Why am I not getting very many votes or comments?
Loads of questions. I'm still learning and have posted every day for the last twelve days yet I'm not getting many votes or comments.
Is there a particular way to use tags and images?
Every image but two that I have posted were photo's I have taken using my phone. Maybe I'm using the tags and or the images incorrectly. I will review my used tags and maybe consolidate and update them.
Does the following/followed people count for anything?
I am following twenty people and am being followed by twenty people. I'm not sure if they are rtf follow backs or what but I will be looking into that this weekend.
I'm not big on looking at the blockchain code because I do not understand code but wanted to see what I could learn by looking. It is interesting to say the least.
I have been seeing posts get into double and tripple digits and have also taken note of their pending payouts. Take these three for example.
After one hour this post had 632 votes and 41.86 pending payout.

How is this possible? The highest vote article has the lowest pending payout. These are just examples of some of the numbers I have seen vary in extremes. Please, someone explain how this is possible.
I do not completely understand bots and how they may or may not be helpful but I want to at least try and wait to get my thirty day badge November 30th before I give them a try if they are even needed. Maybe between now and then I will have found a way to inflate my numbers without having to resort to artificiality. Something I detest completely as it gives personal power away. I'm a big believer in personal responsibility. Take care of you and yours.
