This is the way I see it - my blog is a showcase of me as a person, my writing, who I am, what I stand for, it is a reflection of my personality.
It's like you're in my head!
Why would I want to dilute my account with hundreds of random posts?
Indeed. Most/none of which have been read probably. The spam-rebloggers probably just click the button and move on. Senseless.
I think a spammer is going to spam and will simply copy and paste a generic reason.
Sadly yes.
Ecency promoting it by incentivizing it with points is an avenue for abuse
They incentivise reblogging? Is that true? Ecency seems fucken retarded. (Some one will probably take offence to that I guess.)
I've just checked this out - you get 1 point for reblogging a post, it's not very much but it's still something. I suppose it's probably not a very strong reason for somebody to reblog something in all honesty
Dafuq!
Offense taken.
I figured someone would, but chose to use my freedom of speech regardless. Thanks for letting me know.
You know, as well as anyone, that when you are promoting a contest or starting a new community that reblogs are beneficial in getting the word out. I won't use my freedom of speech in this case.
I do know that, for sure, but one person blasting 20 reblogs onto my feed doesn't sit well with me as I have stated in this post. 20 people reblogging one each onto my feed (that they have read) wouldn't be a problem. There's a distinct difference. I'm not trying to convince anyone, they'll all do as they please, as it their right.
Entire reason Points exist is to encourage and increase engagement on platform. There is diminishing effect formulated in that will decrease reward after your first reblog. You can learn more about points in https://ecency.com/faq page if have any doubt.
