Nice post and thanks for sharing. I've read this from some other Steemonians too and I absolutely agree with you that one should read the posts and follow those that post great articles that really interest you. I personally believe that people should blog out of passion and joy and not just to make money. I see far too many lame posts and people trying to get others to upvote their posts.

I second this comment, @averyandme and @walkingkeys.
I've only been around for a few weeks here on Steemit. Only published two posts for a photo contest, all my other posts are comments. I'm still trying to get a better understanding of Steemit. I mostly comment on posts that I actually enjoyed reading, like this one. But I also see many posts that aren't that great, "lame" as averyandme said, and lots of copy/paste 'follow me / upvote me" comments.
I haven't been around long enough to know whether this works or not, but I'd like to believe that the effort of giving genuine comments and quality posts is ultimately rewarded. The strategy you recommend, walkingkeys, sounds like a great one. I've already been doing that here and there, but not so much as a strategy. Will double down on that!
