What's the bad thing about downvotes?
Like, is it the emotional impact? Someone expressing dislike makes you feel bad?
Or does it have more to do with financials, the people should only express where they want rewards to go and not express that something is getting too much of the reward pool?
Those are just examples to try and clarify the question: What's the bad thing about downvotes?
The entire #blockchain and the beast name internet it's a funny thing that developed the inner space of so many people to become filled in with so much hate ... i am sorry, that as an artist, i can sense a little bit aggression in your virtual keyboard voice :)
You should not be like this, and, especially you should not support these actions ... as i've said, you don't like my #art for instance :) maybe it's too abstract, not so commercial and on the menu of consumism, just move forward, don't read, don't listen ...
In my humble opinion, the first sign that we are part of a community based and build on something non-organic, is the fact that if someone follows you, no one, almost are following back so we can create that healthy community or blockchain ...
Have a Happy New Year filled with less hate ... @foxon
😆No, not hating. I was just curious about why it was bad. I like thinking about systems and how they can function. YouTube, for instance, is heavily reliant on the downvote function for its algorithm. Twitter has no downvote. Both are very successful, but their use case doesn't really translate directly to Hive. If my question lead you to believe I was hating something or mad at you, then I do apologize. It was only curiosity and a desire to continue developing Hive
Sorry again if I offended. Enjoy your time on the Internet!
Nothing personal @foxon
Thanks for stepping by and commenting to my point of view. For me twitter and youtube are totally two beasts that are working totally different on how they are managing the way the dopamine invades the brains of people ...
Anniway, we shall continue creating and enjoying this Matrix as much as we can while we are still here ...
Happy 2021!
(Emotional impact)*(Perceived Monetary Loss) = damage to community
But it seems specific to social blockchain. YouTube has downvotes. It hurts people's feelings and results in preceived monetary loss
Downvotes aren't strictly necessary.
Curation of content, including nuking filth and spam, is strictly necessary.
Then I suppose the real question is: who determines that curation?
In the case of Hive, stake makes that determination
In the case of Steem, a corporate identity is responsible
For Blurt, the regents and a council
They all have "down votes" (demonetization).
The designer, Dan Larimer, mostly spoke for Hive's model so I won't rehash all the morality of why stake should make the determination.
Blurt seems basically the same as the YouTube model when it comes to demonetization (not at all the same when it comes to censorship).
Steem has YouTube's demonetization AND censorship model.
Last we heard your thoughts on the matter, the morality of who makes this determination was more about "money for enemies". That seems to not be the current direction, so it'd be interesting to hear your current thoughts on the matter
Emotional impact? LoL.
Facts don't care about your feelings.~Ben Shapiro
What about the emotional impact of parents letting their children destroy the house with flinging shit at the wall? No, they downvote that activity real quick...
Edit: I'm more socialist Democrat then republican... But I do love me see shapiro.
