Thanks for writing your views and letting the community here know on tips for getting more readers.
I somewhat feel as well that many people just follow or upvote other users so as to earn curation rewards by upvoting their content in a timely manner. But, community should be more interested in reading the content and actually upvoting the users who have written something thoughtful and spent time writing and researching.

Thank you very much for your comment. I believe that many people tend to do everything in order to optimize their income in the short term. They place their upvotes so that they get as much curation rewards as possible. Many however forget that you also get curation rewards when you upvote comments! Maybe you earn not as much as when you sell your votes but in the end the amazing thing about steem isn't the fact that you can earn money but the fact that you can create relationships with people that have a certain potential value.
