I hear you and I agree with you. My attempt was out of desperation, but I also figured it would be worth more for the people who used my Resteem service compared to many others, just out of the quality of the followers. - However, I also offered this during a very limited time and I was honest about my intentions from day 1. - My readers knew the reasons for this service to appear and they knew it was for a limited time alone.
That said, I truly believe these type of services are pretty much worthless and that's also why I felt like "warning" or at least clarifying my thoughts about these services.
