@countzero my guess (and it is precisely that) is that @dantheman upvoted the @steemcleaners post as a way to help support steemcleaners as an enterprise. They actually do good work. Steemit would be unreadable if it weren't for them.
You should note that they did not downvote you. They just posted to let you know that you used the wrong tags.
They were wrong by the way -- i suspect they simply didnt get your metaphor (which was quite clever and very well done). They actually comb through a lot of posts every day.... sometimes they muff it.
