Ah crap, I just accidenty upvoted you reply when I was looking to see who upvoted it. Why don't you upvote any replied to your articles? You are earning very good money on here and can afford to do it.

I'm not sure you understand the system properly, but before you go on a witch hunt, I do upvote people's replies, obviously I can't upvote every single one of them, but I upvote ones which I think bring the most amount of added value to the discussion. Obviously if i could upvote everybody I would but on steemit we have a daily upvote quota. This quota I have almost used entirely to upvote authors. It takes 1 day to recover 20% of your upvoting power. If i was to continue to vote past my daily quota, then the amount of reward i could give people would drop drastically. And, it would take several days to recover my power during which I wouldn't be able to upvote anybody. So, the best course of action is to upvote my daily quota.
Even if I am earning good money, it doesn't mean I can 'afford' to upvote everyone because that's not how the system works. If i reach my daily quota, then essentially I can't afford to keep upvoting people if I want to reward them.
Wow ... it very "sweet" of you to reply in such detail and so eloquently to this question !
Well that's informative. I guess I can do five votes a day at a 100% or 50 at 10%. I gave up trying to understand the rules months ago and I just follow authors I like and vote up articles I like. I don't vote up things when they get to the trending page but if I catch them in my feed before that I do.
The rules have changed so often that I am never sure of what I thought I knew.
It explains why my voting power has varied like the price of a low volume altcoin.
So i don't know what tool you are talking about, but it clearly isn't working.
Again, you need to understand how the system works before you go ostracising people for not upvoting.
I'm not ostracising you at all. If you are saying incorrect facts about something, I have every right to correct you. I don't even have to defend myself, because i've been more open about myself than the large majority of people on here who won't even show their faces. (and thats fine btw)
You have no reasons to explain yourself. Like you set from the onset, many especially steemians who join steemit recently, when it is much rosier dont yet understand how steemit works and tend to measure value added to the platform mostly by a blogpost and its earning, when indeed most of the value may have been done in the past, behind the scenes or have much greater potential of adding immense value in the future, plus they don't know how impactful you can be for steemit, in #cn where internet is somewhat censored. Overall, this value can't even have a price tag. If people give more time though and simply ask, they will find out more. Moreover, though it is all blockchain and bare, going to someone's wallet and ransacking it and coming out conclusively without having total facts is interferes with privacy. i am sure if some did the same to him/her, he wont love it. But this is becoming so rampant now on steemit, especially now when the price of steem is high and posts have high amounts and it looks all huge. At 7 cents, this wasnt the case!
You suggested that I do not upvote people's replies. That is incorrect.
You posted my steem power balance in response to my explanation about why voting has nothing to do with how much steem power you have. Your assumption was incorrect.
And yes, I have always had a very strong work ethic, if people are voting for me, then I feel it is my duty to continue to produce quality content, and engage with as many people as possible. Even you.
There are plenty of people on the platform who produce an incredibly large amount of quality work. None of them should have to defend themselves for having a strong work ethic.
My neighbours take care of my cats whilst I am gone, if they aren't able to, then I have trusted friends who will come stay at my place or visit everyday to look after them.
