RE: Steemit, Youtube and shots fired
If the bot's go (hopefully) the only ones who will snap are the high earners and the ones who own the bots. You are proof that you can write something interesting and decent and not use a bot. I haven't looked at your payouts but this one is already at $45.53 and is only an hour old with 75 votes. If i didn't know better I would say you are using a bot lol.
about 40 of it comes from one couple who support me occasionally. I see these kinds of accounts as Patrons of the arts or sciences like in the old days. I wish it would happen more for people where quality is supported (even blindly) so it can continue to be produced. I am not saying I myself am quality but I have also seen what else is out there.
Because pretty much all of the large votes on my post are manual, I see that they must drop by and read from time to time at least. My goal is to produce content that even with a skim, people will consider voting on it and keep it consistent enough from a quality perspective that even if blind voted, it would pass inspection.
That way, i can keep producing content that I think is valuable even if the audience who benefits from the information is narrow. I push for hard work, integrity and responsibility of action. It will never be mainstream but, those who are interested, influenced, take part will hopefully be the leaders of the mainstream.
I know you will keep on producing quality content as you do now. That is why, I think, you have a lot of followers, followers who actually read your content and vote for it. What is also important is that you always answer the people who write a substantive comment. And not simply something like 'thank you', but a real answer. So people take you seriously, but you take the people who write a comment also seriously. That creates a bond and creates trust.
I see it as a development of any relationship of value, any friendship. It starts somewhere but a 'thank you' alone is impersonal and meaningless until there is a history of a relationship behind it. It is over used, much like 'sorry' or 'love' and 'hate'. Their meaning is degraded when used for trivial things.
And that is the right attitude to have. You are quality to what is out there. Also I think you can put pen to paper on what you are thinking. To write as many decent posts a day as you do you have a talent.
