As a new participant on Steemit I have to confess that this post has been very useful. As with all new things we have to open and patient.
I love how steemit doesnt work properly for anyone if you try to hack your way through cheating somehow to get followers or upvotes on an easy manner. This is done by many people in other socialmedia platforms, but this post makes me think that if you are not producing quality content and being a good curator and participant in the community you wont get anywhere.
Yeah, it is a genius design. All roads seem to lead to getting quality followers in the end.
