There are good content creators on steemit but they are hard to find. The majority of users only post garbage, and most comments are simply begging for follows.
This is compounded by the limited features of steemit as a website. It's just not easy to sift through all the shit.
That being said, if you spend the time looking at categories that interest you, you will find good content, and usually someone that posts one quality article has posted many.
I find that curating my own followed list almost daily makes my feed better and better. And I try to use some voting power to kill garbage posters when I can.
Yes, I have seen a lot of this too. It is such a shame. Originality is super important in a great community such a Steemit!
I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the tip! I hope they get voted out from lack of upvotes which is why I'm dedicating myself to original posts and creators.
