"How do their successes directly affect your quality of life?"
A lot of people unfortunately live by those views in life. Feeling like if their neighbor has a bigger house and gets a better pay, they are somehow "stealing from your prosperity".

People should note that even though votes per day may not be unlimted on users, followers aren't limited and they should start following the content they like and maybe at the same time make friends for a longer time forward.

Remember this is the very beginning of the age of this blockchain. :)
