Numbers can be misleading. When they are presented is isolation, they do not tell the entire story.

For example, do we agree that voting on comments is good? If that is the case, then the number of different people who can be voted on is rather limited since the majority of people do not place appropriate comments. Is this considered circle jerking?

Also, spreading votes around for the sake of spreading out votes might also be counterproductive. For example, how many posts on Leofinance are related to the games that are on Hive. While some of them do embark upon the financial opportunities, many of them are nothing more than posts about the level one attained.

Finally, there are a lot of posts that are not worthy of leo votes. They are effectively designed for microblogging which, once that is released, could clean leofinance up. Nevertheless, someone writes a couple hundred words with a picture or graph isnt really worth the vote in my opinion.

We see a lot of people trying to scalp LEO by tagspamming.

So while quantity is important, so is quality. I have a feeling this all will chance with the release of projecthope.
