RE: TODAY I WAS DOWNVOTED RANDOMLY - BEWARE THIS MAD IDEAL TO FOLLOW THE XACCOUNT'S DOWNVOTES TRAIL. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง - ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

in Olio di Balena โ€ข 2 years ago

On the issue of downvoting by the curators, I agree with you. In fact I didn't shut up during the downvote wars of 4 years ago when haijin drained the pool and his accounts were giving heavy downvotes. I received 3 downvotes of $ 40/60 at the time for opposing that situation. I have always supported freedom but also equality and equal opportunities.

I was very disappointed when the great curators, 4 years ago, for fear of losing their rewards, never opposed that situation, while as at the time, even now they don't mind giving a negative vote to a small user. Only because according to them he is earning too much and they have no right to do so.

In these posts, I have questioned this problem, but there are many things that should be fixed. I fight but I am a small voice.

for fear of losing their rewards

Yes, it t's a complex situation. Projects like OCD, tipu and Curangel can lose their delegations of they don't continue to provide a good return and this in turn means they can't continue with the work they do to distribute rewards better. So I understand why they do things a certain way.

I fight but I am a small voice.

Don't underestimate small voices. Enough of them together become big and make differences. Although I believe ultimately small actions have more impact than voices. If you come up with any alternative ideas I'd love to hear them. I much prefer a solution that doesn't require downvotes.

Look, we just talked about the whale downvote yesterday. My fear that even large users will follow the xaccount idea is already there. Now @newsflash is following this crazy idea too, this morning she gave me a nice negative rating. If this idea continues it is only harmful and the little ones will always lose out. Now I don't know what solutions to adopt, but today I will also question this thing with a post, because I care about Hive and I am convinced that this is a damage.

Looking at your post, it looks like the accounts they're going after are doing something about that anyway. That's your best rewarded post despite the downvote. ๐Ÿ˜‰ This is generally what happens when things get malicious with downvoting. They don't have the power to be downvoting everything at high amounts for long, so they need pick their battles.

In fact I am confused, I did not understand why that post was awarded so much, it received votes from curators who have never voted me before.

The accounts the X accounts are targeting are responding back by upvoting in order to cancel out the DV.

My fear that even large users will follow the xaccount idea is already there.

This is how they respond to counter that issue. You will likely get other accounts also responding in this way. It's why I don't worry too much about the small downvotes, because when things get out of hand the community responds in support.

Hope you are right about the community support. But in the past there hasn't been. I hope for the best, I have nothing else left. however the downvotes start to get heavy, a friend of mine took 7 negative votes from marky for a value of -40 $. It is no longer so cheap.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's looking like another whale war, but hopefully not permanent. Interestingly, after this conversation I read this post from dreemsteem, which I thought had some good perspectives. We've come through whale wars before, so this too shall pass. ๐Ÿคž

These things are why I also don't rely on just content earnings any more. We have so many investment opportunities available on Hive we can diversify.
