I'm not saying to stop following all advice for making money on Steem, rather, to stop following bad advice. In my intro I explain what I mean when I say "Stop following shit advice", and then in the section after I explain why my background results in advice that's worth following.
I'd never tell someone to stop taking GOOD advice, but it always ruffles my feathers when people put out bad advice and then others take that advice as doctrine because it's been promoted to the trending page.
