Yeah, I try to "follow the rules" to the best of my ability (I upvote a lot of low rep accounts, I'll have to see if I can get an "official" ruling on that). When you read the "appeals" you see people getting downvoted for stuff like saying "veganism made me sick" and for posting-public domain images without attribution-links and for making "low-effort-posts" like posting pictures of their dog.
I wonder (out loud) how long it will take for you to be banned and blacklisted. It has to be coming, right?
Well, up to this point, the downvoters still appear to believe they're "reasonable" so I try to reason with them.
I believe declining payouts also gives me some "cover" (but not immunity).
On my very first encounter with steemcleaners (https://steemit.com/dtube/@logiczombie/u29hqt3h5bv) when I asked them why the heck "the original author" (me) would care if anyone re-posted their stuff they told me "why don't you just decline-payouts?" which struck me as odd, I didn't even know what they were talking about! That post only earned 0.04 steem anyway and it was only my 4th post evar! I didn't know what a "discord" was, I didn't know what "rules" I'd "broken", I didn't know who "steemcleaners" was or how the rep system worked.
