Yeah, maybe this post is crap compared to many others that may be 3k words long, but no one is rewarding Marky because his content is "exceptional" or anything like that.

Most of these votes are relationships that have been built over months, even years.

It's not like everyone with a good stake has unified so that Marky always has 40-50 USD in rewards just because, lol.

Not to mention the work he's theoretically doing as a witness, I don't think he's top 20 for nothing.

Most users like Marky are usually doing behind the scenes work that makes them special, and the other people with stake trust that work and vote his posts to reward all that effort.

What are you doing for the blockchain?

Basically you are a user like me, but in a crappy version buddy.
