RE: AskSteemit #3: How did you stumble upon Steemit and what was your initial thought?
In my crypto research the first few months I was watching any youtube video Icould get my hands on that felt unbiased (not pumping a specific coin). I could listen to the videos while driving at work in between jobs. Naturally I knew of @jerrybanfield and saw his first video about steemit, but the big one for me was following @boxmining. He set me up so well with my expectations for the platform. He showed his first few weeks of posts making nothing, and how it progressed. I would have to say @boxmining is the reason I had a good attitude making nothing my first month.
At first I just did a dump of all my old art, but once I became active in chat and started creating new artwork is when steemit started working for me.
That's great! Its really counter-productive to tell people to join cause they can make mad money, they'll get disappointed quick and leave. That's really nice of @boxmining and should be considered more often to at least let them know nothing real comes too easy.
I agree. He totally shaped my expectation and I think it helped me thrive
I think I was also viewing boxmining when I 1st wanted to register.
