"Yes, even though, you don't earn a dollar from the myriads of redfish upvotes, these votes still aid visibility (relevance algorithm)." Is this really true? As far as I know the only way your post goes up in the ranking lists, is by its Payout value.
Another great inspirational post (btw) :) I can relate to that mentality quickly changing when being at Steemit for a (little) while, seeing how things work. It's a strange, bumpy, but loveable road xD
