For the second time today I'll be saying this, I'm only here for fun. If my article get upvoted, I guess the reader liked it. I never solicit for votes. I upvote article I like, with or without the author soliciting for it. I resteem posts I like. I just love the freedom here. The newbies are misinformed, they think it's a get rich quick scheme. So they are the upvote hunters.
They follow whales hoping for an upvote.

Anyways, with time the real steemians will remain :)
