(replying here due to nesting)

What you're saying is simply untrue. You wrote all of two posts before paying someone to artificially inflate your follower counts and upvote your posts. You harm the entire network by exploiting it and artificially manipulating systems that are meant to reward curators and content creators based on value to the network. If you consistently provide great content and build your own following naturally, you can earn value here. You made a mistake.
