I did all that you wrote, and my blog posts stay unread.
Including upvotes.
If I did not upvote ur prev comment, it is probably because I did not agree with it, or benefited off it.
Not everyone has sufficient SP to be able to generously spread upvotes at less than 100%.
My vote is negligible at 100% and I also did not find how to set it to less than 100%.
No, I do not use it from a smartphone, I use a PC.
