Hey! @roelandp! Since you are a witness, you probably know that when you vote for posts after their payout date - the author does not get a payout and nor do you. You seem to be spending about one half or your votes on posts past their payout day now.
Maybe you have some automated program that has gone berserk. Or is this a strategy you have along the lines of the "null" posts or "burn" posts? In either case is it highly discouraging.
And since you are a dad - perhaps you can appreciate how bad it makes me feel to see your no-value vote on my son's old post today. He is in the depths of a raging attack of ptsd symptoms right now. If he is able to rouse himself to check his steemit account and sees that someone big voted him for nothing, I'm pretty sure he will turn right around again.
I'm very perplexed by your behavoir when you seem to be a steemit booster at the same time.
I'm sorry I'm autosupporting the Art hashtag but something went wrong with my lil computer friend, who has no feelings at all and blatantly upvotes anything fed, but it got out of sync. If you see what i mean.
It has been fixed now. There was definitely no bad intentions in this at all.
I understand you are in a dire situation, to say the least, and I am sorry this bot behaviour can have caused any misinterpretations of my intentions of supporting the art hashtag actually.
thanks for understanding, roeland
Thank you so much for the reply and explanation. I'm very glad to hear this is a bot-gone-wild problem and not intentional. Thank you for your good wishes and recent upvotes. I am carrying on as best I can now.
