Since the HF, I've unchecked the "upvote post" box on my own posts.

I already know that my work is the greatest to ever grace the digital universe with its brilliance and insight so there's no need to add my 0.09 to the reward.  ;-)

In reality, I empathize with the people who put thought and effort into creating content here that quickly sinks into oblivion and have had to just limit my time here in order to get my VP back above 50%. I made a promise early on that I wouldn't hoard my voting power and I've tried to keep it.

The seemingly unsolvable problem is that there are people here who don't recognize the concept of "mutual aid" and seek only to skim as much as they can off the top, middle and most of the bottom with their shitty "content" and self, bot & circle jerk voting.

I note that there are some pretty visible offenders missing from @aggroed's list. I'm going to have to get some clarification form him on that.

At the very least @stellabelle, thank you for not being one of the silent people at the top here and making a public statement.
