RE: {Music Swap} I want to hear what you listen to!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I didn't realize it mattered what was posted; it's still content being shared. @intrepidthinker, you've invested a ton into this platform and it's pretty sad to see you get treated like this.

If it didn't matter then whales would have posts with 1 picture on trending daily, new users wouldn't receive curation cause everyone was busy upvoting themselves to even out the APR some people were giving themselves, etc. Steemit's trending is a pretty good example of this.
So now all my comments are being targeted and being downvoted just because I agreed with @intrepidthinker?
Dunno why you're being targeted with downvotes, not related to my issue probably.
I have never had this issue before. 😑
Could be it's about the upvoter, I censored his username from my post where I used him as an example in a topic recently, maybe someone was extra curious. Either way, I'm sure it's not an ongoing issue if you get curated by others.
You may have censored (not used) the names, but seems one way or another others are still looking into it "out of curiosity" and for my account (or my face) to be on your post is kinda not cool. I didn't do anything wrong and now my account is being attacked for zero reason.
Looks like the votes happened before my post so doubt it's cause your face is in my post, I can cover that part up if you'd like as I didn't give the censoring enough diligence. I can't really control who reads my comments and how they choose to act based upon it, and neither can I choose how your upvoter acted after my downvotes and comments asking him to reconsider his activity. Voting is 50% curation and 50% post rewards, so there's a high chance it's about the upvoters curation rewards in this case rather than your comments' content.
What's the point though? They're downvoting me just because "upvoter" upvoted my comment? Isnt that abuse of the platform? I mean, my account is tiny, and you might as well say I'm a newbie. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.
To remove his curation rewards I suppose. Happens some times, not all downvotes are great similar to how some upvotes can seem like abuse as well. Either way, edited the screenshot in my post, hope you guys give Hive a proper try eventually.
I appreciate the edit, and words of advice. I hope one day people can find a platform that's free to post what they want. Not everyone is knowledgeable about how the system works, so therefore there's room for mistakes, in which people shouldn't be penalized for.
There are platforms that don't care about these things at all, I personally think that encourages much worse behavior and removes a lot of the magic of this place. Don't think they have a lot of potential for growth but best of luck.
I hope one day people can just be kind and help one another. If there was rules, or a class to help one learn the "proper" ways of Hive, then I'm sure there wouldn't be many discrepancies. We're all just human, and striving for success in this vast world.
That's what I was doing, it's kind of weird to me that people react the way they do to a few downvotes after someone tells them that they way they've been doing things has caused them to unfairly earn rewards most others wouldn't get for the same activity.
Instead of just taking it personally and instantly quitting by the looks of it, maybe listen to what people possibly more experienced are trying to advise. Under other circumstances I would've gladly curated some of the original content with effort you guys had put out, some of that curation would've covered weeks of those other daily posts and especially what the recent downvotes have removed. Anyway, the rabbit hole is indeed deep and learning everything takes a while. Doesn't mean you gotta give up on the first mistake though unless you want to continue previous activity at all cost but realize you can't anymore.
