RE: How does one succeed at Steemit without being a conspiracy theorist?
The conspiracy folks are very active around here that's for sure, I've never quite been able to figure it out myself, but that's one of the nice things about steemit is there's no central all-seeing hand (see what I did there? haha) to censor anyone.
If you're into precious metals or interested I recommend checking out the #steemsilvergold tag, there's a few "conspiring-theorists" around the community there, but the only "conspiracy" the group believes in is that the federal reserve is a terrible thing...
If you're into Every Day Carry gear or discussion or anything like that I've been slowly working at trying to get a #steemedc tag growing. Usually the only conspiracies that crop up in the EDC forums I've been around revolve around whether or not xyz's companies quality has gone down over the past year, etc hahaha...
Those are my suggestions to at least try and find a place here on steemit that doesn't revolve around chemtrails, fluoride in the water, vaccines, natural born healing, or any of that stuff!
More generally I think just following and interacting with those you follow and who follow you is the best way to gain a good base that can lead to better upvotes.
Have a good one!
Great comment @stnwllstrtgc. It's nice to know I'm not the only one on here turning a blind eye to floride in the chemtrails. I gave you a follow to help the search! :) Thanks!
