No More SteemVoter for You!
Remember the Soup Nazi from Sienfeld?
This is how I feel today as I turn off my SteemVoter for 90% of the people I had set up on it.
Reciprocity is The Name of The Game.
I looked at my posts and saw something really odd. Most of the people I had on my SteemVoter were no longer upvoting me as well. These are the people I thought I had built relationships with over the last two years. Well, the one way street ends today. Going forward I will upvote manually via articles that appeal to me and articles that I click on via Steemit Facebook groups.
Here is the List of the People That Have Been Marked Safe for My SteemVoter.
I know the list is tiny but that is ok. I would rather save my SteemPower for articles that I enjoy and on the people who comment on my posts.

@lukestokes
@sunscape

I Know I Don't Have 50,000 Steem Power Anymore but Relationships and Reciprocation are Important to Me.
Haha, that was a great episode.
No soup for you!
I love George Costanza.
Hello @hilarski,
That's right decision you have, i fully agreed with you. always love to visit your post and Commented for your fair and supportive work.
UPVOTED
I have always been against automatic vote, if you really build relationships with other users, it implies the reading of their materials and live comments on the subject.
But, I understand that it's hard to find free time for this (every day follow updates of friends and participate in discussions). And auto-vote in a sense is an opportunity to say Hello, to express respect for your relationship. Accordingly, if you withdrew from somebody list you have lost the interest of this person to you. So your actions in this case are absolutely correct.
I am really sorry about that @hilarski. One good turn deserves another, but many dont follow that.
we expect others to behave in a same way we behave with them. But unfortunately he or she doesn't .
They Just take us for granted.
It happens with me alot.
Sometimes you leave a lot of your important things to talk with someone and while talking he or she continuously looking down in his stupid mobile.
Sometimes suppose we are working on some important issue and some one interrupts us still we give him our important time but if he is in our place he just ignores us.
When he is in good mood he talks freely if he is not he ignores even our presence.
I know this is not related directly with steemvoter, but it happens to me from a different perspective. Its great that you want to divert your attention more to people who deserve it more.
I perfectly understand how people can act atimes. I understand your feeling of being taken for granted. I can understand how hurt it must feel when you feel that others see you only as a resource and nothing more.
Kindness is giving. There are different levels of amount. It's about balance. If you consistently give & never receive back the scale is tipped in someone's "favor". At that point you stop giving so MUCH. If someone responds back with extra kindness and the scale is suddenly tipped in your area, if you respond back it is balanced. Keep in mind the commitment & intensity is the factor. It's a give & receive relationship & you should give & receive mutually acceptable amounts.
It would be a waste of my valuable upvotes that i would have used to reward highly engaging contents and good feedback than to give to others who never came to refuel me with any positive back. Thank you @hilarski for choosing to rewarding content. Its an encouragement to me and so many others who have not been noticed for sometime and hence stopped posting. I agree with you that reciprocation is as important as the relationship.
I am motivated. Thank you so much and i am sorry that happened to you.
we will continue to encourage you and follow up your publications dear @hilarski where each enjoys an equal benefit
Well, a lot of weird stuff been happening lately.
I will check your blog out and see what kind of stuff you talk about..
I am new, but I certainly reciprocate for those who take care of me.
I personally believe in manually voting. This way it is easy to return favour with justice. I have started following you just since last 2 days. It was interesting reading your posts.
There are people who believe in reaping benefit out of others trust. This is basically misusing of someones trust. With this decision of your people who were misusing your trust will get to learn a lesson.
I was surprised I was still on that list when I returned to steem after 2 or 3 months time of being away. Thank you for the support you’ve given me since I’ve started here on steem! :)
It's great to introduce us the top bloggers in your list. Definitely I'll have a look all the above mentioned steemit bloggers.. @hilarski
