Totally agree, with our young community it seems like people want followers for the sake of followers, the thing is that there aren't that many active users on here, like 20,000 as of mid may 2017. Meaning when you see those $2,000 posts don't be discouraged by their few thousand followers, it will get easier as time goes on and as people join the community we will all grow our steem power. Whoever is in now is an early adopter, we are all going to do fine once a few million people flock over here from facebook/twitter/tumblr/reddit.
