I can say several YouTubers have stated there's no reason to buy Steem. That was before the fork. If community leaders are telling this to their followers what do you think people are going to do? I know on Steemit I tend to do my own thing. I'm not on everyday. I don't use bots to upvote for me. I don't care if I'm on top of the pile, but I do use it to express myself. Like me / don't like me, I'm not here for anyone else but me.
