To be honest I feel like half(lol.. ALL OF THEM) of interactions here are a bit forced. Thruth is - people came here for money. Not because anything else. They could blog and talk and tweet and post about anything before. Making profit the easy way without diving and learnign about monetization gave a huge boost to steemit audience. So here is it - a community of people who don't really care about each other but make it look like they reeeeally do.
I honestly just started out here. And try my best to not to post shit. But I was just searching for mass following algorithms because by the end of the day its for me the only way to get attention to my content. There are other ways ofcourse, but following is nice, no? I mean its nice to get a follower, and I always check who followed me so I guess the percent of other poeple will do the same and if they like what I post they will follow back. That's the theory and it worked in twitter.
