I trust that these projects are out there everyday hunting down great and underrated content and giving them some love!

As a curator for @curangel I can confidently say that yes, there are people out there looking for good content, but it can be difficult to find at times.

As you rightly say, it can be difficult to get established here although I feel that many people come with a false expectation and when they don't make a gazillion hive in the first week they tend to either drift away or reduce their quality to levels commensurate with their rewards.

I believe the more a person puts into engagement with other users the better they will do. I don't mean mindless good post bro comments, or welcome to a new user, that stuff is nonsensical. I mean valid commenting on other people's posts, relavent replies that make sense and inspire a little interest.

Add to that some quality posting with a little passion and personality thrown in and all of a sudden a person is putting themselves in a position to start to build a platform.

Anyway, good luck with your brand and I hope you manage to attain your hive goal by the end of the year....And yes, I sent this for some vote love. :)
