Glad you like the idea, @sasukhram! It's for peeps who want to cultivate relationships with other Steeemians and work together in a group to assist each other to grow.

Sorry you had that experience. Steemit is different than Facebook and we'll have a chance to work, play and earn together.

This is critical:

So all this to say that these challenges are wonderful, if people take the time to actually participate and do what they are supposed to, to help each other out.

I see many newbies seeming to prefer to upvote larger accounts because the payout is high, not realizing that everybody else is doing the same, so earnings per upvote will be tiny. Plus not many whales and dolphins have as much time to go around upvoting lots of minnows.

Thanks so much for your feedback and looking forward to steeming together come Sunday! ;)
