I'm mostly in the Spanish community, and over there I've listened to the distant hoof-beats of celebration and joy over a Curie vote. However, I recognize you're right on this one. It happens within the Spanish community with a well-known group. People get their upvote, get really really excited and when the next post is done and posted, they rarely get the same numbers, if anything (and I mean anything). I think it also has to do with the quality. People that want to get voted real fast often don't put the same heart as they did on the first one, and of course, that stays there, unvoted and sad because it wasn't made with love.

I wholly agree that one must really learn how to change the perspective of our relationship with the Steemit community, as a whole. Instead of being here just for the pay, let that be a secondary reason (because we're here for the money, too). How do we do that? Simple: b, keeping the content creation in a high quality standard, and by supporting others as the flagship of our journey here. Sounds 'utopical', I know, but let's face it... The Blockchain is the land of Utopian dreams. We might as well make the most out of it.
