I do ask for upvotes from all my friends.

I produce content that pleases me, no care in the world for the readers.

I don't get many readers, thus no critics, but I don't care much about what others have to say about my content.

I don't read many posts and thus don't post many comments.

Hmmm, I self-upvote with bots, so I share this point with you. Since I don't expect anything, I can't complain when I don't get a reward.
