vaguely related, do you remember when being "e-popular" wasn't considered as "really" being popular, much like how online friends somehow couldn't be "real" friends XD
I only have e-friends now.... mostly on MySpace.
Exactly what a crony would say? ;D
Yes. But, it is true isn't it? People have preferences for all things, content included.
I still don't look at trending at all ever
It is far better than it was.
I then figured I was never going to be popular because I don't do popular things, and everything became so much easier ;D
It is good to come to terms with it :)
For me, I am lucky because I enjoy writing what is also in a popular category, but it took a long time to differentiate myself. The problem is, I like writing in lots of categories too, and I know that no one is ever going to say - "That Taraz is a great poet!" :D For me to warrant getting automated votes on that content, I have to make sure the vast majority I write is considered valuable enough to make up for what isn't as valuable.

You never know, someone somewhere out there might be saying exactly that, just you haven't heard it yet XP
I kind of understand where you're coming from with warranting automated votes, in my case I'm generally just trying to keep up consistency and quality of work because unlike you I don't actually know why I'm getting most of the automated votes x_x
How do you value what you do? That's something I never got the hang of (even with the webdev business and commissions x_x). Also how do you work out how other people value what you do?
I'm assuming we were talking financial value seeing as we're here and talking about upvotes ^_^;
