Truely this is a very sensitive topic but all the same I do not believe in buying votes and even though I do not believe in it. Ever since I got into steemit I have been blessed to find you and  @donkeypong really supportive of my post and for that I told myself that the least I can do is to continue working very hard to post useful and beneficial content for everyone's good here and beyond.

I see the idea of buying votes kinda illegal and I feel ashamed of it somehow because my view about steemit at my first point of contact was a community of intergrity and so with buying votes I was kind of put off, thus as a result has increased the amount of scammers.

Scammers capitalize on vote buying and rip people off their hard earned sbd... to me this is sad and bad.

Although just like the real world word everyone wants to be seen and so people go extra mile can not be over emphasized. It is true that there are still people who are good that are still struggling.

Hence, I  still implore that whales, dolpins and people who are in position to help the young and upcoming to do so.

I would therefore advise that apart from the upvotes, steemit is a place where lives can be changed through meaningful contents by individual.  Information is power, which is why everyone should put it upon himself to try and post quality content. For that sake, the upvotes will come. 

Please lets nit loss essence of the reasons why we are here and be original. I wish us all a happy and enjoyable stay here while steeming and enriching each other through true and quality contents.

Thank you to @kevinwong and @donkeypong for your supports and love for steemians. Much appreciated.
