RE: The ONLY Thing I Don't Like About Steemit!
I think that for a lot of people here on steemit, it's about the potential to make more money if you have more followers. I guess I can understand it from that point of view, but just having more followers doesn't mean you're going to get more upvotes. You also have to post stuff that those followers will find interesting enough to upvote.
Yeah, for example what if someone exclusively blogs about parenting? I have no kids, I'm not gonna upvote content about parenting, so if I follow its just kinda a waste. that kind of thing is what I think makes follow-for-follow a little weird, also it turns all of the comment sections into a spammy wasteland
It's hard to argue with that. It's like my page, a lot of what I write about is gardening. If someone isn't interested in gardening, I wouldn't really expect them to follow me. It's just more stuff in their feed that they have to wade through. I do need to expand my offerings though, for that very reason.
