No cause I'm not the one self-voting or votetrading while KennyS here is, tribesteemup->xeldal votes.
Post rewards shouldn't be seen as income, they're never guaranteed, same with curation rewards and witness rewards. HP APR is the only guarantee.

Right, but that depends on perspective I suppose. To a blogger or someone whom puts the effort in to write detailed posts and such on a long-term basis, it would be much of their "income" so to speak.
From what I've seen, most long-term folks here certainly write good quality stuff, and IMO don't deserve to be "pushed down" from it. Plus, isn't Hive (especially PeakD and Hive.blog) geared towards bloggers / writers?
Yes quite a lot and people should be earning I don't deny that, but if it so happens that a few posts get overdownvoted it shouldn't mean all hell breaks loose like some people act. I know it's easy for me to say cause I don't do most of my earning from post rewards, but I do know the feeling of getting zero'd, for months even and people need to be prepared for it. Anything can happen. I will however attempt to counter excessive downvotes (and upvotes) as much as I can when I have the extra time or happen to stumble upon them after finding out there was no real reason to (like josediccus recently), unless of course the way people act and the things they say make me not only not want to help them out but to downvote and lose my temper on because I think they're being such pieces of shit that they don't deserve to earn anything for the time being.
I can't disagree with you there. I occasionally view the "muted" area for people that I feel were over-downvoted and I try to help correct that with my little HP (excluding the REALLY weird stuff, spam, plagiarism, nobody likes that 😛).
And well, this is how I found Kenny and started following his posts a bit, I get that some folks are "over rewarded" but I'm really not a fan of the 'zeroing' that can happen to these folks, it feels hostile, and certainly to the creator, and that's what I feel triggered Kenny recently, most creators would probably feel the same way.
True, but he's not just a creator, he's a curator and many other things and has been for so long. Sure you could say I need to take better care of my vulgarity and outbursts but he could also improve on the way he reacts to such occurrences, especially since his actions/words are what triggered mine. I don't just lose my shit on people at random, i.e. don't have anger management issues, lol. You came out of left field as well but I realized you probably just don't know about why I've said and done what I did so I didn't just go on a rampage nuking all your selfvoted comments or harming your reputation score. I do hope people would use their vp in a more "give and take" kind of manner, both for posts and comments but similar to how you want to reward your own posts you've put a lot of effort into I can understand if you do the same for those comments if no one else does. It's just nicer receiving I guess so I kind of strive for that.
Appreciate that 😛 and your patience here haha. I just want folks to be "looked after" by the platform I suppose, easy to get shafted by Twitter, FB, Medium and everything else on more "contraversial" topics, and those folks I imagine will find refuge at Hive, as long as it's not insane stuff... I'm happy with it.
I reverted my vote spree on you anywho, apologies on my part. I hope Kenny doesn't get too discouraged as I do think he makes some decent posts, but I understand your points a bit better now as well. !LUV 4
@jskitty(1/4) gave you
Hey look, more baseless conspiracy theory from the King of Hive.
Did you bring evidence of any kind with you this time?
No? Just publishing more libel?
I'm not the one claiming I don't want autovotes and never forfeiting any post rewards (until after getting downvoted) and overreacting to them.
Also muting you at this point cause my time is more valuable doing other things.
Missing the entire point of everything I've said to you, for days, once again.
I guess once all of you mute me, I won't get downvoted for hitting trending anymore, since you won't see it?

lol, mind telling me what the context is of those votes? Or is this how you do research when you post and call people covidiots, idiot?
Just saw an image in the most recent update I was tag-spammed in, that seemed so very perfect for this conversation, to trigger your totalitarian rage some more.
Oh look, it's cause the usual suspects that overreward garbage that brings low value to Hive retaliated on me for downvoting cross-posts and links. Nice find bro, you totally won the argument!
Now show me some posts of yours you've forfeited rewards in the past or even self-downvoted cause you felt it got overrewarded. :)
Acidyo - upvoting himself with OCDB, because he got down-voted... While telling me I'm only in it for the rewards.
Also Acidyo
I upvoted myself due to retaliation. Would you like to see more retaliation on Hive?
Hey, more threats from the big scary whale man.
Surprise?!
You really can't help yourself, can you :)
So... because I don't decline rewards all the time or downvote my own content, it's OK for you to continue publishing libel about me on the blockchain?
Show me where you've ever once disproven, refuted, or even challenged any of the "controversial" topics that you think aren't worth rewarding?
You could refute what I say if you like, but if you're going to compare what I do and try to justify your shit by listening to literal idiots like logiczombie you're just digging your hive grave deeper.
I don't have to constantly disprove your theories to judge something overrewarded, I wasn't even the one downvoting you initially, remember? It's not hard to find that highimpactflix isn't providing any value to Hive looking at his literal dead ass account not get any engagement or traction even though they've constantly been trending from autovotes in the past. How much more clear do I need to make it to you people? Even if Trump were to join tomorrow, if all he does is cross-post from his social media platform without ever mentioning Hive it's quite natural that the support should extinguish over time, but apparently you guys want it to continue forever for some reason.
I'm sure others would take the time to disprove things but most of the time that content barely even has any engagement agreeing with it so not really sure what you want from me, lol. It's not like I need to understand how an airplane works to know what it's supposed to do.
Kind of ridiculous I have to point these things out to someone who has been here "curating" apparently for this long and providing value to Hive as to what actually brings value to Hive. A literal new gods unchained player who has around 10 views on Twitch has onboarded more people to Hive in the last week than dbroze has, and his content has more engagement. It's quite sad how downhill some things here have become and what we find acceptable.
You are derailing the conversation, once again, by talking about people that aren't in these conversations, who none of us have pointed to as the examples of receiving malicious downvoting.
You keep jumping between defenses for the actions of you and others, because none of them are defensible. Just shell game until people stop trying to talk to you, or you get triggered and start cussing them out.
I want you to stop spreading libel about me, and to make corrections to the many places that you have. You'll notice that you are the only one I've been specifically calling out so much (with this post) and it's not about downvoting at all (it's mentioned briefly), it's about you, one of the most powerful people on the platform, attempting to defame my character with outright lies, repeatedly.
It would be nice if you, or any of the other overlords, would stop feeling so high on yourselves now that you cut StInc out (keeping their ninjamine for yourselves) and are the top of the food chain now. But that's not going to happen, because that would be completely anathema to to the game of statism.
