People need to stop comparing Web2 to Web3 x)
Its different, different rules, different how it works and different how the money flows.
Vortac clearly likes the stuff you post since he upvotes you and Curangel clearly dislike the stuff you post since they downvote it.
Have you asked why Vortac upvotes you?
Curangle might just adjust "your" rewards. (Not really yours before they are paid out x))
They are not really gatekeeping since you can still be here and anybody can still join xD
Curangel is downvoting you with 2% or so of they HP, so you still earn rewards, they could easily zero your posts, but they dont.
They might just adjust your rewards. Thats it.
