RE: Why I won't vote for you if you offer me something in return

in #rant8 years ago

As rants go, this one is well-reasoned and remarkably low key given your topic. I also suspect there's a bit of a sheep effect in play on the platform at the moment; newbies see others behaving a certain way and think that's an effective way of interacting, perhaps not thinking about how they would feel if a person walked up to them on the street and e.g. offered to trade watches with them. That might not be the best metaphor (I'll work on it and will welcome suggestions for a better one!), but that's how their behaviour makes me feel, on a smaller scale, mostly since my vote is currently with a lot less than my watch 😂. Basic reaction? Nope, and I quickly walk on.

Sort:  

Newbies are impressionable, excited and easily misled. No one can blame them. I hope posts like these help them get a better grounding of things.

And that's why I read and resteemed it - hoping others will pick up your gentle, wise words.
