We can't do much about those who just take from Steemit. You need serious SP to counter what they do. We can still support the good content by worthy people. I don't think buying votes is very profitable generally. Work with those who share your interests. It's all about the community

I am glad that some bigger accounts are helping like this. I have, with the exception of one post, struggled to gain any ground here despite putting a fair amount of effort into most of what I produce. I'll try to do some of the things that are suggested here and if I ever find any success on this site I will do what I can to help others get off the ground too. I saw that you upvoted my other comment and I appricate the support.
It really does take time. It was months before I made anything. Keep building links with others. I see you are getting good replies already
Thanks. I'll keep at it.
It may not be directly profitable, but for users who already has money to spend a lot on them draw attention like advertising which fools all the smaller users into thinking it’ll be worth it. It also makes a lot of money for the people who run the bots, money that could have gone to lots of undervalued users and it makes it even harder to reach hot and trending. It also presents a skewed image of the content being created at steemit.
I believe the money at Steem should be shared based on quality of work, dedication to community, even friendship to some extent, but not because you paid someone more powerful than you, directly or indirectly.
I fully agree, but it seems Ned and co are happy with this sort of economy
Agreed, promote those you like, those with shared interests, like you would in offline relationships with family, friends, lovers, contacts, staff, employers, customers, neighbors, etc.
