When I saw your title, I thought I would drop a comment on how I hate politics and that I don't like people asking for "favor" upvotes and such.

But what you described is more like building a friendship, or a network of similar-minded people, which is a completely different story... The only story that MAKES SENSE on HIVE, and out of HIVE... The good way to build your account and a happy life... All the rest is politics, chasing big upvotes, wasting time on trying to get attention from those that don't care about your content...

I agree with you that making connections and growing together is the best way to do it! 💪
