I don't think you were buying people's votes... I didn't know about the contest at all, so when you told me about it, I tried checking it out... I read the vision and goals of Steemchurch, so I decided to vote for it... :) If I wasn't touched or interested, I wouldn't really vote even if you informed me through memo... I hope that even though you didn't win, a lot of Steemians would extend a helping hand.. I knew of some Venezuelan Steemia here who are great artists and share the same hobby with me. :) I wish you all the best. God bless... 😁
