LOL @ them voting for trivial food posts just because it's from a woman. This is something I've seen, and I feel the draw myself, to vote for a woman's post because you want them to like you. But lol.

Sort:  

this comment is beneath you @baerdric, trivializing a post based on it being posted by a woman. That is just wrong on a lot of levels.

That's not what I did. Chastise me as you wish, but for what I really did, which was trivialize the motives of guys who vote for a female's post just because they want her attention. I think that is very clear to those who want to see.

There, I've changed the wording so you can see it easier, but the other reply shows that my point was clear.

I dont often vote for female's 'trivial' food posts (at least not recently) but if I did it would be because I feel that is adds more value in terms of attracting users and growing the platform. It may also (as it was in the past when I did regularly vote for such posts) be done on the basis that they contribute a positive and fun vibe to the platform that is more value-creating for the platform than posting whiny rants about not earning enough money or that you don't like how people choose to vote. Likewise some art posts, news, photography, humor, memes, etc. (whether or not posted by females, which is often unknown).

Females drive social media and food content is a much bigger and more promising market (and part of social media) than long form blogging. These along are good enough reasons to support those posts, in addition to just personally liking that content better.
