What Affect Does the Voting Feature on A.c. Really Have?

Being on Associate content now for around three months consistent I have noticed so many different things with associate content. I have learned so many amazing things from such great inspiring writers that just keep me on my feet and writing away. I have also learned no matter what you always learn something new every day and to me that's such a great feeling to know your mind is always working and learning. What I did come across was so many articles that I read or comment on people aren't voting on them. When I read a persons article I always make sure to vote cause to me it's like a little boost of confidence in that persons writing. Personally I don't think the voting feature really makes any difference. It's not like those little stars are gonna make you more money or make you more popular. However I do feel they should take the voting part off since not too many people are acknowledging it and maybe instead of having the top three most commented on why not have a article from each category at the bottom. This way it gives more people a chance where you have a different taste or variety of articles to read. I enjoy all the articles on here very much. It gives me such a great feeling when I come upon a article that I know nothing about and learn so much from it. They always say that you learn something new every day no matter what you are doing or where you are. I am always brave enough to be willing to learn or create a new recipe or making something with my kids. To me writing is all about using your imagination, creativity, and your talents at what you are good at. Life is about having variety to be able to spice things up so having more than three articles at the bottom may help this, but also taking the voting feature off and maybe placing it with the best recipe of the day, best poem of the day, how to make and repair items, quote of the day, prom article, or even maybe the best volunteering article. This way it would grab more people attention and they will see how it would make a difference.
