RE: Message to Newcomers. Follow back won't take You anywhere.
Hey @themerge. I appreciate your comment. I see what you are saying but I think what Sergio is trying to bring to the forefront is that this platform is something completely different. It's quality over quantity. It's a place where you should follow people you are willing to interact with and support. For the seasoned steemian like @segiomendes it's truth that you can't do that by bulk following. The amount of followers you have here is not as important like it is on Instagram where you can get brand deals and things like that. Here the people you get to know help you and you help them. It's really something special.
I understand where you are coming from with people following you only with the expectation of you following them. I did that one time on Twitter and quickly realized it was a waste of my time. Like everyone else I am interested in what I am interested in. I am not going to follow you and spend hours of my life filtering through information that has nothing to do with me. So I should say I am really kind of new to the social media world and really new to Steemit. I will figure it out and I have a lot to say about upcoming events.
I think you will find that this is the best evolution of a social media platform. You really can build beep relationships here unlike everywhere else. Thank you.
