Big fan of this post. I completely agree with how you want to spend your time and upvotes on Steemit. I want to give my upvotes to those who bring entertainment to me in one way or another. By trying to offer me something, follow for a follow, or upvote for and upvote, I am even less inclined to give you sanything. Just out good and interesting content and interact with the community and you will do well. That's all it takes!
