RE: Should I start advertising myself through comments?

in #steemit7 years ago

Haha nice, keeping it real! :D

Those people that mindlessly follow will sooner or later regret it and notice that its of no use. Just like the users that lately have been mass following to get a big amount of followers and through that start selling "re-steem" services which will give them pretty much no visibility, rewards or recognition and is only to benefit the one running the service who has tried to take a short-cut for some easy money.

Sort:  

Oh right, those resteeming services, another joke. Gotta hand it to them though, nice way of playing into other people's desperation to get some extra cash! I'd almost do it myself, it if wouldn't make me feel so dirty...

Yeah, like I mentioned in another post about it the other day, I'd feel sorry for my followers.

Exactly. I hardly ever resteem and when I do, it's to fill in gaps I leave on my usual topics. People follow me for a reason, so I'm not going to feed them random crap. It would basically mean losing good followers, so it would cost me upvotes in the long run. Not a smart move any way you look at it.

Exactly. I was a bit on the verge of resteeming @ocd posts since I know they are very random but to give the account and those authors visibility I'm using my followers for that and knowing that its activity is for the greater good of the platform.

Usually I've been very careful with resteems before that and I think many others should be as well.
