RE: The Normalization of downvotes | Read this post, then downvote it

in #busy5 years ago

Here's another scenario,

Still many are getting downvoted because they don't have engagement on their post (let's not consider the use of bid bots for this case).
And now look at the very famous trending page, and tell me how many of those posts trending do have a satisfactory engagement as they are seeking from small players? You will get all the pictorial view of the condition I'm talking about.

Still, they are perfectly fine to be there because those posts are from big players themselves or upvoted by big players, same big players who regularly downvote others stating there's not enough engagement to support the reward, this amuses me the most. They simply overthrow their power but cannot be the change they seek from others. And nobody talks a single word about this...never.

This is how it is, and being a small fish we can only watch from the corner and release that frustration like I am doing now.LOL

Hey @katteasis , I hear you 👍....I think those who were done the hard work earlier and were in limelight due to continous engagement at discord community or by commenting are reaping the rewards now. And rightly so as even they were not aware of this new eco system. The whales know them and now they are supporting them.

Man, I had to check your profile when you said it just to know when you joined steem/steemit, and I got a feeling that maybe we are in the same boat. I joined in July 2017 and then started using it as one of my mainstream media since august of that year. It took me a month to decide if this platform is even legit.
Since then I have been using it and used to read most of the posts and the comments and engaging with other people. From what I've seen, about half the users on today's trending page(let's exclude bot users) is on trending page because they used to suck too much of whales' balls,unfortunately, I don't belong there since I'm not here to please anybody and don't care if they upvote or flag me. I always speak my mind. Being said that I don't claim I'm always right.....But one thing I want to make clear to the community is that I am not talking about myself I don't post any quality content myself and It has already been a year or more and I admit that. My ranting has not do anything about me or posts I make.
