You could attract some people with a grudge here :) Here are some thoughts from me:
- Self votes may be okay if you are a small account desperate for rewards or if you are bigger and you give yourself a small amount. I see big accounts who are the main voter on their own posts and that seems wrong. I've seen people spam comments and upvote every one of them. They soon find they lose any rewards.
- Tag abuse is an issue. You can get blacklisted by tribes for trying to profit from it.
- I know Hivewatchers can be really strict on it, but if you use an image, even if it's allowed by the licence, it's best to give the source. Definitely don't claim credit if it's not yours.
- Be sincere with your comments. I get some that just aren't and they don't get votes.
- Attacking people who have done a lot for Hive is going to be bad for your account. They are not satanists or Nazis. If they use words like 'cabal' it's probably as a joke.
- Don't over-react if you get downvoted. Either you were seen to be breaking rules or someone just doesn't like you. On Hive people are free to do what they like and they are not obliged to leave a comment. If it's Hivewatchers then put your case in their Discord. If you just rage quit then it's Game Over.
Yeah, it has been pretty quite and civilized so far though. I am guessing eventually I will catch the eye of someone though. We will see what happens then. I am trying to be pretty unbiased and democratic about the whole thing. It's more of an informational project. Thanks for your great submissions.

I've seen it all play out over the years. I want people to succeed by honest efforts. Of course some will try to cheat the system, but they tend to get spotted. We have powerful tools to look for them.
Some downvotes have nothing to do with you, but with someone who voted you. It is also done when they think you have been overrewarded. But, you nailed it... Don't over-react.
Exactly. They should not be taken personally, especially as they often have no significant effect. I get that it looks bad to have any, but I got over that long ago.
Yeah, our hive "content" police decide what has value and what does not. They should look on Pinterest and other social media. 100x higher MC than hive. So they do something right?
Your point is?
real SMT needed to scale. Too many personal preferences on everything, POB for GOV coin is also questionable. I mean big whales only vote burn/dao posts and autovotes are also meh.
Other mechanics could have large impact.
Did you miss the whole bit about the community deciding the value of posts? Big accounts are part of that and we don't want Hive to get a reputation for plagiarism. It does need to grow, but that should be based on original content. Feel free to downvote abuse.
That's true and I 100% agree with it. But with automation, it makes no sense. I see auto downvotes and auto votes?
What sense does it have? Bigger accounts are also in scared because of drama and downvote not other big wallets.
You see what the point is? POB is beautiful with manual selection. And downvotes are necessary.
But valuing things ( mass adoption) needs not whale opinion, it needs majority opinions for valuing things.
Means Gov token for rewarding is not smart.
Well that's how it is unless there's a major change coming. You get to support the witnesses you think do it right. Hive is an imperfect system, like everything, but still has potential. The auto downvotes seem to come from someone with an axe to grind. People are imperfect too and will fall out.
True.
I think system is fixed if hive has a rewarding alternative to the current hive rewards. So Hive itself doesn't use POB anymore and becomes gas token.
So whales that want control doesn't need to "protect" their investment.
Curating content becomes more laser focus in niche communities.
From science to funny shitposts and memes. And every topic has there own reward mechanic.
This would also "little accounts" give a reason to build their community. Like onboard their followers or something like that.
Who knows it will ever happen, this was something i loved about the SMT idea.
