I have never done any major "vote-fishing" either. I have never made comments in an attempt to score a bunch of upvotes or to get larger accounts to follow me. I honestly think it's kind of lame, even more so as many of the larger accounts seems to reward that sort of behaviour. I don't like that.

I have obviously been thankful if and when I have received upvotes for my comments, but I know many other Steemians out there who has earned more by writing comments than articles, so I feel bad for them. These changes affects them in a very negative way, and that's why I try to point out things that actually might benefit them in the long haul.
