RE: Verification Post (do not upvote, do not resteem)
I am sure most of the votes are either followers who do not read or bot votes. It is a great example of why the focus on quality content only applies to Minnows.
Some of the upvotes are actually coming from people I'm contacting too though. I've just not had the chance to update the reply list as I send out the emails.
It's a free block chain platform. I have no issue with you getting votes, it just shows exactly why the new users are frustrated with being told over and over again to improve their content. They can receive 50 votes and make a few pennies. You make a post out of an internal message, (because you likely have no other way to communicate it) and receive $90. I am not criticizing you, I am just using this as an example of why new user retention is low and frustration is high. Please don't take this as an attack on you or your post.
@whatsup Just posted a message to you in your blog...

I can totally understand the frustration. No offense taken. You're right i don't really have another way of verifying myself especially on these contacts since they're tied to a steem related project.
BTW check my track record, the vast majority of my posts make a few dollars max, but I'm grateful for every penny.
I wasn't following you before but I am now. I hope you'll follow @hazin and take part in that project too when it announces.
Thank you for not taking it personally, and I want you and others to be as successful as possible. I would be happy to hear all of your posts are profitable.
I will follow @hazin and I am interested in everyone having as much success as possible.
I am sure I will see you around SteemIt! :)
I understand your frustration. As a person that 'voted' on this post, I've posted a response here - that might give a bit of context behind the voting practices of myself and other...

Is not a attack on you or your post. It is really funny! We now know who vote without seeing the contents. "it just shows exactly why the new users are frustrated" said @whatsup.
And I believe that such behavior undermines the credibility of the site. It is clear : "do not upvote".
