Hi @swissclive, This is a very useful post, I have to resteem it again.
I've said a number of times that INTERACTION is the secret of steemit community.
If someone write a lot of good posts but no one read them, they may incur in excessive waste of time.
I agree with you, first of all, newcomers may try to write good comments strictly related to posts content. This will help to increase their followers numbers and to take some upvotes.
When the followers number start to grow, they can start to write some interesting posts to see how it's going.
Everyone can find their way on steemit if they write well. It just takes time and effort.
Not everyone wants to work hard to get paid for all their effort. It's easier to ask for upvote but this is the virtue of losers.
Me, you and other thousands of users worked hard to become someone and this is the only way to grow in steemit community.
