Question: Why Am I 'Returning' Votes???
**These last couple of days, it seems my account votes at 100% on posts published by people who have upvoted mine. I could use some help figuring out why this happens...**

<sub>[Source](https://steemworld.org)</sub></center>

Chances are there's a simple explanation for this... but I have no idea what it could be.
As you can see in the screenshot above, my account has been automatically sending out 100% votes in return for an upvote on my post.

But that's not all...

<center>![unknown votes.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/simplymike/uOhhk67c-unknown20votes.jpg)
<sub>[Source](https://steemworld.org)</sub></center>

As you can see, it also happens the other way around.

But maybe the weirdest part is that I do not know who these people are. I did not vote on these posts manually, nor do I have them set on autovote. 
I only follow the @trufflepig curation trail, and neither of these posts have been upvoted by that account.

It wouldn't surprise me if I am missing something that's fairly easy to explain.
I would be very grateful if someone could shine a little light on this...

<br>

***EDIT:** Problem solved. It appears I once enrolled myself in the [Steem-Bounty Vote Club](https://steem-bounty.com/services) and forgot all about it. Thanks, @bluemist!*

Thanks, @bluemist
I didn't even know (= I forgot) that I was a member of that Vote Club. 
Must be I set it up months ago.
I wonder why I never noticed it before, though...

Weird... I upvoted yours... but you're already set me up on your auto-vote, no chance for 100% πŸ˜‚ I hope someone could explained about these too... is this related to steemmonsters? The account seems like bots

Hi @simplymike, 
It's pretty been long we bummed on each other. I guess that we've really been busy with work then.  Your question to me looked kind of rhetorical but the answers is right here.  

I'm concerned not in the answer though but would rather enjoy your creativity in writing. You may take it for a complement. But I really love the way you present your opinion or view via your post or comment. It's always interwoven with suspense which is on it's own the soul of art and writing. 

Most time I just wish I could be a clone of you in my writing, yeah, at least for a day.

@zekepickleman · 
That is a weird one indeed. 

I have only manually curated so I haven’t seen any of this weirdness. With all the API changes (that knocked many services and dapps down) you can certainly imagine the hard fork could make them behave strangely. 

Can you see if anyone else on that curation trail is having issues?
