Well, I am sorry for the misreading, English is not my mother tongue.
Anyway, pictures lure people here to upvote without reading anything. That was what I wanted to point out. Chceck the comments of the others here. I guess all of them voted but none of them read, otherwise they would reacted in a similar way you did.
People usually mind the curating reward and vote for posts that should be popular instead for post that are actually valuable.
In such conditions the content doesn't really matter and Steemit loses its drive. It's more Facebookish, not what Steemit was intended to be.
I agree there are some definite issues with the way their curator rewards work. Also it's obvious I am the only one that read your post. You should try one with a selfie holding a sign that says "Hello Steemit! I'm Godfish! (date of day posted). You might just be surprised! I know about 70% of the people that replied to me probably didn't read it on my post but the people with lots of voting power do for sure! Again welcome, I'm also trying to learn the ropes here!
I have never made a selfie and I am not about to begin with it for a couple of bucks :) thank you for the suggestion anyway, I am sure it would work.
This post met my expectations regarding the (not)reading, that was its purpose. Plus the text was ment for my Czech mates mainly, to whom I dedicated even the first introduce myself post that was in Czech only. They deserve to know me better whilst Steemit mainly don't give a minute or two to finish reading.
Anyway, as this post was true, my offer to take you or anybody else around in Prague is still on. I will probably have bought the monocycle by the time you arrive :)
