This was pretty funny. I have to admit though as a newbie to Steemit, I have done a couple of the things on your list. I was actually told at the beginning it was a good idea to sign your comments. I have started to fall out of that habit though for pretty much the exact reason you have given. I would speculate that pretty much everyone hits the trending or hot category to do a little fishing from time to time. Heck how do you think I found you :) This was a great post though. I got a good laugh and some good advice out of it.
Lol, I am glad you found it funny! I had hoped that some newer folk might see it and click through into reading it. Genuine lessons to be learned there lol
I have seen various posts saying to put your sig in the links and I keep thinking, yeek!
Nowt wrong with a bit of intelligent fishing!
Yeah, thanks. It was a very good post. I was going to sign it follow for follow just to be funny, but then I already follow you, so that would have lost something :) It is easy when you are new to Steemit to have pitfalls. Everything is so new and exciting and you are just trying to figure out how to make it as best as you can. Hopefully a lot of people see this and it clicks with them.
I hope it does click too!
It is hard at first. But also an adventure, exciting as you say!
