EN - Does people read us ? Article reading on Steemit

A question We can ask ourself when we use Steemit for the first time is:

What is this system where users are paid by votes?

I'd like to say it's Steemit, not just Steemit, but the system Steemit decided to believe in. That's exactly at this moment we are thinking about an ultimate question.

Are the people who vote reading your post?

Steemit principle is to vote for the article we liked. But it is the case for his reading ?

Does people read us ?

This is surely an important question. We can see some post with a great number of vote but is this number fair ? Steemit goal is to encourage the quality of the article, is this aim respected ?

I DO NOT JUDGE the one using this vote system, using bot, or what ever they use. This is just a mind, Are the voting one reading our article ? I am asking myself this question because my main goal is to have a reader to my articles. However will I succeed to have one ? Is it a lost cause ?
That's why I encourage everyone voting for a post to react in the comment section to prove to the author that you read what he said, or even just to give your opinion.
