What's the incentive? You've given me no reason to upvote other than for your own pleasure. The purpose of an upvote is not just to make someone feel better about themselves or even just to enrich the person receiving the upvote. In my opinion, the upvote is for telling someone that their content is worth reading by the populace. It doesn't matter to me that your post will earn you $0.00 Perhaps your reputation is down because you haven't posted anything worthy of an upvote and this post doesn't make me want to go look at your other posts to find out, sadly enough...
