Commenting without leaving a vote really is a slap in the face, so please don't do that, unless you really thought the post was awful.

Anyone that gets upset because I leave a comment, but don't upvote their posts will never get another upvote from me and probably muted. That self entitled victim mentality bull shit has no place here on this platform.

No one is owed an upvote from me. I don't expect an upvote from anyone else. I comment on stuff all the time on social media sites and never upvote/like. I actually upvote people that provide a thoughtful comment on my post regardless if they upvoted me or not. Why? Because I enjoy sharing my thoughts with people and hearing their thoughts about what I wrote without any strings.

Would I be here if I didn't get any upvotes or make money of course not, but I work harder to provide better content every day. Not cry because people are commenting, but not upvoting.

With this kind of mentality, we're going to start seeing whales only vote for whales and dolphins for dolphins because it's not fair to vote for minnows when they can only give me a $0.01 upvote back.
