No worries. This is for whatever reason part of the process.
It’s literally why we need more downvote projects.
I don’t have to respond to comments but I’m being nice right now.
But for some reason everyone has created this expectation if you get downvoted I have to explain it.
I won’t explain it forever.
I don’t owe anyone anything. And it doesn’t matter how poor someone is.
Hive is not a global charity.
I should be able to dislike posts I don’t like. I didn’t buy HIVE just to turn around and give it away for free; that would be silly.
Thank you. I also believe in the quality of what I share because I put in all my effort, and I know there are people who enjoy it. I believe in the wonderful people I've met.
It's a shame my content isn't to your liking, but it is high quality, and that's enough for me.
Thank you for your replies, and I apologize if I bothered you, but I believe in the value of dialogue for growth.
Best regards and my best wishes.
Thank you too. I’m not going to explain things forever. It’s just not sustainable.
But these conversations help explain my standard and where I’m coming from.
I am not a robot and neither are you. What I downvote and why will change, what content you right will change.
We are all human. But the accounts that are not human and posting automated content shouldn’t get any rewards in my opinion.
Regardless the type of content, I’m not vindictive and I’m not running any scripts.
If I downvote you, it was me, and that’s just how I was feeling that day.
I’m only human.
One bit of feedback, the introduction in all your posts is very similar.
I don’t think I would have downvoted it if there is more variability there.
That being said, you should write what you like and if you like to do your introductions that way, go for it!
Please don’t assume I will downvote you forever.
And who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind one day and give you an upvote. You never know!
Thanks! I really appreciate that kind of feedback.
I try to have a sort of personal brand in my posts (even the colors I use) so they're recognizable as mine; I always start with the same greeting and close with the same farewell.
But I understand what you mean! I think this interaction, despite the awkward moment, has been very productive! 🍀✨️
Yea there is a personal element to downvoting.
That’s why I’m trying separate @hurtlocker actions from the dialogue that occurs here.
You can look at activities on my @hurtlocker account, you can see a lot of the stuff I’m downvoting is AI or spam, not all, but a lot.
Unfortunately the @hurtlocker account will be a hammer in search of a nail, I’m only doing this because I think this is the approach HIVE needs.
There are multiple problems:
There is a culture of freaking the F out when someone gets downvoted. Maybe I don’t like your posts does? Maybe I was having a bad day? I should be allowed to downvote things I don’t like without it turning into some insane firestorm. Maybe that’s wishful thinking and it will never change? Who knows.
There are a lot of people just farming the block chain. They don’t like doing it but they need the money. I don’t think that’s good for us or them. There are more important things than money. There are plenty of more creative people than me from all walks of life and I hope they come here. There are plenty of posts of pictures that I see that I enjoy. Maybe it’s not their picture? Maybe they copied it from someone else? But that’s often less repetitive and less blatant. In your case we had a conversation about it, I explained what was on my radar at the time. I hope I can have more conversations with people like that here and even upvote their content one day.
