RE: Do we forget about those who buy STEEM in the market? we want to kill small and large investors with the flag war spreading like a wind on Steemit now.
You have to differ between the small downvotes which aren't worth anything and just used for trolling, and the bigger ones used to balance rewards.
The former don't do anything except giving a small sting to the ego, and I see them as a part of normalizing them, so they're not even bad. There's dislikes on youtube, do those keep off content creators?
The big ones are used to stop people from different forms of self voting. Like bid bots, trading is a form of this too. If you upvote others just to get their vote, it's nothing but a covered up self vote. Slowwalker does this and nothing else, so people exchanging votes with him get targeted.
Hi @pharesim
Of course you want to defend what is happening because it has become part of your job now that you have worked hard to promote the downvote.
I'm worried you must also see everything that happens next to what you explain. There are users who have no idea why the red flags come from, do not help if it is from large or small accounts. It gets completely wrong when they have done nothing wrong.
They earn a little money on their post and are lucky that a bidbot has given them upvote without paying that bidbot. Later, there is a downvote due to the fact that they got a vote from bidbot and lost their reward. You can't believe I shouldn't be worried
You have to understand that red flags are also seen as punishments when they have done no wrong, so I want to highlight that someone has a different agenda than what is meant by downvote and flagging
Do people feel punished for dislikes on youtube, and stop creating videos because of them? Stop being overdramatic.
Hi again @pharesim
you for collecting it as you please
but you did not comment bidbot
I wrote a post going into details. People will get used to downvotes being as normal as upvotes. It's difficult to switch the mindset about them after being flags for so long, but that was a mistake that is being corrected. Takes time.
thanks @pharesim,
it was nice to hear that it will be fixed 👍
