There is a LOT of inappropriate promotion happening on Steemit. For example, most vote buying/selling/trading isn't legitimate.
But curation can be done correctly, too.
For example: resteeming, commenting on, and upvoting unique high-quality posts. Another type of appropriate promotion is introducing noteworthy Steemians to your followers. I'd like to do that here.
Jonyoudyer
A guy I met soon after getting active on Steemit last December is @jonyoudyer. He's a cannabis enthusiast and grower from California, and he has a contagious enthusiasm for the STEEM blockchain. He's got skill with the plants and he's personable in private communication.
Normally he does more cannabis content than you see there right now but I encourage you to follow his page. I would say it's one of the must-watch cannabis channels on Steemit.
Here's the contents of a thoughtful gift of seeds from Jonyoudyer. I sent him some genetics as well and he should be getting them any day. Seeds are a special and meaningful gift between gardeners.
Steem OG
The nickname for this F1 hybrid strain is "Steem OG"! I'm excited to have them, and when the moment is right I'll be germinating them to see what phenotypes I got! It's like opening a pack of collectible cards but 100 times cooler.
You won't find a stronger endorsement from me than that. My follow list is short and I wouldn't recommend just anyone to you guys!
Danks again, @Jonyoudyer! Enjoy the Northern Lights #4 :)
Everybody else: Go check out his page, and stay tuned (there and here) to see the seeds grow.
