RE: CURIOSITY: Why is the number one person in terms of followers someone who appears to only resteem? Digital archaeology/anthropology

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I was pleasantly surprised by your post. I have no skin in the game here as a newbie and recognize that there are people who offer value in different ways on this platform but i was expecting an 'expose' type of article but what it did was show how people add to the steemit ecosystem (even the silly random comment people making a shtick for themselves).
I remember when i was first followed by @joanaltres as I am someone who doesn't do a lot of social media, it was very exciting and I felt like maybe this is the place i have been looking for (f' off FB and twitter). I hope to find a place soon myself here but am enjoying a lot of the people i have read and met here. I will def follow you now as i hope to get more insightful reads like this.

I very much do NOT like to attack anyone without proof. I truly was CURIOUS when I noticed she was number 1, and I just started writing my post as I was investigating. Mainly I thought other people would be interested as well. I try not to go in with assumptions, and I've been accused by people here before of being "too soft" or a "push over" when I would discuss art plagiarism with people and such. I'd actually talk to them, consider if what they said was plausible, etc. Some people just wanted me to attack, attack, attack, and I don't personally like that at all.

If I had just reacted to her resteeming and hardly posting in outrage then later on when I found out what she is really like I would have felt great shame.

It truly was a journey for me. It was much like someone handing me an odd shape boxed wrapped in ribbons and my post was me essentially posting a play by play account of unwrapping the box.

I think @joanaltres is very cool. I like what she is doing. It is totally different from what other people are doing.
