I did a post the other day on the Maldives and you are totally right. As i have over 400 followers you would expect people to least have a look. I received 13 votes and quite a few comments but these comments were from people that were not following me. Makes you wonder
I know, I looked this morning and have 910 followers. I'm lucky to get 35 views and keep getting the "Good story... don't forget to upvote and follow me." I'm starting to flag them. Maybe they'll go away... and I want to see your piece on the maldives- I missed it (never too late for an upvote)
