Having just joined myself, the only thing I haven't liked is that begging and nagging attitude, at first I thought it must be necessary, it was starting to make me wonder if Steem was for me, because if that's how you need to to behave to get anywhere in a community then it is out of my comfort zone.
I do link to a relevant post from time to time, if I really appreciate what the author has posted and it is closely related to an interest of mine that I have posted about, but that is more for the purpose of engaging a person of common interest.
And also why the heck to people feel the need to sign off a comment @blahblah..... "Followed! - Now me! @blahblah"
Their username is directly above theirrequest for a follow and it is more convenient to use because you can just click the follow button without redirecting to a blog.
I feel better having read this, and the proceeding comments, now knowing that the general community isn't in support of this attitude and that I don't/won't need to stoop to that level.
Thanks for keeping me in the game by renewing my faith.
Cheers,
Jono
PS. Following you, no strings attached.
You can take the following as good or bad: I've posted over 500 times now on Steemit, and this post got more comments and views than any post I've ever written. Certainly, the community as a whole doesn't support link-spam. But it also DOES support controversy, even though it says it doesn't like it. Paradox.
Followed you back, because you didn't ask me to.
