oh and i somehow missed your post about the football from last week. I read it now and I think that the downvotes are somehow attached to whatever appreciator is. I don't know who or what this is, but i received a massive upvote from the same person/group (appreciator) a few days ago, and large accounts came out of the woodwork to downvote in almost the precise amount of the appreciator upvote. I think there is an internal war going on there that I don't know the details of.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Hmmm, that is interesting. @steevc might have some input on that because I know he works with @steemflagrewards and he might know the background on that account.
I don't know who runs appreciator. There is an issue that it may not be obvious if a big vote was paid for or not and some people may assume the worst. I make my own decisions on what to downvote. If it is obvious someone is buying multiple votes, but gets no engagement then I am likely to downvote. I can't speak for the behaviour of the big accounts. I hope they are not just stomping on the little guys.
