I think you can often tell from the reaction of someone about their position when you question them about things on their post.
When I set up another account here, I posted from my original website but used a 2nd log in which posted automatically to STEEM at the time (this was in 2019).
The 2nd account received the downvotes, had a few comments from those that downvoted (like what hivewatchers do now) saying to resolve it in their Discord.
I spent about 5 minutes in a discussion and everything was resolved. No dramas. Nothing.
So when you see someone spazzing out, going on a rampage and downvoting everything in site, making posts left right and center, it's often telling!
I'd like to think that the genuine ones will resolve it in an adult and professional way but understand that it can be daunting enough to begin here with the steep learning curve to begin with, let alone the whole rewards system and "etiquette" surrounding it.
Anyway, great post on trying to demystify another of HIVE's nuances - I do think with communities and tokens now that things will gradually change.

Some people don't like being challenged. English people (like us) can be quite arrogant about it and not want to back down. I'm pointing at my own race here but it's true!
Over the years I have been here I have tried to re-educate some and it has worked in some cases. I followed quite a few who didn't go on a rampage and listened. It's a massive curve for outsiders.
Haha, yeah, you're right about the English!
Thanks for being patient with those that you're trying to teach, once the learning curve starts plateauing, they are pretty good to go on their own journey on HIVE. That's what I've found anyway.
