I'm no whale, but I'm less likely to vote much on a post that already has a big reward and especially so if the big votes were bought. I can appreciate that it's hard to get exposure, but a bought vote is not a sign of quality, although the poster may have some feeling it deserves to be seen. Things are being messed up by people spending huge amounts (50 SBD+) on votes for a post. That can be enough to get them on the main trending page. To be honest, I rarely visit there as there's not generally much of interest to me. I rely on my feed as I follow a range of people and some of them re-steem cool stuff.

Anyway, dtube liked you post :)

It's obviously a lot warmer for you than here. Well below freezing today.
