Haha, I am normally not making these self-promotional posts but I want more user activity on my blog! There was a time when I invested heavily in upvote bots when people came to comment here. Since I stopped that entirely things have changed drastically to
the good, the bad and the ugly.
The Good
The good is that I have a much better feeling about what I am doing here. Even without the high SBD price I would not use them anymore. I know, I was a big fan and talked about them a lot. But I think the general feeling about my work on the Steem blockchain is now more sincere and true to myself.

I know it is not perfect and that I need to improve the animation and maybe write scripts before I record but it is pretty cool as it is and 100% unique. So I deserve some love (or laugh). ;-)
Nothing comes for free in life so I hereby shout out that I upvote (nearly) all your first level comments. Not that I didn't do that before already but sometimes you have to put the dog's nose in his own poo to make it aware of its mistake (don't do that to your dog, please!). I am upvoting regularly not just good comments but all comments that are not boring and generic (you know the type I am talking about). My upvote is - mostly thanks to
I will burn a few percent of my voting power every day just on comments on my active posts (not older than two days, I don't want you to farm comment upvotes by commenting on all I got). Of course an upvote from you is very welcome but not mandatory. Most of my remaining voting power will go to the
