My journey on steemit has been close to 10 months now. Boy have things changed. Sometimes in order to see where we are going we need to look to the past. I was looking for something to write about and thought of scrolling through some early posts. When I went onto steemit.com I could only go back around 3 months.
Curious as to why and how I can see EVERYTHING on the block chain, I found WWW.STEEMD.COM which easily shows my whole recorded history. This post caught my attention:

It was a salty post on my first exposure to flagging and bot wars. 10 months, and it still seems nothing much has changed.
This was making a post and getting autoflagged by the one and only berniesanders. Someone had upvoted my post with a bot army, and his bot army following them and downvoted anyone associated with an upvote from their bot.
Ha! It's nice to re-visit something I have posted long ago. Unfortunately not much has changed since then. In any case, at least I haven't given up! I'm definitely up from my first 100 SP.
