Just watched on Youtube. Great video, nice to hear your thoughts.
Someone like yourself who gives away a lot in prizes and build community through the contests you run should upvote your stuffas you circulate it back into the community.
Someone who is just spam posting and upvoting their own comments to take as much as they can for personal gain should maybe rethink what they are doing.
And no, you did not bore me. I am actually following with interest this issue as one user is really abusing the system and is garnering a fair bit of attention from a couple of other whales. The fallout will be interesting to watch.
I myself don't upvote, haven't for almost a month, as I prefer to share my limited votes to other minnows who have not many or no votes on their stuff. I choose posts which obviously took a bit of work, are good quality and interesting and vote, comment and re-steem to show them someone has paid attention. Nothing worse than wondering if anyone cares about all the work you have put into a post. My vote might only be worth 1c at the moment, but I think it is more important just to re-assure people their efforts are not just just floating through the system and no-one is appreciating them. There is a great post I resteemed last night, which had none on it when I hit it and now has a few of my followers upvoting it, I hope that it makes a difference to the user.
Anyway, enough of my thoughts, but it is great to hear yours.
Amen to that. While it is permissible many would not consider it to be a good choice.
