RE: Why Hive Feels Less Rewarding Lately (And What You Can Do About It)

in Hive Learners • 4 months ago

Well, I hated to do that, lost me VP and curation, but I'd rather you not get hit for more because of me. It's very lame that you actually had to ask me nicely to remove my vote, such an upside-down situation.

I see that downvote nonsense going on and thought that might the case, I'm sorry that you're on the receiving end of it...I think downvotes are necessary (otherwise I'd go over to Blurt), but I think they should be used for actual abuse like plagiarism or kiddy porn or solicitations to violence,...things that are actually against the community rules or are illegal, not for perceived "abuse" or capping earnings.

Keep on keeping on, bro. 👍

      Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

      • Disagreement on rewards
      • Fraud or plagiarism
      • Hate speech or trolling
      • Miscategorized content or spam

        I feel conflicted about it, to be honest. It’s a tough choice because by self-downvoting, I’m also reducing the curation rewards of those who support me. That’s why I’m trying my best to add more value to my posts by including research whenever I have extra time.

        And yeah, it feels like some downvoters are taking the easy route... just targeting posts they believe are over-rewarded. Maybe it gives them a sense of doing good for the platform, like a pat on the back. But if they truly care about fair downvoting, there are real abuses they could focus on (like the ones you mentioned).

        That said, dealing with actual abuse on the platform is no easy task. And it's also tricky to expect whale downvoters to handle it all. It might be asking too much to expect them to actively fight plagiarism or spam, especially if they lack the time or resources to do so. 😓
