Thanks boss @crypto.piotr!
I really appreciate the memos you have been sending, i tend to enjoy most of your posts. Concerning your post , my own opinion about the two subject matter: Resteeming and Mentioning. I would actually say this does not really work.
Resteeming
Though it might have work for many minnows (different communities) on steemit but has for individuals it rarely work even the newbies do not even stand any chance. I have a lot of experience where most time i send my hard earn steem and sbd to many account who claim to be a resteeming bot, but i have nothing to be happy about because i dont really see any value in it because my post still remain the way it is till the payout day. i might even end up not getting a single steem dollar on my post. In my opinion resteeming may only work for few and 90% of the newbies doesn't really stand a chance at all, resteeming might be wasteful and irrelevant .
Mentioning
As for mentioning, little also enjoy the privilege of this because mentioning can be useful and profiting only if you actually mention who you know either. Many are mentioned but only 5% can be concern about this act and decide to go through reasons why you mention them either reading post or by upvoting as your reward.
I am also a victim where i was writing a task by reviewing people i advise people to follow in order to build engagement. I mention big names like @originalworks @musing @uttopian.io @steepress @crypto.piotr @mediaworrks and many more. but surprising on thee post, even a single upvote, i got none. the only upvote i got was from @crypto.piotr. I later conclude that i just mention and talk about this account for nothing which seem to be discouraging.
So in my opinion, mentioning is not really helpful but i believe many oter people might have different suggestion and view of this two subject matters.
