If i may add to this, following those ''celebrities'' except the fact that you keep making them generate money you lead steemit to become like instagram, facebook as far as it concerns the mindset and the community lvls. I get that you think following them and do whatever they do will lead into becoming like them and ''having money'' but i can say for sure that's not the case.
If you want more followers and money and in general in life to have success work hard and interact with more and more people. Just make posts that you like and you believe that add value in the platform and then just read other posts and interact with others, it's simple as that!
well said.
