I've had a change of heart recently and jumped on @enforcer48 down vote trail for @flagrewards. I was anti down votes but I have been watching the block chain and upvote circle jerks and it is extremely frustrating.
Especially when I put effort into creating a blog, quite often I will spend a fee hours reading, finding information and then correlating it into a blog post to bring people news and information that I think is valuable. Noting that a number of information about tokens I brought to hive have done well. I know a few people that invested into them and got good returns.
Quite often my blog struggles to break $5 I get super excited when I see $10 and then over the moon with anything above it.
I then have seen people like you say drop a post with 5 words and a crap picture get massive upvotes and no where near the same level as I have put into it. Happens quite alot.
The recent drama with PoB and I put effort into PoB votes only to find out more people just reward abuse. It's not easy for any project lead to handle on their own.
So fark it, I joined the fight. As a Hive Dolphin with a decent stack I am not that good on my own but standing with others it actually adds up. I have a duty to Hive and as someone who has and continues to invest actual money I need to protect that investment.
So yes, I am not down voting.
That being said, if anyone thinks they shouldn't have received it they can tag me into the offending post for review but I have 100% faith in the team in seeking out crap posts.
Yes I have been downvoted in the past, yes it hurts but you get over it and tomorrow is a new day.
