I care about upvotes for 3 reasons. I like showing people my memes ( hence why I post them) so upvotes mean;
1. People saw the meme ( yay)
2. People enjoyed the meme ( my work was converted into joy for others and I have proof of that).
3. If the meme didn’t get upvotes then that means that something was did wrong. ( I’m always looking for ways to improve so the lack of upvotes work as feedback on what I need to improve )
popular users; normal users; You get hundreds of upvotes? I only get ten at best! Wait, I can explain! forgotten/underrated users; me; You guys care about upvotes? Ten? My memes don't even get upvotes!
