I think the question comes up because you very much “built your blog” by participating in closed circle voting rings who many abuse the platform, while posting excessively to earn as much of those rewards as you could. Then with the new changes there seems to a constant post of you on trending talking about how great you curate .. when you are auto-voting that which you know will get you the largest returns (including those abusing the system). Which was a concern with the new curve and something that clearly would be a topic of discussion.
So to many.. that’s not curating, and doesn’t really deserve a pat on the back for you. If you want to vote them, awesome. Much better than spamming and self voting, but it’s not really something that should equate a post on how to curate well.
So the criticism you may be receiving is due to the conversations you are starting, and then your actions are not backing up.
Yes your SP working for you can be a great benefit, but it doesn’t mean that SP is a guaranteed roi and somehow give individuals the right to abuse it to ensure they get that roi. This is something that many stake holders, including many of those “friends” of yours are having to learn as things have changed.
I’m glad you are out there voting, I love what I am seeing with new changes and I appreciate your constant positive Steem message.. but you can’t expect to put something out there which was a concern, confirm its how you are making such a great return and then be upset that people criticize it. If you don’t want criticism, don’t post about it constantly.
Things have improved greatly, but we have a long way to go and there will be bumps along the way. Finding that balance will always take some time.
