TL:DR The things we up vote to the top of trending are the first things new users will see. Be careful with your vote, and if you are delegating SP ask yourself if it is being used appropriately.
In July 2016 I received a message from @fairytalelife telling me about a new place to post creative works and get much more exposure than traditional social media. It wasn't until 4 or 5 messages back and forth she told me that the content was rewarded. It wasn't until I clicked one of her posts that I saw it was making money.
I was initially sceptical - even seeing the payout - new social media sites come and go. As well as this I'm on so many already (follow me on YouTube & Twitter) and adding another one didn't seem like something I wanted to do.
It was the quality of her work that made me sign up to Steemit. It was her original art that immediately made me view Steemit as legitimate.
