We clearly think alike! Yeah I was exactly the same when I first started back in November/December of last year, very little effort put into anything and really just focusing on getting my hands on some Steem. That changed after interacting with a few different established users on this platform, and I definitely think it's up to us to do the same to the new people we come into contact with.

I love your idea of taking a little bit of time each day just to engage with these newer Steemit users and show them different ways of going about doing things. I'm gonna think on it more, but I definitely would like to see a big initiative started with that kind of mentality.
