I agree with you about upvoting based on pleasure rather than profit. My post is commenting on the culture and mythology that I've found here that (1) is mistaken and (2) makes posting here unpleasant.

I've been experimenting with steemvoter, autovoting various steemians, and have simply found that upvoting the small, unknown user is more profitable than voting for a well-known writer. It seemed like something worth posting.
