run out bandwidth! I can finally answer back everyone straight away, I can finally post at whatever time I want. Before I had to wait usually for the window between 11 pm and 14 am, the time when I think most Americans weren’t online, now I don’t need to do it anymore, even when steemit is full of people I can post and comment.

My feelings about bandwidth:

Ok, so it’s been 28 days since I joined steemit, a little more than half of those days I had bandwidth problems, but that never stopped me, I wrote all the comments I wanted and posted them when I had bandwidth, I created good content and got out of bandwidth hell fast, I worked my arse off on steemit!

I’ve seen people complaining that they don’t have Bandwidth and that this is a failed platform because of it, well this is a free platform you know, nothing free comes without bad things, would you go to your neighbor’s house to eat for free and complain the food had no salt? Or would you grab the salt from the table and put a little on your food? In this analogy your neighbors are steemit, salt is SteemPower and the food is your account.
And is bandwidth such a bad thing? It’s not 100% a bad thing, it prevents users from just spamming away comments, it prevents spammers from creating more and more accounts, the early grind is the most troublesome part in my opinion, when you get to about 50SP (which shouldn’t take you that long, probably 1-2months writing comments, upvoting and maybe some content here and there) you stop having bandwidth problems!

Now for other solutions, you can try, and that I thought of trying but ended up not doing it, leasing SP from Hive account@minnowbooster, why didn’t I do it? Because leasing some SP from Hive account@minnowbooster would be a temporary fix, I preferred powering up the 4 STEEM I bought and work on a permanent solution. I might lease some in the summer before that would just be a waste since I can't be online as much.

Some of you will say: “You were just lucky! You got all that SP because you were lucky!” Well, thanks for sharing your opinion, I know some other people, looking at you Hive account@nathan290595, that started at the same time as me and that are out of bandwidth hell too, are they lucky too? No! they worked their butts off, they have great content, and people notice that! Also, if you go look at my comments I never once spammed! I always read the post and then commented, and I never comment something like "I liked your post, good story" I always try to be either funny or give some of my own knowledge about the post.

Most people I see complaining about bandwidth are people that want to post 1 photo and 2 lines of text and expect that to earn thousands of dollars…That’s not the right way to work this platform, neither is spamming comments like “ I love you content… great share, I follow you fallow me back”, I’m still amazed at how they write “follow” the right way once, and then right after they write ”fallow.”

But I should also say that YES!!!!, in the future, if the platform keeps increasing in population, we will need to increase the bandwidth limit, but I don’t think we are there yet, if I was able to make it in less than 1 month, why shouldn’t others also be able to do it? But this is just my opinion, of course, remember, opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one! And I would love to hear your arsehole opinion about this, do you think it’s time to increase the bandwidth?

What does this mean to me?

Well, now that I’m finally out of bandwidth hell I can finally engage more with the community!! 24/7 engaging, I will engage so much you guys will be tired of me, you will ask the GODS to stop me from engaging soo much! Just kidding... classes restarted so my steemit time will be greatly reduced

Just wanted to finish this post saying, this is my way of trying to motivate you new minnows! If I was able to get out of bandwidth hell in 1 month i'm sure you can do it too! Good luck to you all! If anyone needs any advices you can 100% ask me in the comments!
