I see your reblogs pop up on my feed, all are ignored, as I do with the others. I don't think you're helping those people. A few a day is what, 21 a week? Hmm, that's 14 too many in my estimation. But I'm not here to tell people what to do.
As you can read in the comments of this post, people unfollow those who spam-reblog. I have unfollowed for that reason also, and will again. I believe it needs to be thought about, calculated. A user has a responsibility to those who have chosen to follow them in my opinion. Or, should accept that they'll lose good followers. It's a surefire way to become isolated quickly. And for what, the act of reblogging? Hmm.
I acknowledge that you read them, I do also when I reblog, which is rarely. It's good that you do as many probably do not judging by the low quality of what I've seen around the place.
There is a mechanism in place that will limit how many you reblog already, it's called you. Just choose no more than one a day and you're done. But again, that's not advice, just a statement.
I completely agree with this and on a personal level, everyone is responsible for making their own decisions. And I'll take your statement as good advice from someone with much more experience than me on Hive ;)
And I get the point that maybe for me 2 or 3 reblogs in a day are few but when you add them up every day they are a lot.
I have stopped following accounts that flood my feed with 20 reblogs in a row. Moreover, I usually look at the feed in the favorites where the reblogs don't appear.
This post wasn't designed to tell people what to do, just understand how others were feeling and it seems they feel the same as me, mostly.
Sometimes people do things with good intentions in mind but the reality of it is the opposite. I think that's what happens with this reblog thing. They think it helps, and it probably would if they only did one really good one a day, but the reality is it is spam, disrespects the followers (generally speaking) and doesn't help at all.
The fact that you've unfollowed accounts that do it says it all. I don't want this post to come across as advice, but I certainly think there's more to lose than gain when reblogging indiscriminately.
Of course, I know that. And no matter how you and some others feel about this, people will keep reblogging
But it's good to know about others' thoughts on topics related to Hive. Especially if those who express their thoughts are users that I consider good role models.
So thank you for raising this topic. Have a great day! :)
You're right, excessive spam projectile-vomit reblogging will continue, as will unfollowing those who do it.
Have a nice day. It's Friday here, yay!
