With the new influx of users and influence switching hands I've seen quite a few witnesses and authors promote themselves lately and rightfully so. I can't remember last time I did a milestone post or anything similar.
This will be sort of my self-promotion post, I'll try not to make it too boring.
Some history.
I signed up to Steemit on the 24th of May 2016 with user ID: 9,562, exactly 2 months after @steem was created and on the same day as my Reddit Cakeday! Good thing I didn't spend most time on Reddit that day cashing in karma for my cakeday but stumbled upon Steem instead!
Having been a "curator" and content creator + commenter on Reddit for so long but at the same time involved in blockchain, Steem was like a dream come true and felt like something I've been waiting in forever - I'm sure many others feel the same way!
When Streemian came online I was one of the first to set up a curation trail and have been running it ever since by only voting manually. Thanks to all accounts and users that have followed my votes since then and helped distribute Steem Power to so many. Currently at ~42,000 manual upvotes.
Before delegation came around I had managed to earn ~550 SP in curation rewards for over 6 months of manual voting which at the time were worth about 60$. Now I'm at 24k SP in curation rewards and have only powered down 3-4k SP in 20 moons!
I've been a firm believer of the platform and currency and knew ever since I joined that it will become really big, even when prices were going under 10 cents I spent a lot of time marketing the platform in my own little ways and encourage users to stay active when most others were leaving. Unfortunately this took a lot of time out of my day, so much so that I didn't find the time to post actively and earn that cheap SP at the time, but I always found the time to curate either on my PC or my Phone!
I've been involved with a lot of projects in and out of the platform and spend most of my waking hours on it. If I'm not posting or curating I can be found on steemit.chat, discord and slack. I try my best to give everyone some time and a chance to curate them, even if this often leads to a lot of spam from users - I know what it felt like when you first started out on Steemit.
One of the creations I'm mostly proud of is @ocd. All team members share the want to help out newcomers and spread distribution evenly among them and help retention, for no initial cost to the authors. ;)
Currently I'm planning a few projects for Steem on the sideline and waiting for SMT's to be launched and I'm hoping the community will find them as exciting as I currently do.
Why should you vote on my posts or place me on an autovoter
I spend a lot of my time on Steem daily, even if my posts may not be top-notch quality I appreciate the votes and I'm sure many reward me for all the time I spend outside of the platform for the currency. Such as having to stay active on obsolete sites like Reddit to help out newcomers stumbling on Steem and stay up to date by reading through the several discord servers, steemit.chat channels and projects coming to life on the platform.
I try my best no to vote-trade. Although sometimes I do vote on "the usuals" and people that support me, I focus most of my daily voting power on @ocd nominations. Its a bit disappointing the amount of messages I get from rather influential users asking to vote me for witness (I don't have a witness account) or vote on my posts if I'm willing to do the same and I tell them that I can't cause its going to undervalued posts of newcomers often leading to them not supporting me back.
I self-vote pretty often after the 30 minute mark, giving manual and autovoters a chance to increase their curation rewards. I am fine with not always hitting the "hot list" and making 75% in post rewards instead of higher and I hope the time will come when more users decide to do this instead of instantly self-voting and discouraging users from earning curation rewards.
I've never really used vote-buying bots except @randowhale a few times, but since its becoming a more normal thing lately I might consider doing it on posts that are a few days old to increase the curation rewards of my followers.
I also sacrifice a lot of my potential curation rewards by encouraging manual curators to vote on the @ocd compilation posts and their nominations since I vote on them often a day later thus giving you time to place your votes before mine and knowing they are going to undervalued and vetted newcomers.
You can rest assured that I'll be around the platform and working towards it for a long time in the future and that the SP I gather will be used well. Currently I have 95% of my own SP delegated further and I plan on keeping that up by growing the curation team of @ocd.
To not make this too long I think I'll stop here and want to thank you for reading and considering my self-promotion. :)
It would be really awesome if you could comment in this post if you've had any past run ins with me on the platform or what your oldest memory is for some nostalgic effect. Thank you to everyone, old and young accounts that are here often and making the platform as great as it is!
As some of you know I don't usually add "follow me" or "upvote me" at the end of posts or in the footer, but if you could resteem this post it would be highly appreciated. :)
You have come a long way honestly and the mentality you have I wish others were like you too . At least you can be a leading example for us all

I decided to re-write my comment.
In addition to having a birds-eye view of what's going on in crypto - encouraging everyone to look past volatility or prolonged price slumps, your freely shared knowledge of the latest alts is invaluable. I've been "at war" in my career trying to get things on track, and really haven't done any serious trading or investing, but once things simmer down, I've really got to pay heed to your alt suggestions.
With all the bad things banks and governments do to erode wealth and crush the middle class, I see crypto as a way of coming out on top or at least escaping the worst of their traps. Your angle has been to help point the way to financial freedom. What will that do? Create solid Steem users - it's hard to post and make a few bucks when one's over-concerned about the near future or next paycheck.
I think you can help a lot of people break that cycle of "just getting by."
I appreciate your accessibility and down to earth style.
Hopefully I can go spam-hunting on your posts some day, catch some real winners and do another rant. But for now, I'm drowning in corporate type work, trying to keep up. Let's hope Steem can go sky high and the current minnows/dolphins can go full-time here!

You have given me so much motivation in a time where was going to quit steemit thank you very much. I can say that you are a big plus for this community you are a very cool dude who helps a lot of people in this community not just by upvoting but with your OCD project and the whole team behind it you help people to get more attention on there posts from the community.
What I very much appreciate is that you upvote a lot of comments and that you reply to these comments I don't see that from most of the whales.
After some nice chats with you on steem chat or on twitch I can say you are a damn cool dude and you deserve this self-promotion and all the great comments.
I am also very glad to have you as one of my followers :)))
Thanks for all you do and keep steemin.
LOVE&LIGHT for you and family

The thing that surprised me was that you are not a witness. I tried to vote on you a couple of days back as I only have 3 witnesses I have voted on, and I thought you would be worthy of it. (I am not really into the witness research part, so I only vote on the people that I have personally seen do good things).
I found out about you through OCD, after being featured in it and following it, your name popped up a couple of times and it got me curious, because OCD and Curie are the two bigger great things that help a newbie not get discouraged. I think it is amazing what you have created just for the simple reason that you give people hope in a steemit kind of way!

Also you gave me a helping hand with the SWG guild a month back so that is from where I know you. Even gave you a DM on the chat a day or two ago asking if its ok to show one or two of your posts as screenshots.

A while after that you posted about @OCD, but I had no idea what that meant at that time, but I enjoyed your Hitler Parody so much.
I was also so happy when I got in @OCD and had the chance to do something positive on the platform.

Very inspirational and motivational, especially for the new users to be heading in the right direction rather than getting disappointed thus leaving the Platform, instead.
OCD is such a remarkable service and luckily I, myself have been rewarded by them quite frequently. So grateful indeed, and we wish you keep it up.
Look forward to more from you and suggest addition of your curation tail on steemauto, because its so easy to join the Curation tail, there. You'll have more people following and supporting the OCD.

Hi there @acidyo! I've read the entire article and I commend you for the initiative to support new steemians and finding ways to make them stay, and even those who stumbled into steemit that don't know what to do or have no idea what they're doing, we haven't crossed paths since I came in(well this is only my 18th day), but I followed you a few days back I think, when I read you post about flagging, and I couldn't agree less on the points you shared on that post. I hope you keep fighting the good fight and keep on supporting the community in your own little ways! Kudos!

I am only on here since Aug of this year so I passed my 90 day mark. I, too, believe in this platform and am doing all I can for this platform. STEEM is going to be huge.
It is wonderful to see one who is on here from the early days who cares about spreading the wealth around and helping others. There are a few who I encountered who are in that boat. Sadly, there are also many who do not take the time to think about others. I came across one tonight with 42K in SP who upvotes his posts and his comments...to the tune of $3 apiece...yet he did not give a single upvote to anyone who commented on his posts.
I guess there are all kinds...personally I think your method is what will make this blockchain keep growing.
If I can help out on any of your projects just let me know. I can tout and promote...not so good on the coding/development side.

I first came across your name through one of your curators who sang high praises of what you're doing on OCD. Then I found that you run a SPFL, damn! Wish I'd found out earlier. As a big whale, you're very human, taking time to respond to and help others partucularly minnows. That's important on this platform as it helps to breakdown the minnow / whale divide.

I have been on Steemit for about 7 months now. I have done fairly well here and I enjoy it. I have had some good payouts on some posts and not so good on some, but that is the way it goes. Your story is an inspiration to me. I have seen many come and go on this platform. Have a great time and Steem on!

You are definitely one of my favorite posters. I remember reaching out to you when I had an issue on the chat and you were able to help me out. You're definitely a good guy and I always value your support.

Thanks for posting this @acidyo! I always automatically upvote my own posts (I keep the box ticked), and didn't know it was not a good idea to do that, so thanks for letting me know!

OK, so this is kind of funny. Maybe you'll laugh..... I'm not following you! I've followed your work for a long time, applied and was accepted to OCD as a curator, and I get notifications when you post. But I'm not actually following you on Steemit. (nervous laughter) fixing that now..... ! You're an inspiration, and I really mean that.

My first run-in with you was when you were doing a twitch curation video- Someone has posted about it in a discord chat and it was pretty exciting to see my post on someone else's screen!

An opportunity to speak positively about @acidyo?! Don't mind if I do.
I met @acidyo pretty early on after joining steemit, when I was sill brazenly reaching out to people in a way that bordered on jackassery.
But @acidyo responded so positively and with such openmindedness to my fledgling introduction and for months, especially before steemstem and the science community received curie support, acidyo was my primary source of support on this platform. He was so generous with his votes, as well as his time on steemit.chat, all while maintaining the most outrageously comprehensive manual curation regimen I've yet encountered.
If steemit is an experiment in community building, @acidyo is one of the users who most embodies that ideal. He always acts with the well being of other users in mind, and as someone who was sustained by that generosity of spirit, I'm immensely greatful.

Only just discovered you, so it is too late to resteem, as the button is gone - I wish it would not do that!
I loved what you said and thought of following, but I see you have over ten thousand, so there does not seem to be much point to it (won't make much of a difference to you). Still I'll watch out for the odd post.
I hope you continue to help the newbies - especially the talented ones. I do my best to help and encourage them, but not so much with the value of upvotes, just the presence of one who reads and comments with sometimes useful advice.
I enjoy learning of ways to help from people like you. Thanks.

Did not know you done so much on steemit because this is the first time hearing from you. Post was on "trending" and I stumbled here. I do not use reddit or discord. I remember signing up for steem.chat way back a few months ago but haven't logged in since. So many platforms to be on yet you still able to do so much. Kudos to you.
BTW my upvote lowered your total payout by a cent. Didn't mean to do that. Guess I need to stop upvoting for the day lol.

A real good whale I see! Actually I noticed that upvoting the nominations would help people get curation rewards :P but still I keep my votes to those nominations I really like bc I was under 500SP u.u now I can split my vote and it feels really well! I will retake that exercise :)
I think @ocd is a great project! I hope it keeps going for years and years!:)

I was just nominated for ocd a few days ago and it completely made my day! I remember waking up to my post jumping up $10 because you upvoted it, which inspired me to keep improving my vlogging skills! I love what your doing and I would love to give back to my fellow minnows if you have any more room on the ocd team! Congrats on all you have accomplished and thanks for the support!

Resteemjng is the least i can do as i lile manual curators, doing all curations manually myself, though buyong some votes from bots as it is extremely hard to beat through the noise for guys that have joined steemit a bit later. Am am also a founder of photography community that we have put on steem blockchain and our members are now steemit members too. So we are all expanding and growing in numbers and i am sure another year is going to be as exciting as this one was for you. Also i have got a few manual upvotes from you and since you are reading 95% of posts i am glad you liked it. Even though mostly i am sharing my photography work so there is not much to read. But one picture sometimes is worth a thousand words. So thank you for your support. Cheers!

Thanks, for the helpful information, @acidyo. Even though I've published 7 books, to date, and have thousands of followers on other platforms, I'm new on Steemit (less than 2 weeks) and grateful for all the tips I can get. I hope you might enjoy some of my posts and would be delighted if @ocd might consider my content. Many thanks; I wish you continued success, Yahia

I'm not sure if you remember but I won your first #commentoftheday contest when I first joined steemit and was really glad of that initial bit of exposure, so thanks for that. :)
I really like your honesty in the post mate. I haven't been an avid follower of your work but I am definitely familiar with it and appreciate your efforts to make the platform a fairer and more positive place to enjoy. :)
