oh man sorry to hear that You have been feeling sick! I wish You feel better soon :D
Well that is something that have a lot to be talked about but at the same time it is not really worth to talk.
I see that the best thing to do is to create. Help the community grow and the creators help each other no matter getting the vote or not... because it is not public the way they select the content or the creators that get more and bigger upvotes.
And keep working on building a following that really appreciate the content You create and will be with You in the long run supporting what You upload.
