I am genuinely curious: what is the point of downvoting?
Do you gain something by downvoting?
If there is a post I don't like I just keep on scrolling and pay no attention to it.
And - bonus question - is your downvoting the reason why your comment says "This content got low rating by people"?
I go over there and punch the robber under his jawbone :)
This makes me laugh. You have the HP to do it and not be affected by it. Whenever I've tried that, I've ended up under a rain of DV's for a week haha.
It’s a perfectly fine personal safety decision.
Yep, that's why we keep walking. There's other ways to influence though, like setting a good example, not giving the bad players any air, or gentle suggestions, or reporting them to people like you who can punch them into next week!
hm, I am not sure those two situations are the same at all ... I only once have witnessed a robbery and did intervene, in my own unique way ~ by throwing rocks and scaring the robbers away. But, I do see your point, I tend to avoid conflict when possible and you confront it head on :)
I totally understand what you are saying. I don't want it to sound like I was being judgmental, I was simply asking for your reasoning for being -in your own words - one of the biggest downvoters on Hive. You are totally free to upvote and downvote as you wish. Cheers to you and thanks for the explanation!!
The purpose of downvoting is typically reward disagreement. By downvoting to typically send part or all of the potential rewards back to the reward pool
No you don’t gain anything by downvoting, it is community service. You keep the network clean of spam or bad actors
thank you so much! The welcoming vibe is exactly why I am a proud Hive'r and plan to stay that way.
All the best to you!
By the way, I am one of the biggest downvoter at hive :)

Bonus answer:
Yes. Anything I comment or write gets automatically downvoted. I don’t mind :) Doesn’t bother me the slightest bit.
I remain one of the most active community members at hive and a top 20 hive stakeholder:)
very interesting! I had always wondered about that so, thanks for explaining it to me
That’s the difference between you and me. You don’t like something you keep scrolling.
You see someone getting robbed, you keep on walking. It’s a perfectly fine personal safety decision.

I understand.
I get my share of DV too, as you can see. But obviously I can handle it.
Yes, it’s better me me than anyone else. That said I am not the only one with HP you know:)

Perhaps give me a benefit of doubt because you don’t know the details of how this blockchain works?
It is similar though not physical like a robbery. But digitally it’s the same.
Reward pool is common fund. You and I both share it until day 7 at payout
I can make 50 posts per day. Vote them all up. Ask all my friends vote them. Then I will suck all the reward pool for myself.
Nothing will be left for you.
I can safely say that’s robbery of the reward pool.
Trouble is I can’t do that. Because if I do, others will DV me and take the potential rewards away before day 7 at payout.
That is why DV exists.

You have quite a "fan base", what a waste of time and resources. They should go to B🤬 and be "happy" 🤦🏻♂️
