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."
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
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:
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...
If offering my opinion and a message like that, along with the other advice I tried to give, is what you'd consider to be bullying... Something fishy is going on here.
"> 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."

Context helps.

"I had downvoted the top post today and said:"
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.
My bad. Like I said before I'm still trying to figure things out hence me deciding to write about my observations in the article above. You keep telling me something is fishy on the other hand, after I have made it clear in my previous replies to you that I'm just sharing my opinion, from a new user's perspective of which I am one. Is that not a direct attack on my work when you keep insisting that I must have been paid to write down what anyone can observe for themselves? In a way, would you not consider that a downvote? I went to your page, out of curiosity tbh because the first time you said something is fishy, being the light hearted girl I am I honestly thought it was a joke hence me saying nooo accompanied by the laughing emoji. When I got to your page however, I was fascinated by some of your work which I upvoted and from what I remember, I liked the one where I believe you were refering to one of the HFs calling it a Reginald or something. I thought you were sarcastic and I love a good sense of humour so I upvoted that and a few more. You then came back to my page and accused me of not taking enough time going through your work? I will have you know that from my first year at Uni, I proofread thesis after thesis for PHD students who trusted my reading as well as analytical skills, me a junior, and those documents were thick as you can imagine. To top it off, I did that while studying Networking and Systems admin. So reading through the commentaries about your art didn't need to take me any longer than neccesary. Then you clarified what you had meant about your first reply. Which to me its a direct attack on my honest work and I am not okay with being accused of something that I'm not guilty of. For me being observant and writing down my observations comes naturally.
We got off on the wrong foot and I did a poor job of communicating what I actually meant. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was accusing you. I was saying it gave me that vibe. In my mind, there's a difference and I'm sorry for not being able to describe this better.
When I saw the votes coming in rapidly, I assumed the votes were blind votes. That happens here sometimes. I apologize if I came to the wrong conclusion.
Please don't feel attacked. I won't makes excuses. Sometimes I suck at communicating. I rarely mince my words and speak far too bluntly for my own good. Most folks hate me when they first meet me.
As I said, I'll follow along and try to support you when I've enjoyed what I read.
I am sarcastic and majority of my work contains some form of humor, whatever I felt like experimenting with that day.
Have a nice day.
