Yes, I see this often and throughout SteemIt from those giving advice to us newcomer's. It's a great help and the repetition is necessary. I notice quite a few comments in this thread where many are not getting the importance of comments. A comment not only helps to pull you out of the corner but gives a glimpse into your ability to write. I see quite a few channels with zero posts, but have thousands of follower's. That's why there is two main ways to earn. As an author and/or curator. 1-I am both a newbie and a minnow. Even though it says I have been a member since August 2016, I only remember requesting an account in 2017. Being technically challenged, I at first couldn't figure out how to upload my avatar image from my device, so was using another more user friendly platform until around Christmas time. My first post was around December 22, 2017. 2- There are so many things to love about SteemIt. It is a massive place, a political system, an economy, a media platform, a way to make a living and all in all, it's a complete societal social structure. It gives us an alternative to the mainstream way of doing things. A true Democracy, in which everybody has a say according to their experience. SteemIt is the next step towards creating a perfect society. 3- I have high hopes for SteemIt. First and foremost, I am here to connect and create a harmonious community. Not one where everyone agrees, but where we can work together and communicate, in spite of disagreement. I plan on starting a blogging career, instead of living my life as a wage slave. SteemIt has the ability to help me disengage from a society I have not only never quite connected with, but disagree with on so many levels. I am and will continue to use it to voice my philosophy with the hopes of connecting with those which agree, those which agree, but can see the good in my thoughts and those which completely disagree, but are open enough that we both can find the common ground in each other's ideals and work together to change the world. I am planning a quite ambitious journey and will need to build a community to make it work long term. SteemIt is one platform that gives me the ability to do this. I believe above all this, using SteemIt is a great way to learn to gather your own thought s coherently to understand yourself better and this is the key for growth.
