RE: Curangel drops the sword

Your support of me is the largest support I get! Thank you so much.

Downvoting, however much good it does in some cases, does much harm in others. Several of the Hive accounts that I valued very highly have left because of capricious downvoting and inappropriate chastisement.

Thank you for discontinuing that practice. It is violent in nature.

It is violent in nature.

Organized groups are taking 10 times of what we could downvote out of the reward pool. Of course people will cry violence when their money cow doesn't work any more. The rewards are limited though, and these people are the reason why your, and other small accounts', support is so small.

It's sad to see how even users who provide real valuable content that is directly affected by the bad behaviours in its valuation follow the narrative of the entitled.

I'm kind of interested which accounts you miss, and what happened to them that made them give up completely. Are you on Discord?

Thank you for your witness vote!

Thank you for discussing this with me!

I understand the use of downvoting to stop the rewards pools being drained, but, unfortunately, many a small account has had their valuable posts downvoted to zero because someone with a large upvote disagrees with their content, or with their affiliation to some other account, or that some other large account has upvoted their post. I am also disturbed by what appears to be auto-downvotes - one whale downvotes, and a slew of other downvotes come in immediately afterwards. This has only happened to me once, and it was very traumatic. I would have left but for the support I got from other large accounts that came to my defense. I felt like I was a pawn in a war of the gods, a mere rat on the platform.

There must be some way to stop the pool draining without doing collateral damage to small accounts that are doing good, honest, work.

It's sad to see how even users who provide real valuable content that is directly affected by the bad behaviours in its valuation follow the narrative of the entitled.

I don't understand that statement. Valuable users ... follow the narrative of the entitled?

Are you able to send me an invite to discord? I am on a new computer and can't access discord from here yet. I'd love to talk more about this.

Of course! This is the official hive discord, my username is pharesim there too. Happy to exchange thoughts!
