lol shit, i don't know what to do. I don't really disagree with your reasoning, but I can see how people get frustrated when they feel their being picked on, or when one persons judgement can crush a post, even a post like that (and like I said, i do understand your reasoning). The real problem is the people upvoting empty templates for $10...
In any case, thanks for the reply. I really hope you get a regularly updated list together....i want to support your project but I think you need a bigger team working on it, people who are forgiving and thorough. It would be nice if we could choose for ourselves to opt out of downvoting certain people on your list who we disagree with your judgement on, not sure how complicated that would be but I'd definitely promote a proposal to develop something like that. An open appeal process and way to vouch for users would be really nice as well. Anyways, just some ideas.
This dude seemed to leave some thorough ideas and suggestions in my comments section directed at Jarvie and Peakd development, in his defense.
And @keys-defender, I do see why people wouldn't want a post that was mostly copy and paste getting $10 reward. I know it feels like it's all in-group out-group sometimes, I know there is bullshit and politics and power games, but I think you'd probably find fewer enemies if you put more substance in your posts rather than just statistics and posted a little less. I doubt Marky would downvote it then, I'm sure you'd find more people to support it too. No hard feelings, undownvoted, not going to unfollow his trail yet cause he said it was just a few times. If it keeps happening I'll see what happens and keep re-assesing if I want to unfollow it but to be honest, I also don't want copy/paste templates receiving $10 upvotes.
You seem like you have something to add to this ecosystem, and I'm sure there is a way you could get the respect you deserve. Most people are pretty reasonable, sometimes you have to suck it up and deal with a little bullshit but if you stay reasonable yourself, you'll come out doing better than you were before.
I assume you are just following my downvotes on a hive.vote. That’s something you can turn off of you want to. I no longer run a blacklist or deal with abuse. I just vote as I see fit and mostly only deal with rewards disagreement now.
Ah, I see. Didn't realize that. Keep fighting the good fight 😝
I don't recommend people follow my downvotes as I downvote based on my Hive power and have no idea what votes may follow.
