Dear whatsup,

I am aware of this. So I just happened to get 40 or so upvotes on the same post that were from people who hold low value? And this is normal? Just to confirm. Thanks

Hello,

Yes, it can be normal to receive a lot of votes of low value. Someone who voted on your post could have a bot trail or a voting trail. Often it is the little accounts that are working on trying to power up. Hopefully, they will continue to follow your work and give you an upvote when they are bigger and can add more value.
Sometimes they can indicate that larger accounts will vote next for curation rewards on their smaller accounts.

I am in total disagreement entirely with this last comment @whatsup. Unless, you are forgetting (on purpose or otherwise) that a good chunk of these votes also comes from Real People who are True Readers who actually take the trouble to read the whole damn thing first before go blindly upvoting every shit around. That's what appreciative votes & engagement should be in first place. Well, at least from low value & little user accounts like mine.
