Ohhhh right! I was wondering why I hardly got any votes. The autovotes do keep me here and I try to earn them and give back to platform in various ways ...so yeah, if they disappeared for good not sure I'd have the heart to keep going especially if I don't get comments either! Does feel like the early days.
I think a lot of people feel that way which is too bad, but it just seems to be the way it is.
