RE: A big downvote on my blog. Without explanation. Without any misbehavior on my part. [ENG/DE]

in #hive13 hours ago

Downvote is a feature of Hive, it's not unusual. Just like you have likes and dislikes on web2.0 apps. If you were a content creator on FB or IG or YT, you wouldn't get upset if someone 👎your content and ask them to explain their action. You'd probably shrug your shoulder and move on.

Please note, I'm not endorsing the dv on your post as I don't know what's behind it, I'm just trying to explain how things work on Hive. I see you started off playing SPL and moved into the blogging side, and that's great, we need people more people to dive into the wider Hive ecosystem. I hope this episode won't put you off Hive - you shouldn't if you understand how Hive works.

Don't worry, I'm still having fun on Hive and will continue to do so. The downvotes also have their justification.

Nevertheless, I would still say that downvotes on Hive are rather “unusual”. I don't know the statistics, but I would simply estimate that this is 99:1.

And I also find the comparison with YouTube somewhat difficult, as there are simply a lot more dislikes distributed here in general. (Are there still any dislikes on YouTube at all? I don't even know :D)

I don't know the statistics, but I would simply estimate that this is 99:1.

If you really must know, it's 0.245% 😊
Downvotes are primarily targetted for spammers and abusers, though sometimes there are collateral damage
