Hey there, I appreciate this post. I agreee in a lot of ways. I think a lot of this issue comes from blatant misunderstanding how the platform works. People get it in their heads that any upvote and follow matters when that's not actually the case. I talked about this a lot in my recent post as I'm sure you noticed. Nice link drop, this was worth reading. I don't have a lot of solutions, but I'm sure those will come about in time. Addressing there is an issue is important.
