Some for the comment upvote other because they are just friends. They don’t search for new content.

This is so true. We keep on hearing about engagement and such and mostly nobody really searches for new people and at the same time due to friendship, people upvote blindly. I can literally give my post to a whale to publish it and i publish on his, the result will be the same, he will get over 20$ i will get at best 3-4$
