My Likes / Vote Are Vanishing

Knowing me this topic has been covered because I am never the first to notice things but... I did look - promise.

So anyway I just added some key words to this work below. It had 13 like / votes when I went in. When I submitted and went back to the image it had zero.

13 may not be a lot to some folks, but on the Nola Scale it is a lot.

Just to be sure I had not imagined it, I made some small edits to keywords and groups for 2 more images. Yes, their votes also vanished.

I have been newly reinvigorated the last few weeks, updating key words, improving descriptions and so on. How much have I lost, especially from my older images?

Will they somehow reappear? I looked back over many of my others that I recalled updating and most now have '0' votes. I may not be the greatest marketer on Earth, but the worste of it is that my energy has been focused on my best art - the ones that did have garnered some attention.

So what's up with this? Is it happening to anyone else?
