RE: Downvotes Oh Noes!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Wasn't about the content, but if people are going to throw blind/dumb downvotes around then they shouldn't be surprised if they get some back after tolerating a few. I for one curate when I downvote and fwiw I don't agree with big downvotes that curangel seems to like to cast neither, have had to counter a few of those in the past. I guess they're reasoning is hitting a few authors hard is better than many overrewarded authors soft for longer periods which I'm not a fan of as it causes more drama and unfairness than necessary.

Honestly zeroing out a single shitpost to zero is all the wake-up call I need.
Like, that's funny, we can all laugh about it.
Zeroing out a week's worth of posts all at once is just demoralizing and counterproductive.
But whatever, live and learn I guess.
Please don't be demoralized.
I hope you can check your account now, I don't think I have done any dent to your rewards :)
Someone once said to me, and I really like it
you do you, universe will do universe
The person who said that is my friend (good friend, no joke), and he countered majority of the DV.
Cheers!
I assume you must be talking about Matt?
Cool guy.
You seem interesting as well.
Which is funny because so many people make you out to be the fucking Devil.
That's what I get for fraternizing with churchgoers I guess.
I have like three reasons to be demoralized at the moment.
One of these days I'll get my shit together, eh?
But also it's weird for you to say you enjoy my content when I don't really recall you ever upvoting anything I've ever written. Accounts like @altleft and @newsflash upvote and downvote my shit all the time, which is super interesting. My good content gets a good reward and my bad content gets a bad reward. That's the goal, yeah? I haven't added up the numbers but it feels like a bit of an overall wash when looking at those two accounts. If someone upvotes me for $20 then downvotes me for $20... hard to complain.
I think at the end of the day I'm mostly annoyed at myself for not grinding out more code and figuring out how to build some real value around here. That's a 'me' problem I suppose.
Yes, because I have almost never seen anything that you have written below $50-70 range. NEVER in recent memory. Right?
@slobberchops and @meesterboom are both my close friends. I enjoy their writing a lot! I rarely can vote them, for the same reason. And they can easily farm auto-vote, but check them out. They don't!
What can I say Dude. You can easily see all this and make sense out of it. I am no Monster. I don't have any vested interest other than this little platform to thrive. I have downvoted Khal when he was farming to pay for whatsup. He stopped. I treat everyone with respect and call spade a spade.
WUT!
That means you're slightly younger than me huh?
I just missed the Pokemon craze.
One day, Pokemon on the blockchain.
Prepare to meet your doom.
Gotta catch um all.
Quite right, I'm doing very well here!
I just wish there was more stuff to do around here.
Need to be giving more users more opportunities.
Easier said than done.
Play Splinterlands.
Write codes for them.
Write codes for Splinterlands data that benefit gamers.
It's actually embarrassing how little I interact with Splinterlands considering the circumstances.
Need to get back to it and buy some more SPS as well.
Something I said?
lol. This is such a weird day.
LOL. I was trying to unmute you!
You can talk to people that you have muted?
I've never muted anyone I have no idea how it works.
Just takes posts off your feed or what?
Oh yes! Its mostly a useless feature. But it helps me a bit. All it does that it blocks the ping.
Since you write a lot (I mean you have your moments) in conversation, I had an encounter with you earlier, so to do some work, I had to mute you so that I didn't get any ping.
But I still read and looked around your stuff as I saw fit and my time permits. But you stayed muted.
Now that I am writing to you and others on this ridiculous post of yours for hundreds of minutes, it is more efficient to unmute you.
There you have it!
Enough fun for today. Got to go home!
Nothing guarantees more engagement than writing a post on downvotes.
Is it... productive engagement?
Arguable.
No such thing as bad press, I guess.
I will DV this post right before payout though. It won't be zero, not even close. I hope you are cool with it :)
Also, I will see what I can do about taskmaster. Thank you for pointing that out.
To be fair taskmaster is a bit of a tryhard.
I'd say he puts in more effort than the vast majority.
Which is why I didn't really bring it up until the name got thrown around.
Troll confirmed!
Alright that's enough excitement for one day.
Exactly!
The 'unmute' button is close to follow button, and I have a very fast mouse....which is sad, because I am only getting older and slower.
Ah well one day we'll hack the human genome and all be immortal amirite?
What could possibly go wrong?

Appreciated Acid! As you correctly said, it is not about the content, but about the normalization of rewards.
If Edicted, of all people, can say he is demoralized about rewards, I don't know what to say! He is top 10 rewarded author on hive, discounting 2 accounts of taskmaster! And null. Hope my math is right!
It's mostly the effects of autovotes like usual, not many can just say no to them by forfeiting part of the rewards or just not forcing themselves to post daily. As you've mentioned when there's also self-votes on top of top authors you really start to wonder if the focus is just the rewards there. At least when they've been here long enough to know how easily they could trail leo.voter or other curators to put their stake passively to use and distribute it wider.
Hm speaking of taskmaster... which I was going to bring up but didn't... guy has multiple accounts, posts multiple times a day, and earns more than double the reward of anyone else on the platform. And yet he doesn't get downvoted, even if he rehashes the same topic a dozen times. He gets paid out 12 times for basically the exact same content slightly rehashed. No downvotes. Ever.
All I'm saying is that there's more to it then what is being represented.
It's very obvious.
When the DV logic put forth is actually applied and analyzed on chain, we can very clearly see that information is missing. There are clearly politics involved. Hive is more of a networking platform than a blogging platform. It's all politics.
It is not demoralizing to have a shitpost downvoted to zero.
Fire a warning shot.
Haha, we all laugh.
Shit post was shit.
It's demoralizing to have an entire week's worth of posts 100% downvoted by an x4 whale with absolutely zero indication why or when it will stop. Do I have to wait a week? A month? A year? Who knows! Guess we'll find out if I don't quit! Plenty of examples of people who were providing a net gain to the platform that quit because of this exact kind demoralization and chaos. Never a dull moment.
Incorrect. I have done it. But I get your point. Yes, agree. Not enough.
Do you like to help me, please?
Again. As I said multiple times. You and I communicate well. Better than most people who says they love me :) (its a very small list, eh!)
Help you downvote?
You cray.
I have considered a system for downvotes and turning toxic people against each other.
I'm actually kind of afraid of what might happen if something like gets built.
Weapons are neutral and can be used for good or evil.
Funny how the people who designed the A-Bomb didn't actually consider it would get used.
Also I don't think I've ever been told I communicate well.
World first.
Living the dream.
I'll second that, at least - you do communicate well! :-)
You're damn right on this one.
Yes, some of these downvotes go way beyond countering any single upvote, so it does seem unjust.
