Like this post, easy read, makes lots of sense.
" those users who interact with authors and leave comments could very well have spent the time writing posts instead or doing something else if they never see any rewards come out of it which leads to interactivity dropping and some authors never see much comments on their post because of that."
Excellent point! I never posted anything so don’t know the game yet, but what's written in this article makes a lot of sense. Care for me to care for you (just not I follow you follow me scheme haha). On the self-voting subject I don’t really care if someone votes for himself, I'm wondering is it on the same level as "paying" for promotion, votes and other gimmicks? (liking your own Facebook posts Is lame in my opinion, I smile every time I see someone does it and there are particular personas that do it! lol
