So you think steemit is a family connecting platform? I don't see that on here. Looking at trending post and hot post, tells a different story. But maybe you are right and that is what is going on. People are just using their existing friends and family connects from other sites to boost them on steemit. In that case. These post aren't getting Upvoted for good content but only because it is ur family or friend. Thanks for clearing that misconception up. This makes steemit a little harder for someone like me as this is the first social media account I have had.
