RE: OPEN LETTER TO @WHALES: please be mindfull with your MASS-DOWNVOTES before it's to late

in #steem5 years ago

Hi friend
definitely a solid topic to talk about.
I think downvote is good, provided its used wisely and with proper reason and action. This is introduced to stop abuse only so if we found any users abusing the platform then we should leave a comment first. Just because one don't like the post then should not downvote and its wrong. If this will happen then we will lots of people leaving platform who are victim of this downvote.

Everything has its pros and cons and if this feature is used in right matter then it will help steem it become even better and vice-versa.

I have seen few posts having high rewards are downvoted for no reason and I guess its because people think that post is not worth that much reward. Its a tricky question and I hope in coming days we can have better understanding about it.

Dear @alokkumar121

I'm sorry for such a late reply. I've been sick for past few days and I'm just catching up.

We're clearly on the same page here. I know that downvotes can (and are) being used by many large stake holders to make steemit a better place, but it's obvious that there is huge room for abuse and there is very little (or nothing) we can do to prevent that.

My goal was to point out the problem. Problem which really exist. I can even give another example: ulqu3 - he has been away from steemit for a longer while. Came back, posted something and used bidbots to boost his post to trending page. He got number of heavy downvotes, but noone bothered to tell him what did he do wrong. Not even one warning or explanation.

I already know several similar examples and it's not hard to imagine and understand, that many of those users will quit steemit. And that worries me.

Enjoy your weekend buddy,
Cheers, Piotr
