What is the Deadpost Intitiative?

The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.

Last week

This week we had a fair amount of self-empowering posts. We also had a few crypto related posts. Most of the winners this week are not first time winners. It's nice to have first time winners but also nice to see people winning substantial rewards through the project. I try to judge based on the comments they get.

Also, I apologize for not answering comments on this contest sometimes, creating this post usually takes upwards of two hours because I have to read every post and review comments and then assess which post seems to have inspired or impressed its readers the most. I want you all to know that your words of support are appreciated!

Last Week's Winners

@artisticscreech - $4 Steem prize

@artisticscreech never disappoints. This post is about embracing yourself as you are, something very few of us do, something not very much encouraged by our culture. Must read!

@acesontop - $3 Steem prize

Here's something we see a lot of at steemit but something which rarely graces the Deadpost Initiative, a post about steemit. @acesontop shares some great advice about how to approach the platform in the form of misconceptions he had about the platform.
