I love the niche aspect of STEEMLEO, especially as time goes by. At first, people tried to game the system and somehow mention a crypto or tribe or two to try to get onto the LEO interface, and NOPE, it didn't work.

They awesome thing I have learned is that you don't need tons of people posting to be successful, you need readers, and reading and commenting get you plenty of leo too. I have over 800 and now they are even making me a (small) passive income. But hey, at 15 cent steem, any passive income is a good income.
