That checkthisout comment voting kills me.
If only I receive that money, I can build a new house for myself here.
When I first joined steemit, I thought this is a place where good content gets good rewards but that was not the case.
As long as this abuse is there, we will not see a growing steemit.

And no matter how hard users(with less fame) work, especially minnows, they will never make it to the trending page(not without the vote from bots).
