Why how much money your post has should be hidden to the Public

                                                               Why?

Most people only upvote posts because they are earning good money , but that isn't what steemit is for. Steemit is for liking the content which you have actually enjoyed reading and not to upvote posts which are popular so you can be one of the "cool kids" . Hiding the amount of dollars a person has earned from the post also has its negatives but the point is a good one.

Another issue is people are up voting what seems like good content before they even read it. For instance, a descent article was just published and within seconds of me refreshing the new listings it was up voted 4 times. It was a long article and there's no way anyone had time to even read it yet.

People are gaming the system and quickly trying to get the first or second vote just by glancing. I agree with the above poster, if voting results were hidden or if the votes for the first 10 minutes were all given the same weight so it wasn't a race to click, it would be better for everyone.
