I see there is quite a 'liking' for 'like for like' culture amongst quite a few users on Steemit and it worries me quite a lot that people think this is the way to go
I have to admit, I myself thought when I first started that it was a great idea, but then I realised, it's not going to get me anywhere. Random people re-steeming and upvoting my posts with no real interest in the content is a 'dead end street' - why would they come back? why would they ever be interested in me and my content?
The truth is, to actually build your ratings on Steemit in a solid way you need to be creating good content, be patient and consistent and actually BUILD with foundation! You can't just go begging for votes....it actually p!$$es people off!!
I've said this before and I'm sure I will say it again....write great content, be active, connect with people, comment, upvote and resteem articles that resonate with you....and follow people you think are interesting!! Stop trying to cut corners in life....it NEVER works!! Sure, you may feel good for a little while when you get that instant gratification of a 1 cent upvote or a new follower, but in the long run you will just get bored of Steemit and slowly fade away
Make the most of what you have here....be you!!
Also, feel free to check out our blog at www.milliondollardestiny.net - It's a work in progress but we're hoping it will strike a chord with a few people out there
Thanks once again for taking the time to check out my blogs....hope to see you around soon!

STOPI'm fine with it @mdd-ste. I don't engage like that, I think it's a waste of time because ultimately the votes that those guys give each other are both meaningless and worthless.
If they just put the same amount of work into their content as they did begging each other for upvotes then they'd be making 10x the amount!
Still, work is work. Haha.
Thanks for the post.
Hahaha, yeah that's very true....as long as they're keeping busy, they're keeping out of trouble! lol
