People don't want to naturally downvote. Retaliation for what? Past actions? Well, stand by your actions, and show that you have grown for the better from having made them, and people will possibly forgive these "things" you fear retaliation from... if they don't,... It's maybe time to move on? As harsh as that sounds.. idk.. I've certainly said some stupid shit on here, and I haven't been hit with downbots or any of that.... Maybe I should bring up even harsher controversial topics only shared at a table with other drunks.. but then I'd have to assume my viewers are drunk too... So I think it's a hard no on that.
My top 3 controversial ideas top of my head.
- Population control SHOULD be a thing... But not how you view it from your perspective.
- People are stupid and don't think. Legit.. 100% especially in this day and age of instant gratification and impatient bordeom from a constant flow of stimulus that's purely entertainment.
- Privacy died, and noone noticed. Because a game took over.
Idk, maybe I should dig deeper.... But I try to not seek out and desire those negative intentions. What's the point? Wasted time. Now if something comes up on my feed that I disagree with on a personal value and morally wrong view level.. I'll take action , unfollow those involved, block if an option, and move on with life. If it's strait illegal, maybe dig deeper and do some investigating, who knows... But I won't be a spectator who just holds the camera watching and getting some gratification in the back of my skull and downvotes for fap material later..
But what do I know? I just did a fat ass dab of some premium thc wax and I'm stoned.... ^>^ have a beautiful day, and don't be soo paranoid. Namaste.
I think this is a UI problem. People think they have the money 100% when it hits their content via upvote. This is not true, and if we can somehow make this feel better via UI and less personal and more business, it could help. I agree, downvotes right now are as harsh as they can possibly be implemented. There is a red thumbs down button that takes money from you! Would the hell wouldnt be pissed at that xD
I once voted and commented on a post made by someone who was in a tivy with another user and then I started getting downvoted on my own posts. So I was basically getting downvoted not because of my posts but because the person didnt like the fact that I was supporting someone they were in a fight with hahah. I'm talking about that sort of retaliation.
