Ok so I've not been a Steemion for long but there's a trend I've seen on the rise that, I believe, could undermine the beauty of Steemit.
There are a number of videos and posts out there that are promoting the creation of upvote circles - a group of people following a unique tag and focussing their resources on upvoting each other's posts, regardless of any interest in the post's content or the quality of the post.
This, in my humble and potentially ignorant opinion, defeats the purpose of Steemit. I see Steemit as a place people can come to find content they find engaging and want to get involved with as well as write posts on what interests them whilst earning rewards. Could there truly be a better thing than getting paid for engaging in conversation about the things you love in life?
I fear that if more and more people become involved with purely upvoting each other for the sake of easy money then there will be less upvotes for those who have made engaging and well written posts and deserve the acknowledgement.
I don't know what your thoughts are or if I've missed the mark here. Let me know in the comments ☺️ .
