RE: {Music Swap} I want to hear what you listen to!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
As for the rest of your comment, try curating and engaging with posts in the many music communities on hive, I'm sure it'll get people to give you a follow and engage with you on your posts that may have more reasonable upvotes if you jumped off that service until you got more engagement over time for it to naturally come back from many different users in occasion cause they want to reward you rather than doing it cause the service you signed up for is giving them part of your daily voting power.

@acidyo Man honestly, this has done nothing but discourage me, its pretty disheartening to have every one of my posts practically zeroed out by someone who is pretty hefty and well connected. Are you guys currently downvoting all of the people who are involved with Backscratcher? Or was I just singled out? I noticed that you did this right after I took my witness vote away from you.
I've noticed that the tribalism on Hive is pretty prevalent in a negative way in my opinion. This is supposed to be a platform built upon freedom, and people shouldn't be strong armed just because they aren't doing exactly what you are doing. Or their mentality doesn't align with yours. I'm an average laymen that is making an effort to water my investments in my free time and trying to be involved with a newer technology that I believe in.
This "literally" has made me just want to pull out my investments and go elsewhere. I realize who you are, and that you are practically a political figure on here with tons of pull and influence. I know now that I will be targeted and probably harassed because I have been labeled as someone who has completely took advantage of the system.
There's only so much time in a day, while I'd gladly look at others using the service and intervene you did catch my attention due to the witness unvote that's true. You would've caught my attention by a witness vote as well, matter of the fact doesn't change that you're doing what I said you're doing and it goes against what Hive stands for that many agree with.
Downvotes should be encouragement and the long reply I left you should also considered that I care and want you to do better. Going around downvoting doesn't give me any joy or reward me in any way, I'd just want what's best for the community and at the same time yourself, do with that what you will.
Just know you lost a good one. You could have chose to speak to me instead of shooting first.
The fact that this is your decision and reaction to a few small downvotes after months of milking your own votes through vote trading tells me more than I need to know.
90% of my votes were done manually. Distributed to all kinds of different people that I found fit. There has been no months of milking going on. Those downvotes might be small to you. Its a pretty big deal to me. Also this was just the straw that broke the camels back. I've seen a lot of unneeded aggression and mob mentality going on that has grossed me out. Tribalism isn't always a good thing. It's the root of many problems in the World. And you're continued shot firing tells me that I'm right in my decision to leave.
You have literal daily posts of close to no content while on a trail whose name literally means you get all your votes back. Most of your posts have no interactions, even if you rewarded those few that do. You have two handful of comments the past couple years.
If my downvotes seem that bad to you, the upvotes you've been receiving seem even worse to me. This isn't a place where "hey I bought this much stake so now I'm going to make sure I can upvote myself with all of it through some schemes that make it look like I'm not", post rewards aren't guaranteed and they shouldn't be constant no matter what you produce. If that was the case then there would be no point to have content to begin with and just run pure proof of stake.
My downvotes don't even cover a fraction of the unfair rewards you've gotten away with while bringing close to no value to our social media platform. Fair would be to downvote you for longer to make up for the months but that's being petty and I tried to explain to you why that's not welcomed here and why it goes against proof of brain and the standards of curation people have set here.
Man, look passed the last month that I started my music sharing thread. All of my content was completely my own. I was designing clothing, and canvas prints, making videos, doing photography. I've actually provided tons of great content to this platform. You are definitely over exaggerating. It seems like you are just mad at me for some reason and wanting to shit on me for some reason. I'm not the villan you are painting me out to be, just because I was on Backscratcher. At least do me that justice to save me some face.
I did notice those posts, I also noticed you didn't post them in any related communities. Had I noticed them at the time I would've recommended you do so so you'd receive some traffic from people interested in the subject rather than most if not all of them getting no consumption. This could've lead to some natural curation as well rather than just the backscratching. Maybe you could've realized then why going out and curating others is important, dunno.
It's not too late to give it a try, everyone makes mistakes, no need to "save face" when you can just stop the current activities and put your voting power to use and give back to the community and go from there.
If not, then, you know, not trying to be a dick but that stake is probably better used on someone else in the future.
Hive curation is very welcoming when people put an effort into it, you could just as well power down and sell it all, make it look like I'm some asshole who chased you away and in the same go I or a project of mine will be there to welcome you to the community on a new account you'd maybe consider trying something else with, something along the lines of what I suggested. You won't even have to power up any stake and receive rewards and curation based on your effort, that's the magic behind using it well rather than everyone just scratching their own backs and ignoring everything else.
For years it has been my own original laborious content. I just wish you would have noticed me then. Instead of this new music thread I was attempting to let gain traction.
I wish that too, it's most likely due to the tag usage only that most curators didn't.
