Thanks! Your comment led me to one of @whatsup posts that had an amazing thread, so many comments that helped me get connected to others on Steemit who are doing what they can to grow their accounts and support the community. Was an awesome find. Gave her a follow for more posts and experiences she has to share, thanks for the tip!

And thank God I didn't have to go through 90 posts with zero payout. I was actually really lucky to get curated a lot by curie, from the very beginning. Which I had no clue of at first, then the difference in payouts made no sense. But definitely initiatives like @curie made all the difference for me to stay put on this platform...
