I understand why you proposed hiding the vote temporarily. And I explained why that is a bad idea. Also, you use the phrase "great content". But according to WHOM?? The value of something can only be judged by the extent to which it is appreciated by people. If the content YOU consider "great" is not getting attention, then maybe it's actually not so great. Or maybe the audience that would agree with you and appreciate the same content you do are not on this platform. In that case, you have 2 options. Either 1) adjust your concept of what "great" is. Or 2) help attract people to this platform who share an appreciation for the same content as you do.

I would recommend #2. But since that won't happen overnight, I recommend you give up on the idea of blogging for now. Concentrate on curating. And make thoughtful comments when appropriate. Through these efforts, you can slowly build your reputation and your steem power. And you can also slowly build a following. Later you can try posting to your blog again and see if you get a little more traction than before. Keep repeating this process. And keep working on your writing skills along the way. You can't expect to be an overnight success. That's just not realistic for most people. Anyway, good luck!
