I don't believe you're new here. It would be difficult forming such strong opinions, being new, in my opinion. Most don't even know what bots are and assume those artificial rewards are genuine, and assume the producer of said content is authentic and popular, then become puzzled as to why such poor quality would be rewarded so much, when they are new.
The bidbots did nothing for you here. As a matter of fact, to me, this post looks more like a bidbot advertisment. Similar to a fake testimonial.
What got my attention was the actual curation. @slobberchops resteemed this post and since I trust that member's ability and integrity, I had a look.
I'll gladly follow your account and look forward to seeing actual content, especially if you're putting this much effort into your work. If it interests me, maybe I'll vote, if I see the post. This post is not something I want to vote for, don't take that personally. Not everyone votes for my work, all of the time. That's life. Some videos get millions of views, others get hundreds. That's the life you signed up for. Not every book becomes a NY Times Bestseller.
I saw you voting for my work, one post after another. Some of the time in between votes indicates you didn't even take the time to read what you had voted for. Honest curation is what this platform needs. I'm sure you can agree, since you want to go places.
Right here I came to share my creativity with the world by documenting my experiences. If my writing is too above you I'm not sorry. I'm grateful for that. Because my work may not be everyone's cup of tea. I will keep at it because this is my passion. I think its pretty cool and I'll admit I kinda take it as a compliment when you assume I shouldn't be technical nor understand what a bot is just because I have been here for seven days. If you read through my article properly, I'll requote myself "The reinvention of hatred on the internet is especially rampant on social media platforms and being downvoted or having an article flagged sometimes has nothing to do with content quality."
I didn't say you shouldn't be technical or be able to understand these things. It's rare though. There's a lot to learn here and usually folks are quite confused when they enter this arena. It's good that you've done some research.
Since the rewards pool is shared, it can be viewed like a tip jar. Sometimes people dip their hands in with paid votes and take way more than what was needed to accomplish their goal. I had downvoted the top post today and said:
Please don't take the downvote personally. The rewards disparity between the top slot and second highest slot was simply too high and compared to other posts making the trending page organically, it was overkill. You still have your top slot, which I knew would be the outcome after downvoting, and I've returned a tiny fraction of those rewards back to the pool we both can agree were unnecessary to be allocated here, on your post.
There'e no form of hate there.
Some folks are offering you advice. They're mentioning tribes. That's good advice. It's much like if your blog is a magazine, you'd then be placing your magazine in more locations, and being on more magazine racks would most certainly increase your odds of getting more eyes. Paid votes don't really help. This place has had a shortage of curators anyway and if more folks encourage less folks to curate, by offering them money, and paying them to not curate, that will contribute to both new and old members struggling to get noticed.
I'm here to share my creativty with the world. Its my passion and thats why I'm here. As for you suggesting I've been paid to write that article? I'll have you know its the other way round. Bullying is a part of life and ill not take it personaly. For me, getting seventy likes on my third article is a big deal. I take it I'm going in the right direction so I'll keep at it. Besides, I'm making money from different avenues that I intend on reinvesting here so you taking what I earned for reasons that don't make sense to me I think its because it wasn't meant for me. So when all is said and done. Adios.

I knew something fishy was going on here.
I didn't downvote your work. You just went on a strange downvoting spree though...

Not your post. The top trending post. The one on the trending page. If I downvoted any of your posts, you'd see me name on the list of voters. Anyone here can see who voted. They all know I didn't downvote. I'm also not going to lie on a blockchain.

Context helps.
