Even as your post pointed out the sad parts of Steemit, I still laughed, because of your funny writing style.

I am on Steemit for almost 1 year now and I can tell you the fact that there are a lot of South-Asian Good Ambassadors and Shit Pumpers on the site.

Actually, there is a specific/separate place for Shit Pumpers on the Steem Blockchain. It's called "dMania". It's like "DTube", but with memes.
Beside dMania, Steemit also have a lot of Shit Pumpers, especially when we talking about the "caught your attention by following you" part.

To explain why the Why-Do-I-Even-Have-A-Camera - people doing their thing is simple.
They are doing it just because why the D-Fags are doing their thing. The money. The easy money. Or at least this is what they think.
