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

in Threespeak3 years ago

The problem, like I have bleated about many times before, all comes down to auto votes. If people used votes to upvote what they'd actually read, then no one could have any complaints.

Excellent point!

In my opinion, autovotes are the most flammable issue which fuels with more ferocity these polarized and hated debates between willy-nilly downvotes and over rewarding blind upvotes.

Blind autovotes even behave in such a pernicious way that even authentic quality content creators and great authors refrain from posting more often than they could simply because they are well aware that they are targets, recipients and beneficiaries of blind autovoters with high HP and consequently they penalize themselves for it. Since they actually wouldn't want to be seen or accused as abusers of that automated singular privilege.

And therefore, it is their true followers, their fans, the consumers of their interesting, entertaining, captivating and unique content and the rest of the community within the ecosystem who miss out the opportunity of enjoying their peculiar contributions more often.
