Thank you for your honest and detailed answers. I think I can still learn a lot from you. I didn't realise that I had attracted so much attention from curators so quickly. Or that promotions of more than one day can seem intrusive. And since I have a lot of time to think about my use of the Hive Blockchain, new questions are arising. For example, about participating in and dealing with curation trails via Hive.Vote. Is that a good thing? To experiment, I'm currently participating in about 30 trails with a vote weight of 30% and the scaled method (also wanted to get some info on the Discord channel in question, but the answers weren't exactly enlightening). Or are delegations from HP (e.g. to @appreciator) a good thing? Or what do I do with my Ecency points now? Because I don't just want to take, I also want to give.

Hi, nice to meet you. Ecency Points can be used
Boostings are not guaranteed, there are curators looking if the vote/worth and content/effort is okay. If you dont get the boost, your ecency points will be refunded within 24h.
PROMOTING - I personally am not a big fan of promoting "Normal" content. I would just use it for contests or something that could be interesting to the majority of hivers. But it's totaly up to you.
Promoting can be choosen for 1 - 14 days, but as Dandays said, longer then 2 days make no sense, even can lead to downvotes if people see it too often.
TIP - if youre online with ecency and look at the end of each post, you also find the little present symbol. click it and you can choose to send HIVE HBD or ECENCY POINTS to the blogger as a present. for BOOST - ( I know @dandays is not a fan of self boost but) also boosting for you own content is okay. But on the other hand you also can see the BOOST as if you where a Whale and can give nice upvotes to people you think deserve a little more.
for ecency questions you also find us in ecency discord https://discord.gg/P9qPDCY4
Greetings from Austria :-)As I see you also post in German, you could think to use the #deutsch tag. This is the tag most german speaking hivians from DACH look into.
My pleasure.
I have my account following a couple trails. Yes, I think they're a good thing. We as individuals don't have time to sift through all the content whereas curation trails have handfuls of curators constantly searching for quality content. Supporting them who then support undervalued content is a good thing. My only recommendation would be, be wary of trails who use their HP to downvote content based on difference of opinion. I don't support trails who abuse their delegated HP to downvote material out of spite rather than abuse. Downvoting plagiarism or racism, for example, totally acceptable. Downvoting political differences or science opinions, however, totally unacceptable.
Gaining HP by delegating is absolutely a good thing. It's safe to say the majority of large account holders are delegating to someone. Each curation account has their perks. Ecency, for example, pays 100% of their earned HP to delegators whereas others may only pay 80% which isn't bad but it's not 100. LEO finance is another one, they're paying 16% APR which I think is the best on the platform currently. To answer your question, yes, delegating is a good thing.
Ecency Points are yours to do with as you wish, there's so many ways to spread them around. Boosts and promotes are not a one way street and work everywhere, not just ourselves. Try it out, each time you receive quality comments or consume quality content, drop them a 150 boost. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results. If everyone only promoted content they find valuable rather than their own content, I think our feeds will have a lot more quality and a lot less narcissism.
Any time man, I don't know everything but I'll teach you everything I know. I haven't been around much lately, haven't posted fresh content for about a month now, I come and go but even if I vanish for periods of time, I'll be back and pick up where I left off.
Good morning (as I write this it is just 11:30am on my 40th birthday). Thank you for your votes in my last post. I'm just having some thoughts about downvotes. Because I got some in the last post. Most of them from accounts with an X at the beginning.
(xecency, xcurangel, xappericator). What are we talking about here? Are they bots? How should I weight them? I also got downvotes from two other accounts. Wouldn't it be useful to have an automatic, obligatory comment function when downvotes are made, so that the recipient knows why?
I have also asked the questions in the Discord Channel recommended to me, but would also like to have your personal opinion on this, as I enjoyed our last dialogue extremely.
You're welcome. Happy birthday dude.
Shuffle those downvotes in one ear and right out the other. Pay about as much attention to them as you would second hand toilet paper from a street vendor. Somewhere along the lines, someone who's half decent with computers got their feelings hurt over upvote techniques by the big curation accounts and developed bots to downvote everything they upvote. They're nothing worth thinking about, pay them no attention and keep doing what you do.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Yay! 🤗
