Thanks for sharing.

I also believe that downvote is necessary, but as it is currently established it is not functional.

[pharesim]

Yes they are. Didn't you realize the huge change on trending?
The people complaining (including the one who wrote this post) are exactly the ones we need them for. It works well, the only thing that could be improved is that more people start using them.

I promise you that I will meditate on your point of view.
The certainty with which you express yourself has made me doubt my initial thoughts.

I will have to put myself in another perspective.

I just wrote a post going into more detail, if you need more food for thought ;)

[juanmolina]

For example.
Why will this group of people have voted negatively on my post? What were their reasons? How did they organize to vote simultaneously if they are supposedly independent individuals? How does this benefit the platform?

As you can see. I have more questions than answers.

Sorry, I can't tell you why, I don't see a reason why I would downvote that. I understand that hurts, as they have a bit of power behind them. Your post still has a not-too-bad reward though, so keep going! Don't think about it too much, this is the internet and some people are dorks. Maybe they thought it's overrewarded, maybe it was a mistake and they thought you would have bought votes (which you didn't, or curangel wouldn't have voted), maybe they counter upvotes of specific accounts (which can be for several reasons not connected to you or your post at all), but does it really matter? You don't ask for reasons for upvotes, do you?
Embrace the mindset that nothing is yours until the payout is done, it's a lot easier to accept that way.

It's not directly beneficial, but also not bad for the platform, because the rewards are given to other authors.

Embrace the mindset that nothing is yours until the payout is done, it's a lot easier to accept that way.

I think this is the key.

Thank you very much dear friend.
