Thats absolutly not ok.
First just from a Economical stand point steem try to be the next monetized facebook and have a completly new ecosystem. I think these people will be banned since it is against the use policy of the site ( or maybe its not, if thats the case then they will change that for sure ) and there is always someone that will read your articles ! :D like me.
I think that its just hard for the site to show small content creators since everyone has a Feed with his abos. I always check the new posts and thats how I found you. Maybe there isnt enough people doing that right now
