I can't believe steem has went under a dollar. However, I don't know why I'm complaining. I'm just a small minnow and I need to accumulate as much SP as I can before it is too late haha

Regarding curations, I agree as time goes on it is going to be harder to find consumers and curators.

I don't know if that is because after HF 19 people have been reserving their upvote due to voting power or because of the numbers of users joining creating content and ultimately creating this flood of posts.

My self-upvote percentage used to be around 20% (now it is 14%) before but that was because when I first joined the platform I would upvote everything I'd see including my posts even though my upvotes were worth $0.00... nothing. It did more harm than it helped me and after HF 19 hit I don't think I've ever self-upvoted myself on a comment.

As time goes on that number will keep getting smaller and smaller and I hope I can get to around 1% or 2% but I'm glad I'm not like some people I've seen who have 50%+

Also while the price of steem is low I've been converting all my SBD to Steem and I hope so before it gets too expensive @stellabelle! :)
