I just post what I want to. If people like it fine. If they comment even better. I use steemvoter. it's a way to supplement my rewards and leaves me free to post my own ideas and what interests me without getting caught up in how many votes I got for my own post. Sometimes the whales post something that I feel inclined to comment on. That's nice too. I'd say calm down. Be creative. Don't worry about a following. Enjoy and feel good about what you are doing.

I am actually calm. Just using a particular writing style to make a point. I always feel good about what I'm doing. If you're using steemvoter, use it wisely and responsibly. Some aren't, it's been like that for months, and it's going to cause more problems than they realize. Those popular bloggers get a lot of nonsense comments as well. If that starts to happen too much, people will stop responding altogether. Look at Youtube for example. It's not often you'll see the blogger actually get involved with the comments. Too much trolling, too much nonsense. It's a road we need to block now or we'll suffer the same fate.
That will be hard to do. I think the hard fork may have had that in mind. Under $500 a member cannot adjust the amount of their vote. Which means after 10 votes they're done or else their voting power goes way down. So they have to choose wisely. That kind of puts a filter on upvoting at least. Is there a way to block someone from commenting other than flagging? If there was a way to block someone then it would leave it to the discretion of the poster. Personally I think the block function on Facebook is the best feature there. :>)
I believe I saw one of the developers working on either giving those with low SP a slider or else at least warning message about voting power, so that's a step in the right direction.
You can always mute people. They can still comment on your stuff though... you just won't see it. I don't like to mute. That flag isn't permanent. People seem to take it personally, when really there's no reason to. If someone spams or trolls with a bad attitude and gets a flag, they can simply realize their mistake and make changes. Abuse of the flag never turns out good though. The next flag wars, with this added power... those will be bloody.
I was wondering how far mute went. I believe in tough love. I'd be a big fan of blocking. If I don't want to talk to someone I don't want to talk to them. Let them go somewhere else.
