If I have mislead anyone in my post, I apologize... donation/contribution to #whalepower is different from paying for the service to get upvoted. It may sounded like I got upvoted from #whalepower for the exchage of my contribution but it wasn't. Contribution is to help our curators to power up so they could give the community better support. I think the good thing about contibuting, beside powering up our curators is that you will be noticed. That will help you interact with our curators. When you interact, good comments will be upvoted. I think that's what happened :) Thanks for the mention @openparadigm and great artwork @justaboutart :)
