RE: Steemit for Newbs Chapter 4: Niche Be Gone - Getting Started
Agree to not asking for an upvote. A bit weird when people, sharing nothing in common and with zero interest in your work, contact you with upvote for upvote'' suggestions. Kinda makes you don't want to go to chatrooms.
My old friend once told me 'good things don't happen fast' so, slowly but steady is the way to go I guess. Great article, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for visiting/commenting.
I feel the same way... I've stopped posting in most of the FB groups now because I inevitably get the upvote for upvote request. I'm thinking, "Dude! You don't have enough VP to give me even 0.01 because you're spreading it around so thinly!" I just reply politely that I don't have enough VP to offer that, but if they leave a meaningful comment, I'll check them out. I think they've followed up on that once now. (And that time, I ended up reporting them to Steemcleaners for their plagiarized content!)
Sheesh, the nerve on these people. At least they would make their own content instead of just taking someone's work!
Yeah, then there are the fake followers - people who follow everyone so that they can get attention to their stream of YouTube videos - none of them theirs, of course. But since YouTube is there to share, no one can/will stop them. (I've asked/tried... especially when one was making it look like it was all their work.)
Thankfully, most of those types get bored fairly quickly and leave.
Just further proof that people want everything and they want it now :/
