Wow.. Another powerful words from steemsecrets.. Thank you so much @maylyn09, you delivered the message thoroughly that it leaves an impacts to anyone who listens to it. it made me visualize and understand the what the message is trying to convey to each of the steemians..
If an upvote was so so so "free" afterall, why bother or stress to look at content; "you might as well give as many upvotes away as you want, freely", but hey there, "an upvote has a cost" and perhaps, "the bigger the account, the huger the cost".
indeed, this very simple-looking upvote could cost everything for any whale. It's not free at all.. These made me realize that being a whale comes with great power as well as greater responsibilities.
