WOW! What a "surprise, surprise" for ME! :) This was totally unexpected. In fact, I was thinking my interview might end up being controversial when I submitted the answers to @stellabelle. Lol.
I was going to resteem this for her as well, but now I'm worried it might make me look self-serving and conceited. Lol! But, oh well...I'll do it anyway.
Thank you so very, VERY much for this big surprise of support. Really, I'm just pleasantly shocked and don't know what else to say.
Thanks for the donations, @stellabelle and @benjojo, and to everyone who has upvoted this post, commented, and/or resteemed.
So...here we go...resteeming this to 10,000+ followers. :)

Thank you, lady for resteeming my "miracle votes post" when I needed it. I sent some SBD as my way of saying thank you. Without your help, I would not be famous and short of paying for my hospitalization and recovery but only paying for surgery.

Oh! Thank you! Well, I'm just very glad you were able to have enough to cover everything. I know from my mother's own hospitalization from a stroke how expensive proper medical care is. It's not as expensive as people in the USA have to pay, but Phil Health is all we have for insurance, and it doesn't cover enough.
God bless you and it's been great to see you smiling in your photos! :)

By the way I didn't see this interview, but I stumbled upon you on steemwhales.com today and started my own investigation. I've seen you around in comments before, but I didn't know anything. I didn't interview you and I'm glad to see that @stellabelle did as it answers many of my burning questions.
By the end of my investigation I kind of came to the conclusion you might be a marketing genius. ;)
I could also see that your mind worked very different from mine, but not in a bad way at all.
Anyway, I respect and admire what you are doing quite a bit. I think you may be a trend setter for a totally different way to interact with the steem blockchain. Impressive.

Super interview! Actually @stellabelle, I may be one of those who know of the existence of Joan already; Joan already passed by one of my posts some week or more ago. Suddenly I was seeing the vote count flying up!
Joan, I really appreciate the way you are looking at Steemit and what you trying to do for the community. With your follow base I suppose you are the perfect marketing tool for any newbie on the platform. And we have so many of them gained last month or so, they for sure can use some support.

Lol. I did want some of my followers to know where I stand about some things, so I was really excited about the interview itself. If people could just see what Steemit is really about, and then embrace the broader vision of what it can and will become, I believe it would end a lot of the problems here...or at least lessen them.
Too many people are rushing in to just grab as much cash as possible, using whatever means possible, even to the detriment of others. That kind of mentality is just so rude and far outside of the vision we have all shared before this onslaught began.
And you're right about rewarding the right people. If we don't reward the people who truly care about this community, the members will be getting together for SpamFest instead of SteemFest, because the spammers will be the majority.

@stellabelle and @joanaltres
You both are the type of women we need more in this world to make it a better place and i am beginning to imagine if you both goes into politics the masses will benefit more. I don't want to think i am wrong in my assumption.
Reading this interview change my views of this platform, got me motivated and inspired and also challenge my lazy self to get up of my slumber and see the great works females are doing.
@joanaltres you deserve more than donations from this post and you are a good example of the adage that says "do what to others what you want others to do to you"

I haven't heard of Christian anarchism but it makes sense. I know Buddhists who say something similar. I think many religion at their core are anarchist in nature but usuallyarent recognized as such.

@joanaltres, good work and I hope the best for you. @stellabelle, thanks for sharing. It is great to escape. I escaped with basketball. We can steem off with Steemit. It is good to be good. I like smaller government. I would go for no government. If government was good or better, then things would be different. But they aint. People can be bad. You do not have to teach people to be bad. How can we be good? People must have a new heart to be good. People need like a heart transplant. If government tells me to do a bad thing, should I do the bad thing? That is a great question. People died in my life. Friends died. Family died. Some of them. Not all of them. I believe in the golden rule. Thanks for posting.

Hi Joana
I have recently been caught up in a lot of controversies with what people present courtesy following as. But after reading you interview I see and admire the high level of respect you have for the steemit community and you high level of integrity. Even when you had financial hardship you still did not harm the community when it was available at your finger tips. You have my utmost respect for that.
And I liked your explanation about how mass followers that are heterogenous in interest is not the best approach. I am in two minds about trying your approach. I have worked tirelessly for 4 weeks putting out long and researched posts to gain 370 followers. Another difference I see is that you do not unfollow people by the hundreds which is a practice I see out there.
Listen I believe you are on the same page with my cause to help minnows like me and my fellow minnows. BUt I tell no lie that I will continue to work tirelessly and invest some money into steemit at some point once I have sorted out the purchase of my own home in the next few weeks that I want to be doing this full time. I love writing and I love contributing as I come from a back ground of owning and managing huge online forums. And that is what I love to do best.
So I will be bold and ask if you will go to @yoda1917 and give me some assistance in getting me more exposure, and hopefully a better following.
I know I am thick skinned to ask you this. But if I don't ask, the answer is no already. That is what I teach my students. When they randomnly ask me to buy them a cake for their birthday, I do sometimes just to make a point about having to ask.
I look forward to hearing from you whatever you answer may be.
Regards
Yoda

You're heading in a positive direction, imo. I wouldn't change the path you're on. Just be mindful not to provoke certain people here as you gain influence. Some of them can damage your reputation beyond recovery. It's happened to more than a few - so when you're tackling issues, taking a stand against something, use as much tact and consideration as possible. That's about as much as I can tell you, based on several months observing the behavior of those who have high status and power on this platform.

yeah, exactly. I started noticing Saint Joan (as I will now be referring to her) because she would put her comments on some of my blogs and resteem them. But her real magic happened when she found my mother's post and resteemed that. That basically sent my mom's post into orbit, getting all kinds of new views and upvotes. I'm trying to convince my mom (who is almost 80) to quit her job and just blog on steemit for her money. She still has to work to have income...but she told me recently that she's not interested in making money, only telling her stories, as she said she has a lot to recount of her life.

You have a great heart too . However following 50K+ will be overwhelming as your feeds will always be filled with posts and you will certainly miss out some top posts.
Hope both of you will see my latest post (where I cited you) on steemit taking over social media.

I rememebred reading this article from you
See what the 'Patron Saint of Steemit' has been up to lately. And to think she had Steemit's good interests at heart and people where donating money to her. Reseteems for money, what a noble act. I don't think I'm powerful or influential enough to stop it, but hope you would think about doing something. If you feel there is nothing wrong in it, my bad and please ignore.

@stellabelle, the learning never stops at steemit. I have about 164 followers in my 3 weeks here and after reading this post, I am thinking of doing radically the opposite.
I have till now a total of 10-12 posts and I will just check how many of my follower have left me at least 1 comment in my blogs. That is 1 comment in all my 12 posts.
If I find anyone who hasn't bothered a single comment, then I will just unfollow them. May be I will drop below 100 again. I will follow the same principle that I employ while following someone. At least 1 comment ( short, long, good, bad, right, wrong, appreciate, criticize whatever) in 10 consecutive blogs is my bench mark. I will make it a point to leave 1 or more meaningful and constructive comment atleast once (among every 10 blogs) of all the 76 accounts that I am following now.
I think I will relieve my dead followers so that they have one less feed coming from me to their page.
I never resteem. Instead of resteem, I am focusing on maxsteem ( have written a blog on that). I haven't done it second time yet. Been hectic schedule with personal work. But will do maxsteeming regularly sometime soon.
I have all this radical ideas and I am swimming against the tide. Apparently my blogs have failed to get any traction at all, which is understandable by my miniscule followers and the deluge of posts out there and my upvote has insignificant influence.
But I want to stick to my idea and see how it works out in coming days.

Maybe I can convince her after this to a recap post with all her favorite resteems, as a service, so to keep her own financial needs taken care of.....

Does the Giving Steem initiative has an account of its own?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

No all the donations come from the SBD that I earn from posting. But that is only my part of it....the initiative is to encourage more Steemians to hopefully do the same or similar. It doesn't matter to me if 'Giving Steem' grows into something else or is superseded by something better organised or more effective. The only way it can currently scale is if other accounts do what I'm doing. I like the idea of that because it feels like accountable, transparent, decentralised, direct giving.

yes I like that also. Plus when people see others giving, it plants the idea in them too.

Additionally, as Steemit grows, it will be flooded with a kind of grab-all mentality that we see in corporate worlds. It will become even more necessary to show these kinds of people who are doing the opposite, and who are actually doing great service here in steemit.

Absolutely. There are significant cultural changes that we need to go through before the deeper benefits of Steem can be realised. That's only to be expected. It is incredibly important for people those who can envision something that could make a difference to everyone forever, try to show how that vision might be achievable. They are all small things really that for most come naturally with security and opportunity.

Probably the only Steemian who doesn't care about the rewards at all. For herself that is. Instead, working hard to give others the best possible experience she can. - That's truly inspiring.

Oh, btw. This also happened!
Sure, I don't know if all these things happened because of the Resteem from @joanaltres, but I know it was a huge help at least. - And I'm truly thankful. I think you're doing a great thing here, rewarding her. I don't have much myself so I can't really give anything major.. A couple of SBD's is the best I can come up with.

I hope you have a Great Day!

I'm a little disappointed to see the top two followed both employed the strategy of just spam-following everyone, regardless of merit.
But, on the other hand, I guess that increases the likelihood they followed me...as if their feed is anything but a database-crushing disaster...

Ah, well, it's probably not a big deal and who am I to judge, but based on your image, it looked like:
#2: always1success
...and, most likely:
#5: carlobelgado
...both did the "follow everyone plan" as well, which also means they have an unusable feed and that their follow on anyone would be meaningless.
I'm excluding sweet here, because her number is lower (and plausible), plus because she actually follows me and comments on stuff. I know she's active. I have no idea how she can use her feed, but she's a commenting machine so I wouldn't assume her follows were auto-clicks (based on her post:following ratio being good).

Dope post very insightful into the mind of a top steemer. I might not take in or use all the advice that was given but this gives me a guide. Our strategies have to change an adapt with the times on this platform. This knowledge can definitely propel each and everyone on here. She is a good example to us all if you put in the work, the man hours, and interact with your followers the world is ours. Thank you again for interviewing a whale an how they operate on steem.

It's seems a good strategy to adopt in case if you want to get greater curation rewards, but it also fills your feed with too much low quality posts which makes it hard to notice some good posts out there. So, whoever is courtesy following her back must have a lot of other accounts as well whom he or she had followed as well in courtesy which makes it hard for them to check the posts of Joanaltres. Well that's just my point of view and I totally respect Joanaltres's as well if it's in her benefit she must continue doing that. Thumbs up.

She really is Joan of Arc. I cannot say I know of anyone else on this platform who has done so much, and yet has received so little in rewards, out of self-sacrifice and humility. I think she is a saint, in fact it is clear that she is. She is the Patron Saint of Steemit: Joan of Alt.

Hi @stellabelle, thanks for taking the time to not just look up @joanaltres, but to interview her to find out more about her.
In respect to her mentioning $2.50/day pay in the Philippines and saying $5/day would be life-changing income for most people there, did she mention anything about the exchange process for the people there? Do the government or banks there impose any restrictions on crypto, or are they free to trade like here in the states?
I have read many articles about other countries banning or restricting crypto since they see it as a way to circumvent their national currencies, but people take the risk to break free of it. Just curious if you know or not.
