Yeah. That's for certain. I was thinking about that the other day--250 followers took an age on other sites, and here, it's two months. And here, it actually means something, too.

I really think the long game is the only one that works here. Yes, you can make a couple bucks in a hurry by upvoting yourself and spamming your own feed, but over time that's a losing tactic. Those that do this the right way need to be patient, especially when it looks like in the short term, we're getting hosed.
