RE: After dedicating 5.5 years to Hive/Steem, I've been informed by KING ACIDYO that I added no value

Yes quite a lot and people should be earning I don't deny that, but if it so happens that a few posts get overdownvoted it shouldn't mean all hell breaks loose like some people act. I know it's easy for me to say cause I don't do most of my earning from post rewards, but I do know the feeling of getting zero'd, for months even and people need to be prepared for it. Anything can happen. I will however attempt to counter excessive downvotes (and upvotes) as much as I can when I have the extra time or happen to stumble upon them after finding out there was no real reason to (like josediccus recently), unless of course the way people act and the things they say make me not only not want to help them out but to downvote and lose my temper on because I think they're being such pieces of shit that they don't deserve to earn anything for the time being.

Sort:  

I can't disagree with you there. I occasionally view the "muted" area for people that I feel were over-downvoted and I try to help correct that with my little HP (excluding the REALLY weird stuff, spam, plagiarism, nobody likes that 😛).

And well, this is how I found Kenny and started following his posts a bit, I get that some folks are "over rewarded" but I'm really not a fan of the 'zeroing' that can happen to these folks, it feels hostile, and certainly to the creator, and that's what I feel triggered Kenny recently, most creators would probably feel the same way.

True, but he's not just a creator, he's a curator and many other things and has been for so long. Sure you could say I need to take better care of my vulgarity and outbursts but he could also improve on the way he reacts to such occurrences, especially since his actions/words are what triggered mine. I don't just lose my shit on people at random, i.e. don't have anger management issues, lol. You came out of left field as well but I realized you probably just don't know about why I've said and done what I did so I didn't just go on a rampage nuking all your selfvoted comments or harming your reputation score. I do hope people would use their vp in a more "give and take" kind of manner, both for posts and comments but similar to how you want to reward your own posts you've put a lot of effort into I can understand if you do the same for those comments if no one else does. It's just nicer receiving I guess so I kind of strive for that.

Appreciate that 😛 and your patience here haha. I just want folks to be "looked after" by the platform I suppose, easy to get shafted by Twitter, FB, Medium and everything else on more "contraversial" topics, and those folks I imagine will find refuge at Hive, as long as it's not insane stuff... I'm happy with it.

I reverted my vote spree on you anywho, apologies on my part. I hope Kenny doesn't get too discouraged as I do think he makes some decent posts, but I understand your points a bit better now as well. !LUV 4
