I follow some big accounts too and do comment on interesting posts, but these days I rarely do so. I find it more interesting to interact with people who truly want to engage.
Those new accounts that post four or five times a day are hard to want to follow, because it's not generally all that meaningful writing. I agree though that they shouldn't just down vote they should try to educate them first. Many are clueless and at first think the more I post the more I can earn.
Downvoting will just drive people away from Hive, educate them and they might become a great resource for the community down the line. My opinion anyway!

You're right, when an account doesn't seem to want to curtail how they do things, it's very hard for them to follow. However, I personally don't want to make it a duty to talk, and I won't downvote either. I prefer they get to learn on their own, but some people would rather downvotes accounts that make mistakes rather than actually correcting them.
You're right, many things it's the more they post, the more they earn and it can be very problematic for them.
Overall, I think there should be way more diplomatic ways to get things done rather than just downvotes though.
I agree with you one hundred percent. It's better to talk to someone than downvote everything. Hivewatchers do the same, just accuse someone of using AI and downvote rather than reach out and educate. It just drives away potential great Hive members...
