I've been spending most of my time in the comments lately. I'm more interested in socializing than blogging right now, and that's mainly due to the fact that quality content seems to get buried among thecspam posts. I feel like my time is better spent finding and supporting content creators who represent what I'd enjoy seeing more of on Steemit.
It's really disheartening to see that the bots that were meant to support minnows and give us a foothold among the dolphins and whales are now being exploited by unscrupulous users. I'm not a big fan of discord or I'd ask @minnowsupport and @aggroed about some of the content that bot has been regularly upvoting that is very little more than spam or copy-pasta. Rewarding those behaviors doesn't actually help minnows, it just encourages us to pick up bad (but apparently lucrative) habits. Or become skeptics. I've obviously chosen the latter.
My experience here has discovered that I make just slightly over 70% of my rewards from comments anyway, so commenting is actually a great thing to be doing right now. Plus it grows your followers!
Be flexible and be persistent.
As on person said, perhaps he is just a pebble on the mountain-side, but it just might be him that is the difference between a landslide and slope stability. Each of us does make a tiny difference. Lead by example and surely some will follow.
