RE: I Don't Upvote , Is there a PENALTY ? Am I HELPING the Steemit community or just helping MYSELF ?
seeing as the whales have invested heavily in the site, they have helped. yeah it would help more if they all upvoted besides they might be busy helping behind the scenes to. I wouldn't be comfortable with penalising people for not voting anyway as those who don't want to upvote might just upvote the first so many posts they come across without looking to see if it deserves an upvote just to meet the requirements,
I guess for myself I would like to know that someone I'm upvoting for is actually upvoting others on a regular basis, especially if they are a top earner in the community. In life I tend to always help those that help others more so than those who always ask for help but never seem to be around when help is needed.
But I do see your point, and understand your not upvoting as you do not agree, thanks for your comment.
