This isn't fedbook or instafed, you have to be one of us to get anywhere here.
That requires commenting on the posts of others and being here to answer comments on your own posts.
Maybe join the conversations in the discords.
We are a social platform.
You should also probably realize that there are far more creators than consumers here, if you want attention here you will have to earn it.
Any outside fame will only attract the vapid, not many of those here with stake to vote on your posts.
Throw in that most of us here are aware of our place in the order of things, not many are looking for what you are selling.
We've already heard the news from our own sources.
Those downvotes you got were nothing personal and just part of the game in the hive.
The comments on the other hand,...
I would tend to agree with this. I do better here on this platform because I interact. The viewers hare are far different that those on platforms created for contented slaves. When I step out of line with my message I quickly get reminded here that principles are what matter not being popular. I'm not saying Brian is trying to be Mr. popular. I just think you need to understand it's not the same game when you come to this platform. I consider this my peer review platform. Oh and I am not nearly up on what is going on with the hive as I should be. It takes us all being fully informed to keep this decentralized and not turning into what steemit is. Oh wait that is happening.
