People are following to get a follow then they unfollow, it is a lame move and we can see this. People are upvoting at only 1%, we can also see this, what do they think this communicates to the poster with a 1% upvote, pretty lame. We see people "whale baiting" with obvious pandering and recycled articles... It is natural to want to earn more, but why be so stingy, it is not costing you anything and steem will be replenished. I think people dont understand the purpose of steemit is to upgrade blogging and social media with better work. I think good content will continue to be rewarded and steemit will get better, with more discernment and generosity.
