What is with downvotes?

in #steam5 years ago (edited)

I saw recently I get downvotes for no reason, I mean today I got 14$ downvote. Am I missing something, what is the point of all this downvotes? Can someone explain to me? I mean I post decent photos and I don't see a reason for downvotes. Thanks

Update: some users commented with the reason for downvote, I appreciate that, thank you :)

I see there are some bots or new accounts that are spamming the system. If you visit profile of such downvoters, you will moat likely see just 1 post shared and on that many people might have commented about downvoting their posts.

I to have been getting a few downvotes here and there I wish that if you want to downvote a post you also have to leave a comment as to why

May I ask what you used to see the downvotes like this?

In last week almost all my post have a downvote, even the ones that are less then 1$

Sadly that’s all to common these days

No fault of your own my friend. It's the new system. Sometimes there's a disagreement about the reward you get on a post. Say you get a bunch of upvotes that take your post to $100. Some people may think your post is only worth $50, so they will down vote to remove some of the reward.

The large vote from booster is probably to counter the large upvote from OCDB.
Some of the larger accounts are also angry at each other, so they counter each others' votes.

Like in the old African saying, when two elephants are fighting, the grass gets hurt. You're the grass in this story :)

Hope that helps.

Thank you, yes that make sense, I am a positive guy and I dont like negativity floating in the air :) I will try to not take it personally :)

U flagged me in retaliation Mr.positive pants lol.. That's definitely taking it personally.. Not to mention i made it abundantly clear I don't think your nice pictures are worth 70 bucks.. Grow up

Next time just post a comment why you do it, for me wasn't clear why you did it that why I created the post. How do you feel when i downvote your post with no reason. Next time just downvote and leave a comment with reason and I will not have a problem with that. And to make it clear I dont have a problem with you or any downvoters as long as they dont do it from hate. And I appreciate the time you took to comment, I will upvote to show my appreciation. Thanks :)

Cool, I generally always leave a comment as to why I've flagged something. My vote isn't really worth much and I don't discriminate or flag out of hate. You can see for yourself I'm currently attacking one of the most powerful influential accounts here because i disagree his intentions, content, and he called me a moron, bitch, etc. all over my less than a penny flags. These are the leaders of steem.. He is a real steem monster I'm mostly muted by the powerful elite here as they can't tolerate free thinking people or opinions that don't stroke their egos..

Sometimes it happens some people upvote some down vote. You may have got a big upvote from some kind of bot and some people don't like that so they down vote it. Hopefully it's only a one off thing.

You received some good upvotes yesterday and got to the trending page and some of the posts there are being downvoted from all sort of subjective reasons. If you think you can get some explanations you may tag the one that has downvoted you and ask why. Also if the downvotes are not consistent you don't have to worry. Keep up with the good work. Your posts are appreciated.

Thank you for reply. So far steem kept me motivated to take photos, was a relaxed and environment, but I guess is just like the rest of internet, are all kind of people
