"A trust score."
I reward you ZERO trust points for underlining your comments which are only there because any time someone purchases your Snake Oil Votes, a bot sends a comment over to that member's blog under your name. In other words, you're a spammer. I don't trust spammers. I don't trust Snake Oil salesmen either.
Also
When you purchase votes for yourself, like you usually do, that raises your reputation. In other words, you bought your reputation.
You bought a trophy that says, "World's Greatest Bowler," even though you've never bowled a game in your life. Now you're sitting here polishing your trophy and acting like you earned the goddamn thing for being a good bowler.
Now your trust points are in the negative.
Better luck next time.
I should also add: This post of yours is an infomercial(paid programming) sitting at the top of a trending page. This post doesn't belong at the top of a trending page, it belongs in the promoted tab. The trending tab is for deserving content receiving high ratings, not advertisements. The moment you bought the votes, you turned this post into a promotion. You're misleading people into thinking this post is here because it is popular.
This is not how you build trust. It's deceitful superficial nonsense.
If everyone agreed with everything I did, this world would be unbearably boring!
I'm not disagreeing with anything. I'm simply pointing out what you're doing, because you neglected to do that yourself.
An observation generally includes what was done without judgement. For example, I see @buildawhale voted on your post. That is an observation.
A judgement or position is one that can be debated or argued with including whether what is observed was right or wrong. Labeling as a spammer for buying snake oil votes is one way of looking at it. Another is advertising what is a valuable project for our blockchain in my opinion using the established methods for marketing a post here. Neither position contains the whole truth and both can be argued with. You have a valid point as do I. I both agree with you and disagree with you.
You might enjoy the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg as I did because it helps separate what we see/observe from what we think of it which is a very valuable skill!
GO DEVS!
