My flag wasn’t a retaliation for your downvotes.
I genuinely believed your short DBuzz post saying “oh look how much I can vote your posts!” was earning way too much than it deserved compared to other users who put lots of effort into their posts. 😁
Go ahead and upvote yourself. You certainly sound like a hypocrite though, considering 1 100% self-vote from you takes more from the reward pools of hive, Leo and PoB than 10 of mine could...
But hey, I certainly have no problem with people attempting to maximize the rewards of their stake. It actually incentives people to invest (knowing what they can get out of it). Then again, it seems like this corner of the crypto world has a bad habit of pushing away anyone with money or influence in the space (not saying I have either of those things, just my observation over the years)
I think downvotes should always be accompanied by a comment explaining the reason, otherwise it can lead to conflicts. Not taking sides or anything, onealfa never upvotes my stuff because he hates memes so there is not bias from my side :P
I can agree with that. In the future I will try me best to accompany every DV with a comment
Ideally I like to give a reason for DVs, but no way should it be mandatory. If we're to normalize DVs then the default reason is "disagreement with rewards".
