Definitely no one is entitled to votes. Even if a comment is great, maybe your VP is too low to vote right then and then you don't have time to even think to come back to it the next day. It is good to be appreciative and easily delighted, rather than demanding and easily disappointed.

Thanks for spelling out your journey on here. It is both insightful and encouraging. Even though I couldn't come in at $1 STEEM, we are still pretty lucky right now at $3.30 STEEM. Wasn't it more like $8 just a couple months ago?

On a completely unrelated subject, did you once give me a link for a calculator that could tell you based on the SP you put in how much your upvote was worth? Not the ones where you put in your handle and it tells you what it is worth, but in a way that you could calculate how much STEEM you would have to buy to get an upvote worth a certain amount.
