I completely agree. Even if my posts are low value low following to start, I can build them up. Granted the occasional "Hey look I made an awesome payout!" isn't too bad because it can serve to motivate others. Outside of that though, I resteem and upvote stuff if it's of value to me, and I post stuff that I find fascinating to share!

I always credit original sources, paraphrase instead of quoting where possible, and try to distinguish between opinion and source referenced information.
