Steemit is growing huge and it's initial members are getting huge profit but we have a huge rival where no one is caring. They are not letting new steemians increase their quality.. They are the bots and boosters.
What are they doing?
You may be unaware of that, I was also unaware of it till yesterday till I saw all of my Nepali fellow steemians making huge amount of money. Their posts were nothing more than some crap and they were making decent amount of money. I was surprised till I saw who were their upvoter's and the lists says, "randowhale" , "postpromoter" and "minnowbooster".
I joint a facebook group and saw some "Steemit Gurus" suggesting that "You must get some SBD at first and boost your post and from the money you get from boosting post you can boost your next post". And the matter of shame for the community is that it is working.
There are thousands of steemians trying to be original and getting nothing and leaving steemit because of that. And some crap who are either copying posts from somewhere or either posting some ordinary photo they took and getting huge returns from that.
Another matter of shame is that those people are even getting huge followers because of their SteemPower. Their followers want to be upvoted from him. Those people think they are doing good on steemit but they don't have any foreign people comments in their post, they don't have views in their posts. Their quality is the same from where they started.
I don't know what it is like in your country but in case of Nepal it is like a bitcoin faucets where you visit, get some money and leave. I didn't knew until someone added me in their facebook conversation and I was surprised ! They were giving their links and asking for upvotes. They had made a community where they will upvote and follow whatever their fellow steemians write. I checked most of them and almost not a single one had original content.
There were one or two gurus and when I tried to explain them this they were like, "You have less reputation and less follower than us and you are teaching us ?" Everyone believed and I was the odd one posting something original maybe it is not valuable for you but I am spending my time and my brain to increase my quality.
We must save steemit before this bots destroy us. They are ruining steemit than helping.
Thank You for reading. I maybe wrong and if I am wrong please feel free to correct me !
