That's actually a really good break down, on a side note how annoying are those who ask for upvote and follow. I'v had 0 upvotes on a post but a commenter has stated they upvoted my post.
Lieing is not good behaviour on Steemit and won't help you make friends.
Yes that's what they always do. So everytime I see someone asking for follow for follow or upvote for upvote comment I just ignore them. I dont even view their account coz it's just a waste of time.
