RE: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

in #steemit7 years ago

That's what was destined to happen. A majority of users are just here for the money. They just want to make that money ASAP! And so, they do it the only way they know - upvotes, "vote me back" & stupid comments.

But if you look back, wasn't the same stuff happening when Twitter and Instagram first came around?

I mean I remember "Follow for Follow" being a thing.

I guess the same thing is happening here too. The platform just needs some time and smarter users to come in and prefer content over steem.

This is gonna sound kind of sad, but I don't have an instagram account and I just joined twitter this last summer. That was only to keep track of sports though.

I get what you are saying and I have a feeling this will just be the way it is. It may be better to not dwell on it and just appreciate the users that add the value I am looking for.
