You are free to make your own judgement, I am just empowering you with information.

How this technique works

1. Follow thousands of people in hope that they will follow back in return
2. Some people do follow back (in-fact a lot do!)
3. After a few days or weeks simply unfollow all users you had followed

This makes their followers numbers more than following and to a newbie user visiting the profile, it seems that these are really popular users.

Steemit is very different from the typical Social Networks and we all know it. With this report, I am not trying to point any fingers and you may have legitimate reasons to unfollow people in thousands! I am just trying to bring more transparency in the platform. The aim is to make aware and discourage people from using such practices which otherwise work perfectly on other closed Social Platforms!

This is a good info man, in fact this is one of my few questions unanswered as to the ills of these RESTEEM FOR FEE services, why have they gotten so many followers. It may interest you to read offgrid lighting techniques, I teach the real deal HOWTOs in my daily blogs there. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment @lightingmacsteem. Resteem for Fee is taking this practice to the extreme!
