RE: The Downvote Debate : A complex issue in need of a complex solution

in Threespeak3 years ago (edited)

Truth is, I like downvotes, it checks the system, but it should be spread Invariably and not emotionally and only to target a few, I never made a post because that might be whiny on my part and I will never do that. Hive is the best for me, I just feel we can have to set standards, be communicative about downvotes so that it wouldn't be salty. I've been here for a while and not even downvotes will let me be, I would have been appreciative if I was told "hey Jose, post just once a week we don't like how you trend and we don't agree"
Sincerly I would do that. I'm a community person. Every cent I held on steem was sold to buy Hive. That was 12k steem. And I still have it powered up.

@nathanmars and @snook are some of the oldest friends I have and they can testify that im not malicious. Infact while People sold everything they owned to go into Splinterlands, I never touched my hive to do so, not even at $3

So history with the chain should also play an Important role in downvotes, it's good to be communicative about it.

Im just a college student who's here, long-term. No milking, nothing, just believing and being on the chain.

As for others, I believe they should be warned if they're milking, if they continue maliciously then the DV can come.

Dvs are better and healthier if its spread all around.

As for me getting downvoted multiple times by curangel, I accept it, I won't argue or whine. Its the system, I believe in it.

Downvotes and downvoters should make you change how you do things on Hive. It should just be about the post in question and excessive rewards, imo. Of course if you yourself feel you're getting overrewarded for certain things it would be a big + if you started forfeiting part of the rewards through beneficiaries before downvotes occurred. It's quite sad that close to no people to this who trend constantly and have for years been rewarded well on Hive and have held stake to be rewarded expontentially more from price movements but keep on attempting to maximize in any way they can. It's a little bit greedy imo. I'm not trying to say this is directed at you but in general I wish more people would be more down to earth and accept realistic rewards by forfeiting some to hive.fund or other nonprofit projects through beneficiaries so curators or autovoters don't get penalized through max reward limits or decline payouts.

But yeah, don't change how often you post on Hive or how you use it based on downvotes but also think about all the time you may have been overrewarded and that some may not instantly jump in to counter your first big downvotes based on that since they want to see the effect of the downvotes and if it means lower upvotes in the near future for more realistic rewards due to them. Reactions from downvoted people also tells readers and those who may be interested to counter a lot, your statement here in the comments says a lot more about you than the people I've been reading the past few weeks who've been targeted with big downvotes so thank you for that.

Yrah, thank you for the response, the truth is, I'm never deserved of anything, I will never feel that way.

That's why I always post only once, so i'll never abuse any previlege, infact. When the DVs came I was like okay, thats good, time to move on. Its the way the chain should be.

However, i'll try to limit the reward on my post, its relatively been cut down but i'll still go the extra mile. Truth is, i'll never knowingly do anything to hurt the chain, its why I never circle jerk or even power down for any price.

Thanks for taking the time.

also just noticed i said should when I meant shouldn't in the first sentence. Sorry if that confused things.

You are correct @josediccus :D

I agree with this statement the most. I hope you don't mind me tagging you here. I think a better solution for those who downvotes is to try to onboard more investors who upvote in a way they agree with.

I find downvotes to be a really uninviting thing even though they've never effected me personally and I do totally understand why people want to do it that way. i just want to inside that point that I quoted from you.
