I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. If you're not getting the upvotes you'd like maybe you need to be a better follower.

The polite thing to do on Steemit is to upvote a post that you comment on. If it's worth commenting, it's worth upvoting.

It's easy to keep up with who has commented, too.

And if it's a sincere comment, and they have upvoted your post, it's polite to upvote the comment. The menu that drops down when you click on your picture has an option that says REPLIES. That's where you check to see who has left you comments.

Asking for an upvote in someone's comments is considered spamming. Resist the urge.

resteeming is free

if you use the little circle arrow at the bottom of the post in the left of the right hand section. Everyone likes to be resteemed.

That's it. Go feed the plankton and find some quality followers that know when to upvote!
