RE: Achievement Unlocked: 6,000 Followers!

in #steemit7 years ago

Quite an achievement, another 500 followers in 2 weeks is no easy fit.
I think you get them because you post content that appeals to them.
I personally started following you because i like your stories not forgetting Stickman's adventures.
On the other hand, most stil follow you because you're one of the few that atleast tries to reward his readers. And that is a perfect gesture.
You get 4sbd per post because, subjectively, you do that which you think is right. You do not use upvote bots.
You'd weep when you come to discover the amounts of money these guys with less than 1009 followers yet earning 200+ sbd o each post bury on upvote bots.
They use these bots to push shitty posts to the trending page, bu i am not about to make that my problem, at least not now. You on the other hand, have never used a n upvote bot since i started following you. All your upvotes are organic.
And another thing, most of your followers are minnows whose SP like mine is just around 15sp an upvote from such is quite useless. But i try nonetheless.

Plus, i have come to discover that followers do not necesarily translate to upvotes. So there you have it.
Congratulations on hitting the 6000 followers mark. I wish you more earnings that truly show the worth of your posts.
Stay great.

I value your sincere upvotes. That is how Steemit is supposed to work. In the end I may still have to resort to the means other people use to earn more, but I am holding out for any other option. I want Steemit to work the way it ought to.

If only half the people on here think like you do, the we'd have had such a perfect community, unfortunately thats not the situation.

I dont think upvote bots are inherently bad in themselves. They are meant to promote quality works like yours. It only gets bad when shitty posts are upvoted with these bots. So i think you could use them to promote your posts that way, you'd see more rewards coming in.

I will take that under consideration. My living expenses are higher than they have ever been before, so I may begin utilizing bots just to ensure I can make rent, utilities and so on.

That would be great, bot in themselves do not guarantee profit, but they'll give you more visibility, which is perfect.
