As I wrote to another Steemian... it is all about numbers. Not just here in Steemit but also in our lives.
The only numbers I prefer to care about are time and my bank balance, so that I can meet my needs. As for the rest, it is not a numbers game to me.

Here on Steemit, I have found that the less you care about numbers, the votes you receive, the comments you receive, and your reputation, the better your growth. Like Nike would say, "Just do it!"
I've learned over the years never to let numbers complicate your life.

As for you and our German friend, @weisser-rabe. I don't like it.
I LOVE it!

Good luck with the contest, and thank you for the invitation!
