RE: Steemit Etiquette 101: There is a Right Way to Gain Followers and Numerous Ways To Lose Followers
I think the asking for upvote and people actually doing it might be one downfall of the platform. We should be rewarding good content, for sure. Not just people who ask for it. Which is basically the whole premise of your post. Ha In any case, all of your points are completely valid. I try to let people know that I don't follow for follow. I know one thing I like is to see the content from people I follow because I am truly interested, and for me to go and follow people without thought... that's no good for me cause I'll never be able to keep up with my feed. Making me lose out!
Couldn't agree more. I been getting this slew of con men at my profile for some reason the last week, but its a strange one where they follow silently, I add them and then they dip off or they will ask for a follow but dip off. its getting absurd to be honest and just not playing those games anymore with people. My view is this, just put together some great articles and hope for the best, its kind of a big waste of everyone's time if you are just seeking upvotes and follows for just asking around, so I am on the lookout for content providers vs building a following.
This is why I have my own rule of only following if I am truly interested in what they're putting out. Otherwise it's a waste of effort and a clog of my feed.
Sad thing, those I do enjoy reading haven't been posting like they used to. So even following content lately seems slow, everyone I guess is figuring out the new ways of doing this in Steemit or something.
