RE: To Auto-Vote or not to Auto-Vote in #NewSteem?
I completely disagree with the notion that if any two accounts support/vote for each other, it is bad or even a CJ. Lets say me and x started Steemit around the same time 2 or 3 years ago. We never knew each other, but liked each others work. Now for years we vote and comment and joke with each other. I would say till the death that is not a CJ. That is just mutually supporting a friend. Now as the numbers grow, does that change the point? I have not invested money into Steemit. I have earned it the hard way. Never once used a bot. So I can understand those that put in real fiat dollars want to get a tiny something back. It is like a dividend on a stock.
I tend to agree with that, but it seems that some people don't. Actually, more people seem invigorated by the new free downvotes to curbe that sort of behavior.
Sure, those people seem to stick to high value posts for new, but I wonder if they'll also start moving towards the lower payout posts. I don't know if you check out some of Exyle's video's, but in one of his latest ones he talks about how Steem is getting "less fun", because you can't even post short content anymore (a couple of pictures for example).
I'm not a big fan of that, the whole point of a social media website is the ability to share what you want. Sure, spamming plagiarized pictures is obviously wrong, but now people take offense to posting original pictures as well, if they're not accompanied by a long article.
Exactly right. I never understand why some folks feel they need to constantly tell others how to behave. It is a very slippery slope once we start having a witch hunt simply because a post doesn't have the "minimum" number of words or photos. We need more people here using the site so let's not try to drive off those that may not have the time nor the desire to do long form posts.
