RE: The Pains of Being a Catalyst to Change
Don't worry, you also gather few new users which like me set you as a witness ;)
Overnight I lost a number of powerful autovoting whale blessing by the look of it.
To be honest.. that is actually ok. That is some kind of proof, that they from time to time reevaluate their auto-upvote settings. It would be much worse if people which do not agree with someone would still vote for that person.
I believe, that next problem which we have to fight is... auto-upvoting. It has nothing in common with real feedback and real support. I guess there are a lot of people which would prefer one honest comment rather than 100 auto-upvotes without any sign, that actually anyone care...
Nah man. I ain't worried. To be honest I feel pretty damn happy with how all of this ended up.
I see the problems with autovoting.. But I use it myself in order to help support people I figure need it on the network.. Would be double edged blade for me.. :/ I do agree whale's using auto-vote should CERTAINLY keep an eye on the content they're supporting though.
BTW, this is what you have just earned :)
Reversed engendered from @elyaque's badges, and hand made by me for you :)
Hell yeah! I am the ball!
Thanks man. That's neat and put a smile on my face. Much appreciated. :)
That's awesome , I love it ! 👍😉
Hi @noisy :) I read your comment and I've heard similar sentiments but after some thought, I don't think the auto-voting is the problem. Most of the money people make on their posts comes from that from what I can see, and those who would comment on that post will do so regardless of the auto-votes. As long as the people doing the auto-voting make a point of checking out the content of the accounts they have on their list on some kind of regular basis. If I were in a position to, (and perhaps someday I will be since my husband and I are discussing a potential investment into steemit), I would use a bot to vote when I was unable to do so manually. I say this even though I'm really big on reading the content I vote on as well as commenting on most of them, and would continue to do it as often as I am even if I used auto-voting too. But I've only been here four weeks and the more people I discover the more time consuming it is and very difficult to keep up on everyone. I've missed the 24 hour pay period for great posts a number of times, and I guess that actually is the underlying problem--it would be so much better if you had at least a few days before the payout so people would actually vote on older posts. But that probably has to do with the finite amount of money that's available to spread around.
I do appreciate the thought process behind what you said though, and that you are here supporting @klye, it likely means you are my kind of people and I'm going to check out your page now :)
As you say, I am one of the ones that prefers a comment than an upBOTe.
Yet, seeing shitposts, revamps and dressed up copypasta gathering a couple bunch of bucks when original content is ignored, only shows that there's something wrong in steemit.
