For instance, my first couple of weeks on Steemit, was spent voting, pretty much exactly like I vote for something on Facebook. If I liked it I voted for it, even if the thing I liked was a comment. But then I realised, if you constantly vote on comments, that aren't getting any other votes, then you're effecting your influence, and therefore future rewards in a negative way.

...and that should change !!! That's on steemit's negatives!
