Hello again Steemit universe and all Steemian inhabitants, good to see you all again :)
Well I must say it was an incredible day yesterday! The experiment is officially up and running, hoorah! The response has been just awesome, I honestly didn't expect anything for my first few entries here, but the wheels are actually in motion which is super exciting.
I was able to pass along 10 100% upvotes to participants amounting to nearly $2 in total and man did it feel great. I know my SP is not whale, or dolphin even yet, and it may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but I feel like I was able to help at least a little bit.
I received many comments on my first post and I did my best to reply to all of the ones that weren't obviously bots (and even some that were, haha) and I wish to thank you all so much for your participation and support! I received some criticism as well as some constructive criticism, and that is great too. The point of an experiment is to learn and grow, and the point of this experiment is to learn and grow and help others grow too, so I welcome all of your feedback, whether it is positive or negative. You are all helping me steer this experiment, and I want it to be good for everyone that chooses to participate.
With that in mind, I thought I would give some updated info in this post, based on one of the comments that I received and open things up to questions and/or suggestions from you, the Steemians!
The update!
So one commentor in the first post asked if I will be focusing on users with less or more SP than myself. To answer that question I would have to say that I suppose I am focusing on users with less SP than me, since I am more able to help them grow. However in order for the experiment to grow @feedbackloop also needs support. So here's a little clarification:
Any and all Steemians are welcome to support the experiment, whether you are a plankton, minnow, dolphin or whale however at this time the manual curation part of @feedbackloop's votes will go solely to those who have less SP than I do (currently just over 1000) If you would like to support @feedbackloop's growth but would like my votes to go to users other than yourself feel free to let me know in the comments!
What do you think of this direction Steemians? Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Do you have any suggestions, criticisms, comments or would just like to participate?
Let me know, I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
