What is the point of upvoting link posts? Any bot can do it, it doesn't take effort and it doesn't contribute to the value of Steem, Steemit, or to the community as a whole. Does the community really want to encourage this?
We have a lot of new users everyday that will see this as a way to make easy money if just one out of 100 posts gets noticed. I doubt users like this will contribute to the community and rewarding them will be noticed. Others will follow and we'll see more of it than we already do!
It's hard enough to find content on steemit.com. I don't want to see users posting even just their thoughts and ideas lost in link posts. I see it is a slap in the face to those that put effort into posting (no matter the quality of their post) and are never recognized when someone puts almost zero effort into a post and makes $275.
