📣🚯 Seriously ! If you want upvotes / follows /or resteems , read some helpful advice ! The garbage posts and crap that is littering steemit with no proper comments or replies is getting worse every day ! Even in my feed it takes 30 minutes or longer to find a decent post to upvote , or even a veteran member that's posting anything good these days ! Its like where did all the veterans go anyways !? Did they also get tired of the crap , mostly from all the hundreds of thousands of members that have recently flooded Steemit in droves ! ? We all know that your new , and learning the platform can be very challenging , but Seriously! Its time to address some issues that are currently plaguing Steemit by Newbies ! ! 📣🚯
📣 (1) STOP SPAMMING !
Pretty self explanatory ! Im tired of getting tons of replies in my posts asking me to upvote your post by leaving me links that don't even have anything to do with my post itself !!! And now you guys have Bots doing your dirty work for you ! Not only that but your constantly asking for upvotes / follows / resteems , in private messaging , as well as on steemit chat post promotion over and over , its relentless really ! And makes me not want to upvote / resteem / or follow you ever !!! Please STOP begging everyone for upvotes , its getting you no where , in fact i'm more likely to mute you because i'm tired of being bothered about it all the time ! I'm sure that's why most veterans are not on here much anymore like they used to be !!
📣 (2) STEEMIT CHAT!
Read number 1 ! Also in case you didn't realise , by asking for Upvote for Upvote in postpromotion as well as in private messaging is totally wrong ! My upvote as well as many veteran steemers is worth much more then your upvote even at a 1 percent vote ! We only get 10 / 100% upvotes per day , do you really think we will trade with you !? As well as resteeming !? We have way more followers then you do ! When you resteemed my post no one sees it ! But tons see yours , so what your asking for is 99% in your favor !!! Of course at times we like to help out all new members ,but we will do it when we see something that deserves it and we like it !! STOP harrasing every one , everywhere ! ALSO STOP posting your links every 5 min. In post promotion , your hogging the feed and burrying everyone else's links that we are trying to promote ! ONLY POST THE SAME LINK ONCE EVERY 2 HOURS ! Spamming again !! Tsk Tsk !👎👎👎
📣🙌 OK ! End of Rant ! Remember , patience and persistence along with dedication will pay off in the end , once you gain more QUALITY followers , Over Time ! It took me a year of working my but off , without spamming and begging , to get up to 1500 + followers ! Just relax , blog like you normally would anywhere else without expecting to get paid for it like you do here ! Have fun , comment , enter contests to win some money , and the followers and money will eventually take care of itself !! Best of luck to you all and WELCOME TO STEEMIT !! We are one big happy family here !! Steem On My Friends !👍

I know exactly what you mean about the garbage posts and fake comments. I don't have lots and lots and lots of posts because I've been trying to create original content or at least write about events in my own words rather than just copy and paste from online sources.
I have also noticed that some of the comments (not that I get a whole lot) on my posts are fake. Just generic comments that will on any post or at least into a topic.

At first i thought I would be nice and help out people with low reputation but then my inbox was blowing up asking me to upvote posts that I would end up getting .01 cent on mine. It takes me days to put together a post but yet I see some people posting multiple times a day, everyday. That makes me question the content.

@ptmikesteem I kinda know what you mean about it taking you some time (can be days) to put together good content. Some of this depends on how we are living. If some us have 9 - 5 (or any hours) jobs then it can be VERY difficult to get put together a good post. If some of us are more independent and have learned to make money on their own time, or have bought assets which makes us money, (no punching the clock and grinding away for the boss) we have much more free time and with that often more free creative energy in us to write.
Family is a factor too. Kids. Or taking care of elderly parents/grandparents. There are so many factors. So its really difficult to tell by just judging by the amount of content someone is publishing.
It could be that they have the free time and energy to do that or it could indicate that they are just pumping out garbage which took very little, if any, effort and brainpower to create.

Excellent advice. In my first week on steemit I've found that I make the most money by putting 1-2 hours of work into a single post. My highest reward has been $46 worth in 12 hours and i poured my heart out about my wife, her birthday and our fun weekend together at a local state park with good and unique pics (yoga pictures at the waterfall and some racy pics of my wife in her swimsuit).
My very limited experience has taught me that quality >>>>>> quantity and one should leave the post there and not do the upvote / resteem bartering that you talked about. Thanks for confirming my take on quality posting. Sad to hear that spam is clogging veterans' feeds. I hope my posts are viewed as quality material as I put a lot of effort into them and I truly want to learn how to create quality content that contributes to the community in a positive way.
I'm definitely following you as you seem to know your stuff. Thanks again for the information. It is very useful to know.

that was a well said rant. I completely agree. I think there was a time I to begged for votes however I grew out of it and am now also frustrated by those people. You build your following the old fashioned way. I an not as high as you but I would not have gotten to a 50 by begging. I try to do quality posts today. However what may be quality to one may not be to another. What perplexes me is at about 385 followers I hear from VERY FEW of these people. Where are they???? I have about a dozen true followers. Don't know where the rest are. Do they see my blogs or are they too busy getting more upvotes from additional new followers? I follow about 70 people. You my friend are one of them. Thanks for your good posts. I try to as well however I learn from folks like you and hope that all may choose to truly follow. - Again thanks for sharing. - Troy

Unless its an awesome post where I would give a 100% vote on , I usually give a 20 to 50% vote as I don't like my power to drop below 60% ! Anyways thanks again ! Best of luck to you !! 👍👍👍

While I am a newbie, I have been trying to stick to the "steemit etiquette" as much as possible. It's pretty irritating when you spend a lot of time on a post and it instantly get's buried by a wave of random short-lived content and is only commented on by what are obviously bots. This is particularly true of the very popular tags such as photography or life, where people seem to use it as a dumping ground for any kind of vaguely related content.
I am hopeful though, as I believe steemit is only just coming out of its infancy and will develop solutions to those problems as it grows and improves.

The garbage posts are infuriating. How can a human come on this platform and aspire with all their might to be a spambot? It boggles the mind.

I think, when people who are already established , if they spend some time to look at newbies posts and only support them who do not spam, or who write on their own, will change the trend.
Because when a new person is joining, he gets many such comments and its obvious to get trapped. So if the guys who already have gone to the top, spend some time, to filter out the good ones and promote only them, then only this will change.
Artificial Intelligence can never beat the Natural Intelligence. So I urge the people who are on top, set up trends to beat these bots.

Well said Karen, it is getting much harder to find good stuff in Steemit, I also blame the newly arrived in their rush to earn millions (not possible in a week/month/year).
I think the buy your upvote bots have a big influence on this behaviour too, many accounts just throw up a copy & paste or use undredited images then buy an upvote cha-ching free money while p!ssing off the majority of Steemit community with garbage.
If this goes on too long, Steemit will end up losing it's longer term members who will just up and take their STEEM & SBD and leave...this will leave Steemit with a platform full of trash mostly.
As it is Steemiit is slowliy filling with bots, upvote bots, comment bots, curation bots...what next bots that actually write the posts for the bots to vote on and drain the rewards pool.
You got an upvote & resteem from me, more need to see this.

I have been seeing quite a few vet's of steenit posting about this issue. I have only been on steemit for about a month or so and I can see that doing what you have described is no way to go about doing this! I personally will never ask or beg for someone to up vote me in anyway, it is just ridiculous in my mind. I want to earn every follower I get, I will put in the work that is necessary to gain a strong follower-ship. I want people to follow me because they agree with, or at least respect my point of view. I want them to interact with me so that I can become better at creating content, I am doing this for them not me. Of course I get something out of it, and its not just money. I get life experience, and joy when I have impacted a persons life! I love the fact that so many vet's are posting about this issue, and I deeply respect all of your efforts to stem the tide of this spam disaster! Thank You!

Yeah it has gotten pretty crazy and there are some users that seem to be pretty engaged but I can never tell if their content is original or not. Like I feel like they stole a bunch of artwork from someone else. But I really don't know.
I think some of the vetrans got slightly burnt out a little bit. I know for me that if I can make $100 / day on Steemit across 4 posts then I feel good about it. If I'm putting up posts that are earning $2 it makes it tougher for me to keep focusing on it because my expenses are so high and I spend too much time on here already.
Also it is really tough to keep up with my feed and try to look at all my friends posts on here. Then I feel like a rat bastards if I don't upvote. Right now my Steem voter isn't the premium service so I can only upvote 10 people and the rest I'm doing manually.

That's why at the end I said what I said , to be nice and explain that we are a big family , and once you have been here a long time and work your ass off , you too will feel the same the way ! Its starting to take over steemit in a bad way . Thanks so much for your great comment ! 👍👍👍

i noticed the same thing as a newbie ans was failing to get some inspiration to post good stuff because of the garbage overloading the platform. it is really disturbing how genuine authorship is being confused on this platform with gibberish found

This may sound weird, but before the Community Challenge I was highly annoyed with the comment spam f4f. During the challenge, I don't recall getting the comment spam. As soon as the challenge was over, bam, right back to the spam, only this time maybe they're bots.
Did this seem to happen for you too?

Great insight. That's what I'm doing. Although I'm new here, I never ask anyone one upvote or even follow me. I appreciate my follower much more that way. But it's so hard that I put so much time for in writing the post and only got couple of upvotes. I got discouraged and haven't past in couple days. You reminded me that I need to keep at it and everything will work out. Thanks.

So, I'm Steemit newbie (convinced by a friend despite my deep reservations). However, part of my fears have just been confirmed by this post. Not sure I have the patience to stick it out but we'll see. Totally agree with @sgnsteems, there should be an etiquette guide.

welcome to steemit ! Just don't spam peoples posts giving them links all the time in their comments that have nothing even to do with their post , or beg all the time for up votes and resteems ! LOL so many new people per day do this to me , they assume because I have been here a long time my up votes worth a lot ! LOL! When in fact its not because I had to power down a lot of money so I have hardly any steem power now !! So even a 100% up vote assuming I have 100% voting power is only worth maybe 9 cents !! So spamming and begging is getting them no where ! Just have fun and blog !! Don't plagerize and in time once you build up a following you will eventually get more up votes and make more money ! It took me a year of full time blogging !!! Rome wasn't built in a day, this is not a get rich quick venture !! Relax and the money and followers will come in time ! Good luck !👍👍👍✌👌💙

So difficult to catch up on the feeds already and we still have to deal with this spamming comments and spamming link drops in the chat. I fear going chat to promo now because it's like telling people you are are and available for more spamming

Why do accounts have to spam anyway....is it pure greed. Is it to (hopefully) boost eyes on their posts...
Take note that doesn't work most of Steemit hates it and will end up hating those doing it. Spamming = no upvotes, no follows, no resteems, very soon no reputation either.
upvote & resteem
