Ah yes, you're right, that was great about Gary. What an amazing musician, he's a world class drummer and a world class keyboard player. And he liked you art, that was pretty cool.
The legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth (died this year) used to tour with Gary playing drums, otherwise Gary was touring with John McLaughlin playing keyboards-- amazing, can you imagine that!
I had considered doing German versions of the Beatles Made in Germany posts -- I mean, if the Beatles sang in German I should have done those posts in German too ;-)
The der, die, das makes it so tedious -- wish they had an auto-correct for that! As you know, if you make a mistake with the gender, then the mistakes snowball with the case, adjective agreement etc. So I have to constantly check the gender when I write. When I speak I usually just slur the articles ;-)
Anyway, I still think Steemit is a great user friendly blog, with tremendous potential. I suppose as long as the viewership is as low as it is, I need to find a sweet-spot for my posts -- not too long and labor intensive. This Michael Jackson post is a good example of what seems to work. It would have been fairly easy to do a German version, I should indeed consider that with posts like this one.
About boosting, @Pawos last post really made me see that it makes a lot of sense. Not boosting is a missed opportunity.
It's like the butterfly-wing theory: You never know how large the impact of what you're doing actually will be. Even if there are only a few readers of an article/tweet, it might be exactly the one, you've been waiting for ;-)
So, if you're able to make a german version of that Beatles series in a reasonable time, you should definitely go for it! Personally I think the gender mistakes would not harm your message in general. It even may give your posts a personal touch (when you mention you're not a native speaker).
Thanks for the tip regarding boosters. As I consider myself being an dolphin, I just didn't want to drain the reward pool too much (so that minnows can also get a piece of the pie). As everybody else is using boosters these days and as I want to support some overlooked posts, I will have to look deeper into it, though.
Looking forward to your German posts and have a great day!
Well, after two weeks of English, today I posted in German. I wonder how it will go...
