Hi @Tonyr
It's interesting what you say, and I want to say something about that.

My language is spanish and I really effort me for translate my words, so if I'm not clear I'm sorry.
For this reason, the mayority of my comments only say: "thank you" or "I love it!", because it's really difficult for me translate my feelings and I think that "Google translator" it's not completely effective (althought I understand this post thanks that)

I'm very new here (one month) and when I started in steemit I upvoted my comments because I didn't understand how working this, later understanded that if I upvote my comments, "up" in the visibility on the post and I looked unfair. That's why I don't do that anymore.

I still upvote my posts and don't understand why is bad yet, so sorry for that.

I don't understand about bots etc. (I upvoted some for mistake)

I love stemit! For me is a new world where I can post my drawings without afraid and shame and a good excuse for practicing my drawings. I've know really great people (like you) that supports and motivates me do it better but also literally fake people looking like bots.

I don't understand how works my steempower yet, but I'll try to use it better.

Thank you for your effort support others with your contests and good comments. I think you make steemit be better! :)
