I agree @flipstar and I was about to ask you about investing in steem power just like you and my few steemit friends here. I'm not gonna mention their names or some spammers will flood their posts. But I'll probably do some sp investment too later...

For now, I'll just do some power ups on my post. I invest in bots some money like sometimes more than 10 SBD to booster, so now I only post 1x a day but it must be super good and super quality. I will put money on my post if I believe that it will really attract some attention or followers. It's a gamble maybe, it also depends on my judgment. The return will be more my SP, new followers and increasing rep. Not bad! So yeah, I learned!

Like you, in the future if I get to invest some money and acquire more sp through writing, I will not just upvote myself. It is nice to interact, it's lonely talking to ourselves out there. Besides the psychology of happiness, you become happier if you help others/make others happy. The return will be 10 fold to you.

This is the first time I've read a long comment from you lol. I will upvote this later, I'm still regenerating.

In the end, it's only gonna be just us supporting each other here. So forget about the rest, the trending page etc.., it's about us trying to give ourselves hopefully a better future here?

I have seen that people use the source for their images more often.

Not sure what you mean, but you know me, I usually use my own images but some posts like this, I'm not gonna put my photos on the beach all the time lol.

Put the image source always to be safe. There are free images that can be used according to FAQ, put the source links on the post. Sometimes I use free wallpapers too as images on my posts and put the source links. Anyway, the images are free to use.
