I get what you are saying, and there are a lot of people out there whining about not getting votes, and begging people to notice them - when in reality, their posts just suck. There is a lot of that.

That is not what I am talking about here though.

There are a lot of my friends stuff that I won't vote on because I think it is bad. I don't even mind that my own content isn't getting a lot of votes, because I know it is not that amazing.

I am not trying to whine about my lack of attention or beg for up-votes for my friends. I purposely did not direct anyone to my friends, because that is not the point of this letter. There are way more people out there just like the people I know, that are not getting recognized.

I really feel that there is a larger issue here that the community needs to address.

There are actually a lot of good content producers out there right now that are getting overlooked.

If they keep getting overlooked, they are going to leave.
