This is a good addition to the debate. I hope this is true across the board and not an isolated case.

I guess the other factor to take into consideration is time. I assume @abit is at least looking at some of the content he's upvoting (assuming he's not got everyone on steemvoter or a bot). On the other hand, you can rent your vote out to minnowbooster and get a good result without having to do anything. I'm not saying either is right or wrong, just pointing it out.
