RE: Why I am being VERY intentional about my upvotes and why you should probably be, too

in #steemit7 years ago

I haven't read your other post yet - but I will. I agree with what you are saying here. One thing that really bothers me is the "mining" bots. I would much rather see upvoting being done by real people who are actually reading the posts, rather than having things being upvoted by a program. I think that one thing would possibly help to ensure only good quality content is being curated. But, I am sure that a lot of people would probably disagree - especially the ones who are mining. I've also seen a lot of new users asking for "follow for follow" - and I don't know if they know or even care about that potentially diluting the quality of the platform. I only follow/like people/posts that are interesting to me. I also have had to unfollow a few people who have overused the "share" button. I believe its like most things - people are going to get out of it what they put in. If they put in the time and effort (and care & friendship) they will get that back, and will be able to sort through all the other "noise". Thanks for this conversation!
