haha great picture. I wish it were as simple as rallying against them, but they have so much power because their likes are worth so much. I love the concept of having financial incentives for making good content, but it really has devolved into "like the most popular people's stuff and hope they like your stuff back". They abuse the shit out of the welcometosteemit newbies also. The "follow" system doesn't work well over here because the more people you follow, the harder it becomes to actually read everything that is being posted. Maybe something will be done to fix this turd, but I'm not banking on it. Still, thank you for your well thought out reply :)
RE: Of my 269 followers, 200+ are bots. Steemit? More like Steemingpileofshit
