DO NOT WASTE AN UPVOTE ON THIS ARTICLE. Your thoughts are more appreciated for the purpose of this posting.
I have only been on Steemit for about a month and a half now, but I have noticed a few things. I have wriiten my share of flops that when I look back on them I have to admit I would not upvote if given that opportunity myself. However I have been fortunate to have written some successful pieces of work.
What I have noticed is that no matter whether I post a flop or a good article that receives a lot of votes, only about 6 of my followers will ever send me an upvote.
Now I completely understand the diminishing return thing on upvoting. I myself try to look through my feed everyday and pick what I like best from my followers and then begin upvoting until I notice that my upvotes begin to lose their mojo. So I figure that if everyone is doing that, I must have a bunch of followers that are never interested in anything I do. I wonder then why they are following me at all. I also wonder that when articles I write that are popular get upvoted by lots of people that do not follow me at all (sometimes as much as 98% of the total vote) what good are my followers? Am I missing something here? I would humbly appreciate any insight you may offer. Thanks in advance.
