RE: Promoting The Upvote Culture
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
disagree with it or how much you are receiving in rewards...
I will agree with you that opinion downvoting is a dick move. But... You do realize the reward pool is both a fixed and shared resource? That means the more people who "move along" when they see abject over-rewarded posts, or posts designed to milk the system, the less rewards there are for the people actually working hard who deserve them. One reason the rewards have improved for you, for me, and many of your readers is there's folks out there willing to not look the other way when it comes to exploiting the reward pool.

Yeah that's the biggest issue I have with it...Opinion downvoting. If you don't agree, just move along.
And I 100% agree with protecting the rewards pool from the spam and abuse.
Then shouldn't you be following an @steemflagrewards down vote trail?
If you really care about fighting abuse.
Yeah, the last thing I'll ever do is follow any downvote trail. I'm all about the upvote :)
Lol
Then you are not ready to adult for steem.
There is plenty of spam and abuse being downvoted.
You get the gains from that in increased reward pool size, but contribute nothing to your gain.
You are advocating that the adults carry the burden while everybody else has their heads in the sand over not wanting to take responsibility for cleaning abuse.
Icymi, bearshares got rid of downvotes and where are they?
You are trying to do that to steem!
Thanks, alot!
LOL
Keep fighting the good fight....Look at that awesome trending page now because you guys DEMANDED better content lol
And what is abuse on Steem?
Someone didn't write a Pulitzer Prize article so it's not 'good enough' for the blockchain? Let's downvote it!!!
Your data points are clearly skewed, you should join sfr's discord and get your data direct.
Then you will see clearly what is abuse, and how much there is.
If you don't want to flag abuse, then don't.
But please, stop trying to make our job harder.
Until we have enough small fish to swallow the big fish, the big fish will continue to give ~25% of the pool to ten votes on 10 posts.

If you like things better since the downvote pool was enabled, you shouldn't waste the thing that made this improvement possible, imo.
You, of course, have to do what you do.
Few things...
I prefer people, rather than data. Data is skewed as is, because it doesnt take into account human capital and effort...But alas, that's a debate for another day.
Again, I have no issue with flagging / downvoting for spam and abuse like that...My issue is, and always will be, on 'opinion downvoting'.
I don't think I'm trying to make your job harder, but I guarantee downvoting makes my job harder.....Onboarding regular people!
Lol, just the ones that want to spam.
