Frankly, in the beginning I had temptation to upvote posts with 99% garanteed success. I beleive I did it a few times. I am not saying that they have been posts of bad quality. But I inclined more to profit than may be to honestly choose posts of better quality from newcomers.
Now, its not the case. The Dollar Vigilante for instance, dosen't get a vote from me unless his post is truly valuable for the community IMO.
So we all need to be honest with ourselves, If we want to get a valuable platform we must very carefully upvote articles, regardless its future revenue/success.
P.S. I consider sceptic's post a valuable opinion on the issue. However, so far its revenue is 0.05$. Something is wrong in the system)
I have also up voted things only because it will pay out, I'm sure we all have. I'm trying to stop doing it but its not easy.
I came here because of dollarvigilante and a couple others. His videos are great. The motivation for him to post quality stuff on steemit is gone because no matter what he posts it makes cash.
I agreewith you statement "So we all need to be honest with ourselves, If we want to get a valuable platform we must very carefully upvote articles, regardless its future revenue/success" very true!
Thank you for the comment and upvote. I really appreciate it.
This post was more me venting then trying to make money. I don't mind that its only at 5cents.
