Main problem
There is one thing what makes me angry at steemit! - Fake accounts... They are so problematic for me because it only gives me illusion of my progress here, and nothing is fun and fantastic about having 1000 followers and only 10 people gives you upvotes and only 2 gives you a comments, that's why people who buys subscriptions at YT looks funny or as looser because of stupid look when you have 100k subs and only 3-6k views per video.
People starts to think that you buying subs, and you are creating useless videos or not funny even if they so, but they don't wanna watch it.
And now I did a small post about informing my followers which participate in my SBD giveaway:|

AND GUESS WHAT HAPPEN?!
I got instantly in one minute more that 10 followers - No upvotes - No comments nothing. Also by looking at their names you can see that they are created in random way like: ,
,
ect (there is hundred of them) - All of this accounts follow more than 20 000 accounts because people works in way "Oh he followed me? That's nice I will follow him too", and that's why they have followers.
Also they follow themselves so by seeing them you can think that they do something interesting - but they have 25 rep ect., and they post random shit.
I think that somebody create this account's and offer other people from YT more views by cash, so he treats steemit as a trash bin for it.
Ask for help
I BELIEVE in Steemit platform that's why I asking
I know that somebody will come up and say: "but what's the problem - you have more followers you should be happy" And remember it: That's newbie thinking.
I'm content creator, and basically I did creating content mainly for YouTube by 3 years now for my account in my origin language and I know how it looks, how it feels if you have big number of people who follows you and only few of them really watches what you are doing, and this things happen to large group of people, because they see only numbers so they happy because subs count is growing but after few moments they starts to be aggressive ect. BECAUSE THEY DON'T DID A REAL PROGRESS. They starts to searching where is problem, why they have so many subs, but none of them is watching they work, they did hard work for them. Some of they quits after that.
Also I wanna mention that did video about this problem too:

Calling them Shadow Accounts.
Ask yourself:
Do you wanna have 10 followers who watches you, comments you and do interactions with you, or you wanna have fake 1000 followers so you can tell your parents or family that you are "Successful" ?
If you wanna choose second one, ask yourself what gonna be if you have this 1000 fake followers and you do a lot of work for steemit and nobody see it, nobody comment's it?
You see that's even if your following number is growing that's not real progress, nobody wanna to live in illusion.
That's irritates me because maybe I have now more than 230 followers now but in reality I have maybe 80? 120? Who knows how many of fake followers I have.
I also saw that fake followers comes from specific tags, when I posts something in #gaming tag there is not so much of them, but when you post article or anything in popular tags like I used for this article and similar big tags, there can be ton of them.
Just please do something.
