@Negativer I totally get what you mean (I am about 2 weeks into steemit) however you can be nice and maybe just a little bit clever, and run circles around most people by actively engaging in the community (which you do some on chat) and being extremely proactive in your approach. In my 2 weeks I have about 275 posts. 50+ actual posts and over 200 comments 70% of which are at least a few sentences and genuine. My whole point being, the way to do it here is the genuine guy way not necessarily nice guy. You are doing great!
