RE: Steemit Etiquette: Is it RUDE to Leave a Comment but NOT Upvote?
I don't have the time, either, to be honest... mostly, my curiosity is piqued when I see someone with a 70-something reputation and 100K+ SP leaving lengthy and worthwhile comments, but not upvoting and I find myself wondering WHY.
I know the "micro-upvotes" are sort of silly. I know from my earliest days here that many were part of initiatives to "make everyone feel included" so some heavy hitter whale account bot votes 10,000 posts a day. Maybe I bought into it six months ago... but today? Not so much. Authentic curation bots run by actual HUMANS.... that's different.
I wonder if the second paragraph of your response sort of answers why they don't upvote? Maybe they too think it's pointless to upvote @1% and use their voting power to cast more significant >20% votes for a select group of people per day? If that's the case, I don't know why they'd bother leaving a comment. Maybe your posts are irresistable to them and they saw your post after they already cast all their votes for the day? :D
I don't know...I can only speculate. I do understand your frustration, though.
Yeah, it does become a bit of a speculation, after a while. I guess I keep coming back to my own perception of "what Steemit IS" and that is a social content platform. That being true, BE SOCIAL!
