You lost me at this whole cyclus of the lamborgini :p. Steemit kind of has two sides to it. One of it being a business model, by some played as a game. The other aspect (which encourages me, and I think most of us) is the social applications brought to life because we all care who gets a share of the money. People who are trying to get a quick buck and build themselfs up by the likes of such means as low quality, high quantity (and including ur example of "follow me back") get hammered down swiftly by the community. I made an article about this platform and its difference between the sorts owned by corporations u might enjoy https://steemit.com/steemit/@droucil/how-an-idea-like-steemit-could-change-the-entire-internet
