Nice comment, but I wonder why your self-vote rate is over 60 %!? Don't you think it would be better to upvote articles of other users as well, in case you like them (and maybe also get some upvotes in return)? That's the way Steemit was designed to work originally ...
Frankly I wonder why it's not higher. I don't upvote articles I don't like and I don't really read a lot of posts here. I want to follow the basis on which it was built but voting system sucks here n you know that too and knowing that people vote for just the ones they know, it makes it shitty and shittier, so I might as well atleast get a few coins for myself for atleast my daily basic expenses. I am done using bots and losing money to gain exposure. I don't expect you to understand but
It's on you to decide if your self-vote is worth more or an upvote from my side. As you can see, many people who are commenting here earned quite some cents: I upvoted them all, because they upvoted me, too, even if it was just a symbolic gesture. You may test that 'mechanism' in one of my following articles. :)
Frankly I respect you for that and thank you on everyones behalf for doing so, but not everyone here is so generous to give away so much. I appreciate that I really do, but you can't expect me to comment on someone's post without liking it right? Not gonna feed them bullshit lies just to a small petty upvote from them. Do you get what I mean?
I would never expect anybody to upvote my articles in case he doesn't like them. However, if he likes them, then I see no reason not to upvote them as well (that's how Steemit is designed to work).
And of course in general you shouldn't upvote articles you don't like just to get upvotes in return. Instead of that just upvote articles which you like ... then you can enjoy receiving upvotes in return without feeling 'guilty'. :-)
Spending 5hrs to make an article just to realise that you are not getting shit from it, sucks. It's fine if it's a day or 2 but everyday same bullshit is too much to handle. Especially when some really bad articles are stealing the spotlight coz they have their "rich" friends voting for them irrespective of how shitty their article is.
Why are you here if it all sucks?
I agree that old users are having a big advantage, they have money, they have connections. The difference of the vote impact between them and new users is too high, but you have have the choice: keep complaining about injustice or work hard and try to improve your situation step by step.
Why am I here? Coz I believe that steemit can make a difference and it has the potential to do so. Its not easy to make money as an artist living in a 3rd world country. I am here coz I am trying hard to get back on foot nothing more! But I do ask myself that often, try hard and carry a boulder on my shoulder and work without getting paid till the good day comes or just stop hoping that good days will come as my boat has already sailed n give up this undying battle. Its a constant tug off war I only wish everyone understood that. I am not gonna spend my time sitting here telling everyone about it coz of course my opinions don't matter coz I ain't rich and I ain't a chick lol.
... and coz you use to upvote yourself only ... I am convinced that in the long run you could be more successful when upvoting other users more often (you will find out soon who returns your votes and who doesn't ...) but OK, it's on you to believe me or not. :)
Thank you for replying so patiently. I wasn't referring to your articles, I was talking about it in general. I do upvote most of the ones I like but I dint for a while now coz I was busy working towards getting into a uni
