For the last couple of weeks I’ve been rather irritated by crappy postd that took like 2 minutes to write (or should I say ‘copy/paste’?) and make 10 times more money than my posts do (I know I’m not such a fantastic writer, but I do try to bring value and do a lot of research).

Lately, I see the same happen with comments. People are not even saying anything about the article, they just comment with ‘Follow me’.
Because SteemIt is getting more popular these days, all people hear is: ‘you can earn by posting and commenting’. They don’t bother to do some reading and learn how to post a valuable comment (or post). And what’s worse is that those comments actually get upvoted...
I really don’t get it it.

Just last week I read an article in which the writer promised to tell the secret to earn $300 a month on SteemIt. His tip was to write 10 articles a day which would bring in $1 each. Then, he was looking to make a deal with a group of people to post a (crappy) comment on each of those posts and then all upvote eachother’s comments, so you could earn even more...
WTF?!

Writing just 1 article a day takes up so much of my time. How on earth can you make 10 valuable posts a day? And making a deal with people to comment and upvote...???

These are the people that are killing the platform, and they actually make money doing it.

Some times I ask myself if I should spend my time replying to every hollow comment, explaining how it should be done. How else are they going to learn?
But my time is too precious for that. When I see one, I simply smile and go on to the next one...
