Hi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. When I read your post title and first couple of sentences, my initial reaction was to say, “congratulations, what a great achievement!” But as I read to the end and let it sink in, I realised that I actually feel the same as you, being new on here too. I have the same questions about what really matters and how it all works. Previously, I had been upvoting on content and comments that I liked, but then found out that as a “plankton” I shouldn’t waste my vote on comments as it’s worthless, like dust in the wind. So I too would like to learn more. I like your transparency btw!
