I have just been scrolling through my last weeks post and the sad thing is I haven't made near €5 a post, its a bit of a worry.
Its sad things have got this bad on here where we are all looking for votes and readers. I would be less worried if I didn't put the work in, I do. Like many others on hear who work hard they dont see the rewards.
What I dont like is, Some have put me on there bots list, this is not a compliment -its an insult that you cant be bothered to read my posts and vote every post I write with a tiny amount, doesnt matter how good it is
I have a few dependable readers who I see all the time and I appreciate them but some just dont want to know. put on a bot list because they cant be bothered to read your posts ITS HURTFUL
Then I think to myself WHY ARE YOU WRITING THIS AS THEY STILL WONT READ IT
Turn your bots off, start interacting with people again, be the great community this place had before the bots took over.
Thank you son-of-satire
Thank you @artedellavita
YOu could also try to see it in a different light!
Not all users who use a vote bot do it because they can't be bothered to read your post... They might do it because they really enjoy your posts and they don't always have the time to read and or reply! With using the votebot they can still reward you with something .... Of course this might be different for many But this is how I use my votelist on the bot. I only have like ten names on that list atm because I shift names around every now and then. So, in my eyes and IMHO it's not always an insult! There might be something from a good heart in it!
Have a marvelous day and if you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope it will be a great day for you!

To add to what you said. Some of those who have allot of SP simply don't have enough time to read through hundreds of posts and equally spread their voting power. Instead , they put autovoting on users that they think that they bring value to this community. Don't see anything bad in it.
I suppose thats one way of looking at it. Thank you :)
I'm happy to go on anyone's bot list if vacancies are opening up ;)
('Matt' has two 'T's)
LOL!
The point I was tryng to make was, why bother putting any effort into writinf a post when a simple meme gets the same reaction. I dont have the motivation anymore to put in the hard work of writing a good post as it wont get read. No I dont celebrate thanksgiving, all the very best to you :)
With just nearly a week here in Steemit, I am slowly getting discouraged by not getting enough upvotes, but I guess this is how the community works, so I just need to work my way there.
I constantly try to figure out how to great value, but with no users reading it, they'll never know if it's of great value or not.
Anyway, I am just sharing my thoughts as well. :)
Comment insightfully on other people's posts until you have a couple hundred followers.
Blogging before then will just burn you out.
Thanks for this piece of advice. That's actually quite sensible enough. I guess I have to preserve my ideas and start building connections first in the community. :)
You have the disadvantage of being not so popular, too :)
Amen. Tell it like it is...upvoted support..
Thank you :)
The cannabis community here on steemit is great especially compared to other tags. Unlike most posts, when I post about cannabis, I usually get more views than upvotes, and I always have a bunch of real comments that actually spawn conversations. Not big by payouts by any means but a lot of real interaction.
I havent got a clue about Cannabis, the interaction is what its all about :)
Follow my blog and you can learn allllll about it :)
made near €5 a post and you made a lot of respect
Some :)
We all crave and need attention...
Steemit needs a way to attract more readers. Our friend, @mattclarke suggested a good revision to achieve that, or at least move in that direction.
I feel your pain, and share it as well, but (like Matt, with two "T"s), I am also thankful for the 'bots that vote for me and provide some $$$Steem and $$$SBD... And also, very happy as well, for the faithful followers who interact with my posts. ;)
😄😇😄
I like to read your posts, I honestly feel guilty for them to vote and not reading, I still have to get my head around how all this blogging stuff works as still a newbie to it all. :)
I enjoy your posts as well, my friend, though I don't always have time to read them all...
We need more reader/voter/curators here on Steemit. But I'm happy for what's here already, and hope it will all work itself out. It is an excellent technology with lots of potential.
I totally agree but would like a bot more interaction, I do see that the site goes up and down, here's hoping the good times make a pleasant return :)
i am not bot :D
I didnt say you were :)
i know hehehehe nice post!
Less of the cheek then lol :D
Got you. That's why I hesitated to post long form contents here.
Its not worth it at the moment
