Yea writing about downvotes is low hanging fruit because it is such an avoided topic. I think people want to talk about it though and my comments section shows that.
Me upvoting comments helps people to participate but I think that is how HIVE should be used. One reason engagement is so low on this platform (imo) is people optimize voting for rewards vs optimizing for engagement.
Increased communication on HIVE is good as it gives us an opportunity to refine our understanding of how the platform should be used.
Downvoting topic always been hot here on hive specially if the guy you downvoted took hive as one of its income. Some of these people engage here to whine because they got downvoted, but i often encounter them to other social platforms happily engaging to gossip. Lol. Ohh yeah.. gossips are another way of good conversation, might be as good topic like downvoting..😝
I think it is a hot topic because of the way HIVE is presented. HIVE is presented as anyone can come here to post and make money.
People with no stake or high KE wonder why they don't get upvotes or may even get downvoted. It is because being a good stakeholder matters.
I don't think it is a problem if people live off HIVE. I think a lot of people try to live off HIVE without understanding what HIVE is.
Like there are people on here that have setup a lot of accounts and have them all seem like different personas. If someone just made 1 account and made good posts and became a good stakeholder it would be less effort and more profits.
using multiple became normal in the form of HIVE games where chances for rewards became more of a target to have profits. Maybe because of this that even hive itself was treated like this by multiple account users. Just a hunch though.
Possibly. I do think creating alt accounts in video games is a lot different than creating HIVE accounts with different pfps and personas as if they are each a different person.
This time around yes. If you remember the time that give aways are reigning hive, probably there are lots of users that have multi's that do multiple "count me in" comments.
