If I sound rude... I am really not sorry. Lol

You see a lot of People doing what they have been doing on other social networks for years.

"The follow back strategy"
That is when someone follow literally hundred of thousands People in hope they will follow them back.

If You are doing that here in this social media platform in hope You will be making money by having a huge amount of followers. Sorry to break You bubble but that will not happen.

The way that the community is rewarded it is very different and You should take the time to learn about it.

You can earn rewards by being a creator or a curator.

Just having followers won't take You anywhere.

That's why I recommend You to go back to Instagram and Twitter if Your life goal is to have followers just because...

Damn. You tell them Sergio. :)

Sub 4 sub tho? 👀

That made me laugh... Yeah... that is a no as well lol 😉 lol

Preach! Nothing but the truth.

How is it the truth to discourage people who only want to be viewers? I am sure that many people on this platform would love more watchers.

I am not discouraging no one. I am just telling people that if they want more views on their posts they better be creating nice content and engage with sincerity with everyone in here. Only that way people will find them and respect them.

Thank for the clarification, I only recently learned how people want you to follow them in return for them following you and paid flowers. That is all B.S and it should be earned. I only follow like 10 people on YouTube and Twitter.

It is all good. I am happy that I could be helpful :D

Hey @themerge. I appreciate your comment. I see what you are saying but I think what Sergio is trying to bring to the forefront is that this platform is something completely different. It's quality over quantity. It's a place where you should follow people you are willing to interact with and support. For the seasoned steemian like @segiomendes it's truth that you can't do that by bulk following. The amount of followers you have here is not as important like it is on Instagram where you can get brand deals and things like that. Here the people you get to know help you and you help them. It's really something special.

I understand where you are coming from with people following you only with the expectation of you following them. I did that one time on Twitter and quickly realized it was a waste of my time. Like everyone else I am interested in what I am interested in. I am not going to follow you and spend hours of my life filtering through information that has nothing to do with me. So I should say I am really kind of new to the social media world and really new to Steemit. I will figure it out and I have a lot to say about upcoming events.

I think you will find that this is the best evolution of a social media platform. You really can build beep relationships here unlike everywhere else. Thank you.

The truth not always is pretty right?

Has to be said. Thanks for the message, learning myself!

You are welcome. The saddest part is that the people that REALLY need to be watching this video won't watch it 😑 but glad to see that some new people will watch and learn that is not the way 😉

"Follow Back" = NOPE!!!!

You gain nothing with it 😉

Instead of complaining about not following people back, you could just mute them and then not even make a video complaining about it while posting your "other social media things" lol

I am not complaining about it to start. I am giving an advice to people that do that. And yes I advertise my other social networks because it is also important specially on this stage to get the steem blockchain content out and about to bring in more audience. 😉

Here is more is i give upvote to you and you give me back. Thats create money.

Well and that is another way to do it wrong. Lol because there is no point of doing that if you dont like the content! 😊

Sergio é isso mesmo, martelada nessa gente!! Sem dó!! Parasitas!! Não tens que me seguir. Até porque ia-me sentir um pouco desconfortável!! lol
Abraço fica bem.

Lol nao te sintas mal. Vou ficar de olho no que andas a fazer.

Ahah. ok. Obrigado.

really a special one

Hi @sergiomendes today your post best

my first like on dtube...

Thank you so much. I hope it is worth it 😉

Really don't see what they're getting out of it, especially on a plattform like this where your content matters and not how many people are following you (I mean, well besides maybe an ego-push?).

However it is great that you have put out this message. ~

I believe that a lot of them don't realise that following doesnt mean you will be making money... so they think that it is like all the other social networks where the most followers you have the more popular you get and the most successful you are. So that people need to learn that is not like that. 😉 glad to see new users understanding that from the get go.

You're probably right. To many it might sound like you'll be making easy money on here and those are the ones to quickly apply strategies from other social media onto here.

I looked up some things beforehand and saw this more of a "change of the usual". Though I'm still unsure about what to do myself I am really enjoying the content on here so far. ~

It is amazing that you took the time to learn more about the community and it is great you are loving the content in here. There are a lot of people that want to keep that good content coming 😉

Man don't be sorry if that is all true :D Many times people asked me on discord about "upvote 4 upvote" , "follow 4 follow" and I just ignore this shit. Simple.

All best!
Bless :)

But we need at least to tell that people that is not how it works... it is our job to teach people. 😉

Ned's recent comment and downvote towards Dan is just one of many examples of this. It seems to have been the last straw for Dan, who has now said:

"When Steemit CEO uses company stake to vote himself $3000 on a 3 word comment to justify his downvote on a post that declined payment you have a system that is corrupt...I will strive to rebuild a new community that will hopefully realize my original vision."

A good regulator of a system must be a model of that system:

Not only is it not rude, it's good advice and hopefully will change someone's perspective and opportunities on Steemit and DTube.

I only can hope so. I know a lot of the people that do this won't even understand or take the time to read and watch the video... and that is the sad part. 😉 but I had already a couple of new users leaving hopeful comments that not everyone will be doing things like that. ❤

This is good people need to hear it. The U.S. Sergio. Your not rude. :)

I only can do the best I can for the well of the community in the long run... and people sometimes are afraid of talking about this issues or just paint them all pink... because they are afraid of how they are going to be seen by everyone... i guess i am not afraid of that knowing that I am doing the best for the community ❤
