Yup, you're welcome. What happened was: people started a rumor saying, "It's hard to get noticed on Steemit," then they started offering a "solution" for a fee. Much like how the old snake oil salesmen would show up in a town, get everyone in a panic, then sell their product and skip town the next day. These people bought it hook, line and sinker.

It's hard to get noticed on any kind of social media. It's hard to get noticed in life sometimes. If you work hard enough and become good at what you do, then getting noticed comes naturally. That's life. People seem to think taking a shortcut will help, but it doesn't, and most people know that. These folks taking shortcuts like this push all of the honest people who did well down the list. It's incredibly selfish and where I come from, if you cut in line, people will call you an a$$hole.
