You paint with a pretty broad brush.
Accusing all minnows of being whiny little bitches is just as bad as saying all whales are circle jerking pricks.
It just aint so.
In a little over a month I've made almost 1500 posts and have over 300 followers with no follow4follow bullshit.
In fact, when someone new asks for that, I send them to a post explaining why it's a bad idea.
A little moderation would be more helpful to people willing to work hard and succeed here.
He also misled everyone into thinking that he actually built a following of 3000 from scratch. I got him to cover his tracks but that's one of my duties here. I make bullshit artists even better bullshit artists. :-)

I suppose I should be somewhat grateful, he did inspire this post: https://steemit.com/stee/@theblindsquirl/rant-about-follow-beggars-hey-whales-upvote-my-shit

I'd stay as clear as possible from this guy. Look at the new post he put up asking everyone's opinion about whether he should buy STEEM at the current price. 3/4 of the way into the video he makes sure everybody knows how slick he is where he's showing the chart and he says >>>"We were buying here." as he points out the low on the chart. My advice to this clown is that if he was slick enough to be buying that low he doesn't need anyone's advice. He's obviously putting up as many spews as he can to generate as much income as he can from the steemit flock of sheep. Wiggers like this clown are the worst that this site has to offer.

Oh, I know, I am targeting the worst of the worst. I'm gonna single handedly take him down and make him cry. Actually, the market itself is going to make him go silent. :-)

I care more about the message he's sending and the people who's behavior he may have an influence on.
It's one thing to cut your own throat for a few quick bucks, it's something completely different to drag unsuspecting, easily influenced people down with you.
That reflects poorly on all of us, even if our only misdeed was allowing it to happen.

Ehhh, imo opinion 90%+ of the people in the world are followers and always will be followers. There's nothing you can do or say to change the thought process. It's a good thing actually because when you get 90% of everybody thinking the same way they are usually wrong. And that creates tremendous opportunity. I'm more concerned about those who will act on the opinions of these charlatans. The one guy I said was the worst of the worst for instance has a HUGE following. I call him the poster boy for the bitcoin bubble. He is always breaking out the champagne and cigars and saying "this is only the beginning!" when things are at a peak and about to reverse for a 30% drop...and then he says nothing when there is a chance for the sheeple to actually buy and make some money. Yet no matter how much pain he causes to the 5% of those who actually act on his advice...the 90% consider him a god. :-)

You've just listed about 5 good, well thought out post topics that are buried in this guys curation trail.
Don't give him any more of your life.

Typical...Charles the Fuchs head just flagged the original spew I made towards him where I called him out on his tactics. He talks about whiners and crybabies...and then he goes and flags me simply because he can't handle the truth. I think I will downgrade 90% of Charles Fuchs entire sub base to lemmings from sheeple. Anyone who generates one dime of income for this jerkoff "deserves" to stay on his level :-)
