And guess what happens when people start having negative experiences?
They don't come back.
You do not need to tell me. I saw it with my own eyes in the previous almost five years. I am on the Hive blockchain since 2017.05.17, and I saw thousands of people coming and going. To be honest, even I left a few times, but unlike most people, I came back. Most of my followers are inactive nowadays, because they left the platform years ago.
It would be much better to support new and old users, and create a positive experience for them, instead of scaring anyone away. Some people say that Hive is our company. If this is true, then these downvote wars are like cutting a tree under ourselves. This scares away many people.
Certain downvotes are good. Especially reasoned downvotes. For example downvoting spam and scam. So downvotes are necessary. But not the excessive, unreasonable downvotes, including the downvote wars.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I think Hive is going to make it :) We aren't perfect but it's still the best thing out there by a long shot :)
