I turn all those people on since I'm small and I think every little bit helps. I get many per week. The shady ones get stomped down and disappear. Others are giving me money when they get to certain follower levels or other milestones. I don't worry about why. I just take the money.
I tried it once - paying for them to resteem to their followers and will not try again. I got nothing out of it.
You got nothing because you asked proper steemers
How do you mean that? It's a guy you send sbd and then he resteems. I'm thinking his many followers do not watch or see his feed.
