I joined steem in 2017. I was very active commenting when I joined and a lot of people get to know me. Likewise, I was hitting the trending page as well and that was very active because some posts were earning in that time till $500 a post and maybe even more. Everyone was excited about steem and what was happening there. Then we had the hard fork 19 I guess and a lot of things changed for me. I stopped hitting the trending page and I decided to create something interesting to help the community. I had a big facebook group, I converted into steemit group. The main idea we to resteem content to share something there because the group was given to me by facebook team when I was very active promoting other projects I joined before steem. I even gathered a team, and we were checking the group, verifying the content if it's original and upvoting people. The group has more than 20k members. All of them were crypto people, and they joined steemit as well to promote and earn at the same time. We even were asking for a fee to promote posts in our community, and we were upvoting people that way. We weren't earning a lot because we weren't taking that much for that.
In that time upvote bots apeared, I think it was the hard fork 20 or 21. I don't remember. So, the team who worked with me on the group, moved to delegate their power to upvote bots instead of upvoting people manually. They were even paid much more because upvote bots had an interesting deal with those who delegated to them. Some of them even were giving 90% of their earnings because that was a good deal for them anyway. I didn't want to create an upvote bot and kept rewarding people for resteeming others and the power I had wasn't that big compared to those who joined my team and people weren't interested that much because they preferred to pay to upvote bots and earn much more and not to resteem anyone.
So, I just stopped checking the group and decided to look for something else. I joined dtube because they were supporting video creators very much. I didn't even had to use the upvote bots, because dtube was ok for me. Furthermore, I even was invited there to the team to curate, because I was interviwing steemians at the same time, and then I created @dcooperation community. We created a lot of collaborations and I kept building the community and supporting many people and promoting steem till the takeover happened, and I defended our community with many others and then hive was created.
I left dtube team and became active more in hive because I was and still get here much more support in term of upvotes or comments and most of my followers moved here. I turned my big facebook group to @dcooperation group and I'm not active there anyway. Here is that group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/clixmoney
Now I have there only 15k members because I wasn't active for a long time and maybe those 5k just left. But it may still keep bringing some traffic, so I'll share sometimes there my posts.
That's my story and that's how I interviewed @khaleelkazi.
Today I just changed the thumbnail, so maybe that video will be found in youtube and people will join to leofinance. I removed from there steemleo.
Today I reached almost 150 leo power thanks to @onealfa.leo and many others who know me and supported my content in leofinance. I'll keep powering up all my earnings here and learn about the tribe. I like everything that's related to investment.
