For what it's worth, GallowBoob doesn't have any real "following" that gets him on the front page of Reddit, he's just stupidly good at finding or repackaging interesting content and intuitively knows how to write great clickbait. He did a couple YouTube interviews showing his method, and it's incredibly effective.
Agreed that the high barrier to entry on Steemit may discourage new users after their first few posts fail to gain traction, though.
Interesting. I guess the real test would be if he achieves similar success with an unknown account.
It seems like it's less of a problem with Reddit than other platforms regardless. It's even worse on Twitter, but that's arguably by design.

Here's the video - it's worth a watch if you're interested in content promotion:
He also tells a story about a company that wanted to pay him to post an ad of their product, and he had to explain that reddit doesn't really work that way - he doesn't really get clicks just for being GallowBoob.

I find it silly how a lot of Reddit moderators refuse money though.. and that's why I prefer Steemit. People don't really care about money here (at least not the majority) and yet it's just enough of a motivating force for people to try and get great content out there on the daily.
