I fully agree with you. Steemit should not be seen as a money making place but as a platform where aspiring writers can share their opinions and also enhance their knowledge. But to be frank, I don't have much followers because I am new to the community and I want some. Well, not for earning money through upvotes but to know everyone's opinions and feedbacks. And if anyone upvotes me it will be a matter of pride for me and I will be inspired to post more quality writings.
