It is because you haven't attracted the attention of the "whales" yet. Basically each voter can allocate funds according to their steempower. For example I have steempower of about 3500 and can allocate $0.01, whereas a whale with a million steempower can allocate actual dollars.
Keep going, and hopefully you'll catch the eye of a whale!
Oh wooow, really? I wasn't aware of this 'whale' concept, so big thanks to you for putting me on to it.
So what your saying is, keep posting as I am, and eventually I'll get upvoted by a whale?? Haha, what a strange sentence to type.
Much love to you, alyssas!
