Because no one has the heart to tell a lot of people their posts suck and it's better to just avoid leaving negative comments that further discourage the user. A lot of people assume once they are onboarded and post, everything they churn out is $ in the form of hand me down votes. There's more to platform than just content dumping and most don't get the social dynamics that go along with the ecosystem.
Hmm do you seriously mean that? Check mine. Check the posts of those who have been here for 2 years or more and what they post on the Actfit community and how they are rewarded.
The truth is people vote for those the whales vote for, they follow them blindly. When a whale voted on most of my posts last month (my first month of being active here) I had 400+ votes on some of my posts. Has my quality gone bad suddenly ?
In fact now that I understand the platform better I post better quality posts, you need godfathers here that is how I see it.
Just my honest opinion. I gotta to agree with @emmanuel.willy, they serve their own purposes. The response to my reply here by the opis adequate enough evidence lol.
I said, most, not all. Also, @ocdb has a program where they check in on a new user, and if their post is good enough then they would upvote. It seems their curators liked your content so they are continuing to reward your posts.
I stand by my opinion that most newbies do not share good posts. And if you think that someone in actifit community is getting rewarded undeservedly, maybe ask @smooth to downvote said posts. If he agrees that it is undeserved, he would gladly downvote those posts.
And, do not forget that this platform is as much a blogging platform as a social media platform. To be seen you have to make connections and interact with people, that is how it works. You are not entitled to a whale vote or any other vote for that matter.
As a side note, people vote for what whales vote for because under certain threshold rewards they get from a post gets halved. This issue would be remedied with the coming hard fork.
Thanks, I won't respond to this.
To get things right - we need to step back and see why this discussion was even started.
I gave a suggestion and whether it is accepted or even considered or not is not mine to defend
I am just another newbie
Thanks for the response.
