I don't get upvotes because I don't play the positive psychology game by posting "every crypto is going to the moon ! always ! ". It's probably because I just tell the truth, and people don't like to hear that.
Also, of my 120 or so followers, only 4 of them are real people, the rest are just spammy bot accounts :-(
I'm flattered you think I'm a good writer, but you probably haven't read any of my 'rant' posts yet like the ones I do with my nemesis @bitbrain !! Let's just say we have lively (but good) discussions. As a taste of our long running battles, scroll down to the comments section on these, you might change your mind about me :-)

Not having to follow the pack does not mean you will not earn big. I remember a fellow steemian by the name @pawsdog who went against the pack and got a ton more upvotes because of that. He spoke out against @haejin and others who rape the reward pool and got upvotes for it.
Bottom line is be yourself and sooner or later you will be rewarded for your work. I actually read some of your comments between @bitbrain. You are one of the few people on here that actually spends the time to respond to comments even though they likely will not earn you much.
Feel like you are using steemit as it is so keep up the good work. Thanks.
@bitbrain and I often write longer comments below our posts than we do in the actual posts ! And no-one ever reads them but us, lolol :-)
