Being stringy in upvoting is the only way to get rid of those low effort content, getting some numbers on the side of the dollar sign. We dedicate hours to create one good post, while they’re already making $100 from posting 5 articles copied somewhere, or from uploading photos of what they had for lunch or dinner.

The very essence of upvoting is to reward Steemians like us, who are working so hard to provide useful information that can help our community. The dollar sign reminds us of our own value, and who should we value in return. My two cents.
