thank you for your feedback. May you kindly elaborate on "contributing values", what exactly does that entail?

I think what he's referring to is that being active within the steemit community and posting valuable content - be that a post that gives the reader a feeling or a "take away" learning etc, a comment that's been thought out and provides lets say a solution, valid or constructive criticism or insight and lastly upvoting content which is truly rich.

In my limited experience on the platform, it seems that voting solely to make money can work but it's a longer process than absorbing content and having a strong opinion on the "right content" - which may stand out naturally - and upvoting it. The encouragement partly being on your timing, thus you spend more time on the site and perhaps discover more content...

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your comment. I want to point out that I do spend a lot of time on Steemit, trust me on that. I read a ton of posts daily. Even when using steem follower for upvoting, I don't just upvote whatever post. I go through each listed post and I read the post to see if it is worth my upvote. The only difference with doing it on steemit.com is that on steemfollower I am guaranteed that I will be rewarded more for my time than I would on steemit.com because I get votes in return that are equivalent to my upvotes value. Some people sell upvotes and I'm pretty sure most of us have paid for votes from voting bots. Even the top contributors vote for each other mostly to benefit self. Using steem follower does not necessarily mean I am not making a contribution to the community.
