This is very true. I have unfollowed people who resteem too much - especially poor posts

yes, this and over posting. followed by quality and content probably! What would you say is considered over-resteeming? Just for curiousity. I have an idea of a number I feel like is over doing it. Do you as well?

I may not be an authority, as I've only done it once - on a post I felt would help a lot of people and I also found very useful. I feel the smaller you are, the less you can afford to do it. If you aren't providing original work, and are small, you aren't helping the platform too much.

Ehh I can see what your saying a little. I don't know that resteeming something is hurting the platform though either unless your resteeming the worst posts, and if what you resteem helps other people, then I say it's probably worth it. There are lots of people with 1000 followers that resteem many times every day and they stay relevant. I try not to resteem a post more than 3 or 4 times a day though personally. I hope that is not so many resteem it annoys people!! but I have never really noticed my follower count drop. I mostly keep that number so if someone goes to my blog, they won't only see resteems.. but to not resteem ever, seems somewhat selfish to me also.. thanks for all these responses. I've wanted to know people general consensus on resteeming for a long time!
