I agree wholeheartedly with you! I know I'm am just a freshman on steemit, but I came to question somethings. And so far so good I've noticed that just the first hashtag which carries the contest title seems relevant as it is the only one that seems useful. The rest looks like a pitiful excuse.

Trying to ask why, it is that way, I'm told just write them. That's how it is always written, you won't see support if you don't

And I'm so glad you took pains to write this, it is one of the most enlightening thing I've read. But there lies a little problem, and that is, a need for reform, we steemians need to start adapting and be intentional about our every moves on steemit. The view that steemit is just an earning platform need a to be worked on. We are a blog and a blog with quality.

As for the X and other social media platform, though I'm not a big fan, i think it all boils down to how famous or how popular you are in the platform i.e your number of followers, variety of posts etc. You can't be posting just steem links on your profile and expect nonsteemians who are out there looking for thrills to click. Anywyas I'll do as you've just said, it's a pity though my followers on X is just too low.
