I can't reply to your last comment, so I'll respond here.
I might downvote that... because I feel its unlikely that such performances will bring many people to steemit.
Sorry to paraphrase. But that is exactly what I mean by subjective, you say so yourself, and as such you're taking it upon your self to speak for the whole. Who gives any one person the right to speak for every one? Beside that, who's to say that wont bring many people to Steemit?
These attitudes, where we think we know what's best, is off-putting. Seeing people dictate what is valuable and what isn't, oppresses people from expressing their own unique and individual opinions, especially when they have to fear getting downvoted just because someone disagrees with how much some one else's opinion is worth. I fucking hate green day, but I'm not going to downvote you because I think it's lame and would've probably bullied you in high school for listening to them. Instead I'll ignore that you like green day, the people who do like green day will like your post about green day, you'll get that one reward for posting about green day, and we'll move on.
Sorry if I sound like a rude prick, but I really dislike it when someone suggests something is best for everyone. Perhaps I should downvote yours and Smooth's comments because I disagree with them and think the opinions you're expressing devlue our community? Of course I wouldn't, because that would show aggression, passive aggression that devalues the community. See what I'm getting at?
I agree with that perspective, however I disagree with your belief that constitutes aggression. It is simply voicing your opinion on what type of content you want to see here. Others doing the same in aggregate form what "the platform" collectively encourages or discourages.
