I'm your minnowman! Looking to capture some serious minnows, for some ( super steem power ) minnowsunited

my stories are beginning to build an audience

Do you think that's because you've created voting agreements with others or because your content is good and worth being upvoted?

As for the race being fixed, you may be right, but I've always had great success focusing on relationships and have been in the top 100 most followed accounts. I think a relational strategy works and to the extent you're doing that here, I think you'll all be very successful. What I'm not a fan of is "vote for me and I'll vote for you" because it can actually decrease the quality of the content here. Momentum trading is an interesting example... what happens when a bunch of people trade a crap stock and later sell out? We call that a pump and dump. I think you'll agree with me we'd rather have long term quality here and promote the stocks (i.e. the posts and the good authors) who will consistently deliver that long term quality. Creating crony voting groups won't bring that quality.

So yeah, build away! Just be selective who you're building with as some people are only interested votes, not in quality.

blind upvoting

That's what I'm trying to avoid as well. The thing is, if someone consistently puts out really valuable content which is worth my vote, I have more confidence voting for their next new post. I still read everything, but there is something to be said for brand loyalty that is earned through consistency.

my wish is that others build an audience as well

Excellent! I wish you great success!

We against blind upvote and bad content or spam. We want to give only the chance younger to receive audience for hearing.
What for you good content? @lukestokes
If the person speaks from himself from a heart, uses the thoughts. Itself creates a post. Spends the forces and time.
I consider that it will grow.
But as well as much of us the support at the beginning of a way is necessary.
Who will they teach to do a good post? Correct council. like is not a good way!
We for the equal rights. If the person here only for the sake of money and he is ready to do anything. Even on bad acts. I against such people.
I think we have to be honest before users and first of all before by itself.

Have you reviewed what the whales vote for? It is rarely based on "Good Content" If you have any questions about this check out the "trending" page. Not only are minnows speaking out here, they are talking on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

I read everything that comes through my feed. Nothing gets blindly upvoted. Most of the stuff in my feed eventually ends up getting upvoted, but not quite everything.

I think the biggest thing with this is just getting an audience for your content. If you're a brand new minnow, there usually won't be a lot of people looking at your stuff, unless they happen to see in the few minutes that it is near the top of the new feed.
