You mention several things here that need to be said and most likely over and over again by many different experienced Steemers!
I, like many others, now receive a high percentage of follow me follow you comments and that's definitely not what I'm looking for from this platform!
It seems we have to keep repeating these things as new people keep on signing up and making the same mistakes. I find lots of tag abuse in the introduction feed and see lots of spam comments. For some reason I don't get too many on my own posts. Steemit needs quality posts and comments to succeed. It should become a prime destination on the web.
This: "It seems we have to keep repeating these things as new people keep on signing up and making the same mistakes."
I'll likely make a post about it too so that we keep getting the point out there!
