RE: Comments, Views and Votes...????
It's down to bots. Yesterday I set up an account with Steem Voter, and allocated 10 people that I would choose to vote for automatically. This would ensure I don't miss any curation rewards (on people I would vote for anyway I might add).
You were one of the people I chose as an automatic vote recipient as I like your music. This post was auto-voted before I read it. Your stats were 2 votes / 1 view at the time. I'm sure a lot of people use Steem Voter to auto-vote the whales to then get their share of the rewards. It does mean that any old crap posted by a whale can get to the top of the trending lists, and will just multiply their earnings too...
Hey @grizzle, firstly thats very kind of you, thank you. I kind of guessed it may be something to do with bots or a financial angle of somesort. I guess its difficult to separate the rewards side form the ocntent side, but as you right say, it can make for dubious post rewards.
Ultimately I suppose Its a matter of personal discernment. At least now I have a better understanding. cheers.
