This is an awesome post. I love posts when people talk about their beginnings. I too was in the 0% club. For some time. And then the single cents club.
I am pleased if I have helped even a little influence you in any way.
It is hard starting out here. I am glad that steevc managed to find you before you imploded and went full 'blurt'
I used to run downstairs super excited when a post made over $0.25. I'd go tell my wife and she would literally say
"Penny, penny, penny, penny"
and then pretend to "make it rain" with change.
🤣😂
Hehe, it was quite something to have earning for what seemed like little! I got mad excited when I breached fifty cents for a poem!
Yeah yeah. I know the feeling of that as well 😁
I think that's why I liked this post so much. It's good that newbs and not so newbs get a glimpse that we have all been there!
Yes I agree, totally
I talked to @steevc at HF7 about all the shit we have seen over the years and there's lots! The bernie days, grumpycat, steemflagrewards and it's controversies. Could we bring some of those memories back in chapters? I could only do things from when I joined as I was late.
It's an idea and I added a little of it to this post. So much has come and gone, the newer people I am sure would be fascinated by it all. This is why I try and coax knowledge out of the OG users.
Where would I have gone, I could have been the Blurt founder!
There is definitely room for a Horrible Hive Histories!
There has never been a shortage of drama. Reward curves and bidbots and the experiment by smooth and abit.
I almost think fondly of it!
Now there's a title. I feel something coming on!
Hehe, get in!
