@bullionstackers, In this post, the part of Upvotes is really true, and sometimes this gives really unfortunate essence because, some newbies no matter how good their content is, leave upvotes sometimes they doesn't get the Encouraging words too.

We have to understand one thing and that is, earning is really vital aspect that's why we are on Steemit Platform and not on Facebook, but only focus towards upvote can cut off us from the Contributive Aspects in an Economy and also we are not developing the Organic Engagements if we only think about the upvote aspect.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
