Thank you for this post. Yes, it all has to be repeated over and over for the visibility. I was just on a post that was talking about some of the same issues. The statement there was made that the people who need to hear the message the most are the ones who won't bother to read the post. Unfortunately a very true statement.
I particularly like your comment about the introduceyourself tag. I am getting tired of seeing post after post by people with reputation levels in the high 40s and 50s using the introduceyourself tag to draw attention to themselves. It's just bad policy.
Despite all indications to the contrary, there are some new users coming online who want to make the best of Steem and all it has to offer. I hope to be one of those, not one of the other kind. Please don't judge us all by the actions of the follow4follow majority. LOL
Thanks for trying to get the message across. I hope a few minnows will abide by these lessons and grown from them!
