in #upvote7 years ago

Noob here with a few questions. If people wanted to couldn't they just start doing upvotes for upvotes to make money on steemit? when one upvote a story and the creator gets steem is that coming out of thin air?Or when you upvote are you actually sending them some of your steem?
