Any comment of value, attached to a comment or post, that I write, receives a 25% or better upvote from me. That's how I drain the rewards pool.

@jpinka, for that comment, I am now following you. My new focus is to engage with people that are into engaging. I'm struggling with the concept that I will cross the 1K follower barrier this week and maybe, 40 or 50 of those people ever interact with my account. It feels pretty hollow.

I am looking for active steemians that are of similar mindsets and want to find success thru the platform, on a personal and financial level. I think steemit can happen on a grander scale, but the spam and dead accounts need to be purged.
