Aww, I’d like to say yes but no, I’ve full comment-voted before. Only when I feel that I’m getting ass-raped by the platform though. More often in the last 3 weeks than ever. I think my first full comment-vote was only a few weeks ago though. I’ve refrained previously.
Yeah, I guess. Feeling pretty negative about steemit at the moment. Enjoying the writing but hate the way people keep saying how community based it is when maybe it is more weighted towards feeding those at the top. Pyrimad schemes got their name from that model.
Anyway, I’m still posting, hopefully, with some validity and haven’t quit my day job yet. I don’t use bidbots.
who knows, maybe things will get better after hivemind updates or perhaps worse. Seems that the 'code is law' overrides any sense of community here though.
Back in Fuedal Japan when two Samurai met on the road they would either do battle or not. Often battle ensued as one would want what the other had. One would die by the sword.
Actually, I’m not sure if that happened at all to be honest, but who cares, seems like anything goes on steemit! :)
as for the sense of community, ive been reading the posts on the flagging wars, and its interesting because ive heard from some that opinion flagging isnt a thing, then heard from another that the flags were meant to be a battle. im a bit concerned about this as time goes on, because of how polarizing opinions can be, and how vindictive people can be. when it comes to money, very few will not be swayed by it and they will change their behavior accordingly. its kinda creepy in a way... social engineering.
indeed.
Edit: btw, was that your first full proper comment self-vote?

no point in doing it really. not worth it even though it might make you feel better :)
