Hello everyone!
I am here to learn what is Listnerds and how it should work?
The website highlights "Get rewarded for sending and receiving high-quality email messages."
Does it mean that no affiliate products are allowed here at all?
One of our respected Listnerds members @amirtheawesome1 mentioned this "some members share random articles (affiliate) on this platform. "
With due respect, If Affiliates' products do not fall under "email messages" then they might get downvotes.
"There is a group of people who work together."
When someone joins a system he has the right to promote the community and work together and I see others doing the same. That's how any team operates.
If you start downvoting any person only because he/she belongs to that team is kind of an insane approach.
Downvoting, in the long run, demotivates people to continue whatsoever.
If someone starts a "downvote drama" and then starts bragging about it publicly, then they shouldn't forget about the consequences it might bring along.
Thank you @jongolson allowing my opinion here.
Love & Support to all.
affiliate products. What I was talking about are random articles to which the mailer isn't affiliated. You don't become affiliated with a site just because you share a link from it. Just like you don't become the author of a post just because you copied the text from an online article.
When I said "random articles" it's pretty obvious what is meant. That is used to describe articles that the sender isn't affiliated with whatsoever.
I was being specific about how certain people went up. To me, a team isn't about upvoting a teammate regardless of their content and if they mail bad content. And it's definitely not about concentrating effort to downvote one person or two for calling out plagiarism consistently regardless of the quality of their content.
Do you mean like when a group starts downvoting someone because they called out one of them plagiarising more than once? That kind of downvote drama?
Exactly, that's why I always downvote mails that are legitimately awful. Downvoting blindly regardless of the content is something only brainless people would do.
I understand what you're saying, I really do. But, I also specifically gave an example to contrast the difference between the two extremes. There's a difference between people downvoting maliciously and just as a reaction and people doing based on standards. Go through the comments here and the video above, since you seem to be responding to my comment more than the video, and you will see that I am not the only one with that opinion.
I think even working toward improving will get you points for effort. It takes some really pitiful people to just downvote regardless of the posts. Otherwise, once you express actual willingness to improve, people will see and support that.
I personally have no issue with someone promoting and sending links of others work out there...It benefits the original author and creator. Helps build their brand and generate traffic.
Affiliate programs can be promoted, I just think there has to be a unique way to do it, rather than just...Buy my stuff.
