Thanks for responding, I was not sure before that's why I mentioned it and its good to know that you guys are actually trying to cater smartmarket too, already the great work with others
I am currently a minnow (recently upgraded from plankaton) and you might have an idea that I cannot afford to speak freely and face downvotes from whales like Wolf.
Standing up to things you believe are wrong without hiding behind a pseudonym of a pseudonym is something to be proud about. And I don't believe in retaliating via downvotes just because I disagree with someone.
Look, your stance on the @smartfund idea was correct and it was the right thing for you to comment on it, just keep in mind that the tone makes the music. I'm not an evil person, just a human who isn't all-knowing and who makes mistakes and who learns from respectfully given feedback.
I don't think wolf is someone who would retaliate with downvotes based on someone speaking their mind about his services, or at least not auto-dv or some other stupid shit we seeing some people do lately.
We're still a long way from countering abusive downvotes tho, I have to admit. Can't even begin looking at that with ocdb yet as there's still so much profitable votes being sold just so the bid bot owners earn more ROI than honest curators. Once that is finally dealt with we'll be moving onto countering downvotes and breaking off voting rings.
Hard to tell where to start and where to stop. It would be interesting for me to read your opinion on SBI in HF22 and later. It seems to have all characteristics of a full-fledged upvote cycle while beeing popular.
I have to agree, been looking a bit at it and qurator but so much going on lately it's hard to keep tabs.
