I'm still super green here - knew buying followers and likes on Facebook/ Instagram or twitter was a thing but had no idea it was such a problem here too. I'd never do it I'm just asking for arguments sake - is it actually financially viable here - does the ROI work out ? What did he have to pay for promotion to get this much back?

I do have to say the level of care and protection members of the community / platform show over the ecosystem of steemit is refreshing - I like that people are interested in keeping this place honest.
