Mate, I've been here for a year and STILL don't understand it all. The bots and the upvotes and the SP and the SBD.... I get it... but not really get it. Just do your thing and enjoy the interactions I say :) The more money comes into play the less I find I enjoy it, so I just try to use a few bots n stuff but don't get too bogged down with how many aspects there are to this platform. Time is certainly the hardest part to find enough of to make content, comment on other blogs (and actually read and understand them) plus learning the ins and outs of Steemit. Above all, just enjoy :)
RE: I'm going to give this platform another try.
