Recently, I was asked to help some minnows by tipping them. The engagement level was quite high. I got one strong message from some of the minnows I really want to support.
"My content stands on it's own, could you please just Resteem my work.", said the minnow.
I have heard the arguments and I get it. I follow you, because I like your work, and I don't want to see what you are resteeming.
I am attempting to respect the balance, but I think because the UI is young, it can be more difficult than it should be for new users to get traction. My conclusion, I like to resteem. If you need to unfollow me for that, I completely understand.
Why do I think it is beneficial to help the new-users? My opinion is more eyes, more types of content (not just my type) is good for the value of Steem. There are many opposing views and many of them valid. This is the stance I have decided to take.
I love discussion and debate, so whether you agree or disagree I would like to hear your opinion.
