Even though I've been on Hive for quite a while, no one has ever complained about my frequent posting. I've asked people, and they said that two posts a day (especially if I don't post every day) is fine.
Is there any way to lower this rating? I don't want to ruin the idea of the site, and I see other people doing the same. Could you also tell me, why high KE rating is problem?
Thank you for your attention, and best regards.
Not speaking for @hurtlocker, but it'd help if you'd be more active socially. You barely have any active followers engaging with you on your posts and other than posting I can't pinpoint anything else of value you may be doing on Hive.
KE simply stands for how much author + curation rewards you've earned compared to your total stake now.
Thank you ❤️
Is it about comments, sharing content, etc.? If I write more comments and share more posts, will it improve? I'm not just saying this in terms of a high rating. I'd like to have a greater impact on the community. For the first few years, I mainly drew from it because I needed the money, but for a while now, I've been "farming aura" to make my voices more powerful. I like my friends' posts that appear on my wall, etc.
Thanks, have a nice day. :)
O no worries. It's not a complaint, just telling you what I typically do with my stake. My definition of a high post frequency is going to be different than other people; we are all human.
KE can be very obscure. Everything has some context. But KE is simply Rewards/Stake. So it shows how much of your rewards you actually stake up, on net anyways.
I don't view KE in isolation when making a dislike decision but I know some accounts do just based on their voting patterns on chain.
Ufff I thought I'd caught the eye of the Hive downvoters, like a few people who post several times a day for an entire year.
As for the rest, I didn't understand much. I'm not very good at these things. Thanks for the reply!
I would def look into it. KE is very important here.
A lot of upvote curation is automated. It would not surprise me if there was automated downvote curation that operates based on raw numbers like KE.
If you don't "understand" these things, the easiest way to explain it is, KE > 1 means that account extracts from the system (just on a pure raw numbers basis).
So an automated downvote curator will just pick that up and there won't be a discussion because it is all automated.
Now it's clearer, thank you for your time. If I comment more often, share others' posts, or limit myself to one post per day, will this affect my rating? Is there anything else I need to do?
KE is only rewards / stake.
Anything else you do won't impact your KE. I am not saying you need to lower your KE, I am just saying, to me, it seems like people do get auto downvoted by other accounts based on this metric.
Kay, thanks. I will follow your (yours and HiveGC's) comments from today. Have a good night :).
You too!
I don't really care about KE as much as other "accounts". I am ok with people having high KEs if their content is really "good" based on the current standard of content on social media more broadly.
Side comment - curating is way easier than writing posts so I don't understand why so many people have a KE over 1.
