Lol, Nice article in satirical vein. You are right - everyone was excited to see the pending payouts go up by a factor of 4-5 and went happily clicking away upvotes to spread the cheer. It happened to me too. Then this morning, I had 20% vote power left and not much to show for it. Typical hangover !! Great blog. Upvoted and followed you.

May I make a request - When you have time, please do take a look at my blog where I tried my hand at writing - a chain of thoughts on solitude - inspired by my wildlife picture instead of just putting the picture. Thanks
