I agree 100% with the downvote part you talked about. It has been going in the direction that I was concerned it would. While I can see the practicality in balancing upvote/downvotes, I would love to see more encouragement of content creation & expressing your authentic self without feeling fear of being downvoted to the ground. It makes people feel less valuable, which is NOT what we want here on Steem, CTP or elsewhere. When fear is created, negativity energy manifests.
What I personally do, I upvote good content & just let go of the posts that don't resonate with me. I move on. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but we have no right to force it on others just because it's not a post we aren't into. LIFT EACH OTHER UP, don't drag each other down! Ha ha, needless to say I have a strong feeling about this topic. (Pixie Stomp aka rant! LOL)
This is so important for onboarding & attracting new Steemians (as well as keeping the loyal ones who have invested their time & money in this amazing blockchain). I love Steem and CTPTalk & am here for good. So, let us all move forward & HELP one another.
Thanks for a great video, Jon & Rich. :) Pixie dust your way! 🧚♀️
Bingo!
I would love to see content creators encouraged to continue their journey. Keep creating. Keep getting better!
