RE: "whale" you help me understand? 😏

in Loving HIVE ❤2 years ago (edited)

I get downvoted when upvoted by certain people. My understanding was @theMarkyMark was not voting on posts anymore because Xmarkymark, who is not the same as XXXXXXXXX used to be, kept downvoting what he upvoted.

I now find the downvotes are getting more significant from another account. I have been wondering the same thing. What brought on the larger downvotes?

The truth is we make our bread and butter writing posts. To some, 'downvoting to make a point' is, do I eat today or not? to those they are downvoting.

I know checks and balances are there and need to be there, but the more significant wars used to at least be on the whale's posts.

@deraaa is a talented Author and makes Hive LOOK GREAT to anyone passing by to check out Hive.

I never understood how some do not see this as a negative for all of us, especially investors or those thinking of investing.

Good Luck @DreemSteem!!

Yes i get the downvotes often from the X accounts - and I don't really pay them any attention because they are just... part of the system, and I can't stop someone from creating an account and expressing their displeasure at SOME part of my post. Even if it has nothing to do with me? if it only has to do with an upvote from a whale - so be it...

I have to get used to it...

but this just doesn't seem fair and balanced here - and I'm not sure what to do to help @deraaa. I mean - aside from just handing her over some HIVE to get by! (which is no one else's business if I do or not hahaha - but that's not the point, right?)

It's just... what would the larger accounts have us do, in the midst of their war? Do they care? They are the ones who have invested large enough amounts to make HIVE valuable - so we HAVE to care what they think. If we want a platform that can help everyone - we HAVE to care what they think. But do they care what we think? I don't know. Is there some way to have some kind of understanding? Can they let us know what's going on at times? So we're not sitting here just kinda... scratching our heads?

I think that's what we all want. To know what's expected. Then people can make their own decision as to what the personally need to do.

You know? I think so. but hey - I guess we'll find out! Thanks @snook!!!! I appreciate your willingness to add to the mix!!
