Yeah, it is time consuming, but also rewarding in many ways. How else are you meant to get to know people here? Those here just for the rewards though, they don't care about the people behind the votes, as long as they get some money.

It is the spirit that kills me the most. People who could have had better and even helped others, but instead - they "did what they wanted"  and will take that to the grave. Hopefully that feels good for them.
