Some readers might recognize this: *Why didn't you like my post on Facebook?*
Fights have started over a simple 'ignoring' of yet another Insta food post or cute (they always are) baby pic that wasn't liked (and thus ignored?) on social media. 

What will happen with relationships once your 'bestie' signs up for Steem and tags you in every post they make (because you had drinks together and it was so much fun ha - ha - ha - look at us making funny faces!) and you don't upvote them... This ignornng them, thus not 'paying them their salary', their possible livelihood? 

Do we all have to have 'tough talks' with our friends then? To explain to them what our quality standards for *their* (your friends!) posts are? To explain to them you want to upvote @tarazkp because he creates quality posts, and think your friends' food posts are actually shitposts and therefore the 0.52$ pending payout is more than appropriate? Are we going to do this? 

Like, we are all strangers and we don't expect each others upvote, we most of the time are just grateful if we *receive* them and there's (at least amongst most ;-)) no feeling of entitlement on the upvotes we receive. But will our friends and family feel entitled to our upvote, our money, our months/years of hard work that gave us the stake to make a difference? Will they expect us to pay then a salary so they can quit their jobs? Will they say 'Why didn't you upvote me?', or 'Why did you upvote that post, I had a post around the same time as well, didn't you see it?', in the meanwhile explaining how they want to go on a well-deserved holiday next month, how rent is coming up, how the bills are already on 'reminder' status. 

And will we do it? Upvote shitposts because we feel we have to? Or will we ignore the baby pics just like we do on Facebook... Although... They are always cute...
