RE: A New Initiative to help newbies
This is a great initiative: thank you for it! If I hadn't had any support when I started, I would probably have sunk like a leaden duck...
Of course I'll be right behind you; we'll complement each other well!
What made me a little puzzled was your condition: verified. That in turn excludes the newbies who don't want to undergo this procedure. Okay - I'll keep an eye on them myself ;-))
In any case, you have a knack for finding good authors with potential: don't be shy about introducing them to us!
I agree that verification should not be a condition for support but after seeing so many farming accounts I would take no risk at least they will get no official vote or support even I would.
I just read a user that's been around for a while has been branded "Farming account" only the last week. Besides, I know several such accounts that I never support myself.
Yes, that was intense... And yes, that will probably happen from time to time. Annoying.
But: there is definitely clear support for authors who are not verified in this way! I think it's really about special, unique content and comprehensible authenticity. As examples I might mention @travisfilmmaker or @panafricana-sam: both independent and not connected to any communities, but from the first minute on the steem on attention and high votes. It was probably partly my recommendation, but also the broad response to their special and unusual subject matter that ensured this attention.
I believe we are missing out on great opportunities to become a truly "special" medium if we let such unique items fail due to verification processes.
I will support anyone whom you suggest! No question asked!
Hihi! A blank cheque! Cool ;-))
