RE: /r/steemit user growth spike + check these posts out!
I just put up a post about these economic social-media refugees from Facebook that are flooding the borders of steemit. To summarize it here, I think that the growth is going to be good for producers of quality content and will force out these folks who are trying to pick the pockets of the reward pool with self-upvoted comments like, "cool post, follow me and I'll follow you" and spammy blog entries like "make this the most upvoted post on steemit in a week". Gotta put in the work to gain a following or invest in SP. No easy money like some think.
Exactly, there's no point trying to cheat it - build a legit following of people who actually care about your content and the rewards will come in time. We'll probably always have a minor drain on the reward pool from low quality spam slipping through, but its such a tiny reward compared to what's possible if they actually tried to use the platform properly.
I couldn't agree more! Where else can you find such a high income potential with an open door for any blogger who's willing to come in? I don't think there are many opportunities for people to do what they enjoy in media where they don't have to come from obscurity and build up a following the hard way or catch a big break from an established media outlet. Steemit is more than legit if your content is up to par.
