That's another way of looking at it and I appreciate your opinion. I won't negate it because it came from a place of openness and generosity.

My point of view was based on generosity (or the lack of it) too. If I look at it the way you've said, those upvotes are upvotes and they should mean a lot. Thanks for adding your opinion. Readers will have more to choose from and I will be happy if they go with your way of thinking.
