ey aggroed! great article!! im one of these minnows , finding it all just fascinating and trying to figure it all out here on steemit. my reason for being here has more to do with the way youtube and facebook treating their creators.. im not realy intersted in the money thing, but i find a realy cool way to see how blogposts are valued. and in some way it motivates to make better posts and trying to "convert" my friends to come on steem, most of my friends are somehow active in the creative field. anyway thanx for the article, its has some great tips ill be following, also i hope its will demystify the steemit experience for newcommers. peace!

Facebook was fine in rewarding you with likes and pokes and Farmville cows while there weren't many other social media to match its style and success. Now, it feels hollow when there are better alternatives.
i never realy understood those FB pokes... but yeah, you say what i was thinking :-)
I see their appeal. It's people asking for your attention for no actual rewards besides instant gratification. It was a more innocent form of feeling rewarded compared to what is going on in the shady parts of Steemit right now. Check this:

Compared to that, FB pokes look like the better moral alternative.
hehehe, still.. i wish i had the technical skills to put off somethin like that :-) i guess these actions over time will result in a better steemit experience, becouse some off the initiaters of the platform will somehow push back on these "hacks"
you dont need technical skills. just a lot of money. it's just an account with like 600k SP upvoting another account which just posts nonsense.
hmm, fascinating.. just by looking at it i would say there's some automated system at work doing the upvoting.. im new here dont realy have clue whats going on under the hood of steemit... but flaging should somehow take care of this kinda misuse? would be nice if someone who is experienced would make a video to educate steemit users on this subject
There are lots of videos about it already. It comes down to the witnesses (those in charge of approving rewards) not doing a good job.
