Oh the hypocrisy! Why bother analysing and questioning Erins support base? You can vote up comments on your page, as you quite clearly do, however I am not allowed to do the same? See the irony? I vote up Erins page and her comments because I want her to do well in the early stages of her Steemit Journey and she is my friend. Activity and participation can be rewarded in many ways. I have encouraged four friends to sign up to Steemit in the last few months who are now active and I support them all. That is what friends do right? I also support those who visit my page just as I am sure you do. What goes around comes around right and yes we can do what we want with our votes and what you deem responsible and fair is relative to your perspective and intent. I choose to give out my SP, I support good deserving people, I support my mates and I also support my community just as I imagine you do here on your page. I wish you luck with that journey of sincerity and sharing as that is the entire point of Steemit.  Just my opinion.
