Thanks for your comment. I know how frustrating it can be.

I think there are better options for supporting newbies, and I believe these "pay for votes" projects are going to hurt Steem, in general. If I'm right about them hurting Steem, that will negatively effect every user of Steem/Steemit, even the newbs.

I find every day amazing posts of people with little steem power that end with a couple of dollars, have very few views e.t.c. because they do not have the power to make their post trending or popular and have many more people to see it and upvote.

You should familiarize yourself with @curie. You could support these amazing posts and earn a lot of STEEM while doing so.
