You do not want to have a whale support you, you see that as sucking up, so you think your friend is a suck-up? You want people to follow you because they like you but then you slam 90% of the people, minnows, and new users (redfish/plankton), as not being able to GIVE you enough support? I am sure you can make more "Friends" and money on Youtube than you could here.
          Your second try, two weeks long, after you lost the keys to your first user name. Not much of a try. How long did you have your other account before getting locked out 2 weeks also? It has taken me 6 months to get to the level you are pretty much whining about. Here is what it says on your profile - - - "YouTuber 📷 Photographer 🎨 Media Artist 🎥 Crypto 👾 Gamer 💻 Advertising Enthusiast" - - - YouTuber, okay that I am sure makes you a lot of money. Photographer, I am sure all you youtube friends pay a lot to look at your pictures. media Artist- how much do your youtube friends value that? Crypto, oh yeah the Youtube crypto dollar. Gamer, youtube , I am sure you kick ass in gaming on youtube. And finally Advertising Enthusiast - - - I hope that is not your real job.
          You don't like whales, you despise your friends, and you treat the backbone people of steemit like they are worthless. With that type of attitude, you really should quit steemit, and go play with the youtube trolls.
