man! I feel this!! Unfortunately, steemit has become a very selfish platform (people think they will get something for free). I firmly in steemit for the long run and want to see it succeed! I therefore, never upvote any spam or bots, I do all of my own voting and if i see anyone taking too much steem off the platform or earning great money for not doing much i do not vote for them. i also try to start and support great initiatives on here, or at least the ones that come accross myscreen!
It would be great to see you at our steemit meet up on 16th September in Birmingham!
If you can make it, there will be a free steemit t-shirt for you, live music from @branhmusic and 150 pounds behind the bar,
