Not a problem! Always eager to help someone who wants to contribute to the community!
It is frustrating to see the copy/paste posts generate money, but by and large they don't garner returning followers (people will upvote a funny picture once, but they don't seem keen on following someone who just posts random images off the net!).

Be sure to check out Steemit.chat as well! You can check out channels like #SteemSTEM and #science and connect with others through chat or even advertise your posts there! And steemit chat generally seems to be comprised more of the quality posts (most people who do shallow posts are just "copy, paste, and go" so they don't take the time to advertise!). And be sure to check out @randowhale; for a small amount of steem or sbd (generally 0.5-1 Steem/sbd) randowhale will upvote your post!
