Okay I am going to say it. Why are people upvoting content they are not viewing?
I made a post about 3 hours ago entering a contest that is running. After three hours this is what I see.
Look at that 18 upvotes but only 6 views. That bothers me that people didn't even bother to read my post. They just upvoted and didn't even look at it, likely because they think they might get a decent curation awards or something and I guess it means I must be doing something right. But it bothers me because I have to wonder if it is bots or if it is real people and if they are really that lazy that they can't open up my post and read it and upvote it if it is good and move on if it isn't. I don't want to be upvoted if people don't like my content.
I want people upvoting me because they like what I have to say. I want people to follow me because they think I am interesting, like my view on things, and like what I have to say. Because when you have followers that do that, you meet great people you click with and wonderful things can be built from those meetings. I have met too many wonderful people to mention every single person. But it saddens me that so many people are just trying to gain rewards without trying to make meaningful contributions.

But it isn't every post I have this post I made earlier in the day has had one more view than upvotes that shows me at least people opened it up even if they didn't read it.

Anyways this was on my mind and I had to get it out before going to bed. I guess I should be flattered and this might be a sign that I am arriving that people are rushing to upvote my content.
