To be honnest I’m not planning to buy some Steem but I don’t have any problems if other are doing it. Just trying to work hard writting wuality posts, comments and upvoting posts which I really do find interesting. You get whatyou deserve, which can be like writting wuality content or having th u to buy into the system.
I see a lot of minnows upvoting each other just to make a cent, people upvoting their own replies and so on. These are things I can’t understand(have to admit that once in a whilI do upvote a post of my own). Or copy pasting their repies on every post from a reputation above 40.
We are in it for the money or the apprecition. For me it is the last. If I do reply I did read the article in full and comment on the content, not to get an up-vote but trying to start an interacting.
It is sometimes hard, when you post get unnoticed because it is snowed under by copy pastes or just graphics to get an upvote.
Sorry for the long reply but I was on a roll!
