Colorchallenges, photos, vote for vote and all that cheap shit people use to get "rich quick" pisses me off.
Lets talk about all these things and why they won't help you to climb the ladder. To all the people saying "your upvotes are only worth 2 cents". I started with no investments and I have 1k followers, 150 steem power and I write 2 posts every day. I and many others consider that very good but I am not a professional either.
However, I bet that the following things piss many people off and you should stop doing them if you want to succeed here.
Drive by Comments
Comments such as "please follow I followed you too, I will resteem your post too". These comments are copy & paste and they plain disrespectful because you are spamming the comment section of the author and you didn't read his post. People who take Steem serious hate you.
Fragile People
Yes you can downvote content you don't agree with. However, there are people who take this too far. They will flag you because they found an offensive word in your post and they will then continue to flag a lot of your posts because they hate you. They unleash their frustration on your blog. This is even more annoying then drive-by comments. It is like sitting next to a feminist group in your favorite restaurant.
Colorchallenge Posts
A legitimate excuse to post spam. Enter "Orange dildo" into Google and submit that for Orange Caturday. Thousands of people will storm to comment how beautiful that orange dildo is in the hope to get an upvote. The best thing about it: You don't need to write anything or much! Perfect for lazy people who say "a picture says more than 1000 words". Look, at least create your own fucking pictures and write 200 words below it (that just takes 1 minute in my case). This was fun to write lol.
Bots
I use @Minnowbooster. However, I highly dislike that every bot puts a fucking ugly picture on top of your comment section and other people come upvote that ugly ass goat so it stays on top. This is a damn no go. You can use "stealth upvotes" but you only get twice the profit. With other words you pay for that without them mentioning that on their website (it is also not possible over the boost button).
At least stop using big ass picture and stop upvoting your "advertisement". People don't like that.
Empty Posts
People that write 0-100 words, are you even trying? You are clearly not, and if you consider that trying you should develop some discipline because without writing more than 100 words people will label you "low-quality" if you don't have high voting power. And remember, it was taken with an Iphone 6.
