Thank you for posting @dumar022.

A thinking person you are.....

Heres a thought for you.....if curators are upvoting your posts...so be it....if one is becoming lazy in ones presentation...the responsibility lies with the one who is posting.

It is the individuals responsibility to produce that which comes up to one's own standards. The curator could choose not to up-vote but the quality of the work is firstly in the eye of the producer.

Yes...one could test the waters to see how low the quality would have to go before they stopped up-voting but in the end it is the producer who holds the standard for ones work....not the curator. The curator may have a standard and should hold to that standard, but that is not the issue. The producer is responsible for the quality of ones work.....is the issue.

Principle...With privilege comes responsibility.

and this principle....We cannot change others, we can only change ourselves.

Yes...it would be nice if they read it.....yes, it would be nice if the votes were real ppl......we just Steem on and please our own sense of responsibility.....and we will do fine. If you are a believer in Christ Jesus...we are to work as unto the Lord and not to men......now that changes the perspective indeed.
