I read through this post and what caught my eye was the bit about self voting.
I’ve never fully understood the hive ethics around self voting.
It seems if you have a lot of hp it is frowned upon to self vote, as it is seen as milking the reward pool.
Though I’ve noticed there are still some big hp accounts that do it and yet they don’t seem to face any repercussions.
So in my case, I used to self vote when I was lower hp. It didn’t feel wrong to me. I figured I had invested in hive, I give real effort and time on my blogs or vlogs and I don’t tend to get these big whale upvotes, so me self voting a nickel is fair.
Even now, I’m on an upvote trail that when it votes I give a small vote too, sometimes my post gets voted and so I still get an auto self upvote. For some reason that feels fine to me. That and I’m a lazy fucker and don’t want to figure out how fix self voting upvote trail dilema.
There seems to be so many hidden rules in hive.
Am I a bad hive boy?
Maybe I need a DV bitch slap.
Now I’m not asking to be on your bot list. So I’m not so concerned
whether I’d lose an upvote if your bot discovered my leechery.
My kids account on the other hand. Thebombkids love to self vote🤣
I said to them that some people frown on that on hive. ‘Why’ they both couldn’t understand how if they could give 2 cents to themselves, why wouldn’t they.
But they were both excited to be on your bot list. ‘I wonder if i will get one of those slobber votes’
My son asked recently.
So, this long winded comment is
- part musing on…. Why is there such unclear hive self vote norms/ethics
- Will my kids really make them selves ineligible for a vote from your slobber bot if they 2 cent self vote?
If that is the case. I guess that is a good answer to their ‘why’ question
If they want to get the slobber….they best stop jerking the self chicken
LOL... a great comment that made me laugh!..
I'm not so full of my self-importance to think my rhetoric can change much but that did make me grin..
The self-voting code is not yet implemented though it will be soon. There's post and comment self-voting and the latter is severely frowned upon with the former being optional.
Yes, many unspoken rules, and I don't participate in either post or comment self-voting though I know some do. I don't need to, so why do it?
People do notice, and there's an awful lot of data parsing goes on, more than you would think.
That 2c is almost nothing, but my advice would to tell @thebombkids not to. Only the last 7 days will be checked (pending rewards), so any misgivings would quickly fall off the radar. The code doesn't check whether the voters are kids and compromise 😀
It seems you have powered up a lot since the old days..., well done you!
Good to know im not a leeching twat. Love that your slobber bot can deduce that!
I'll definitely let those punk ass @thebombkids know that if they want a slobber vote they better not be giving 2 cent selfies. It is not healthy to drink of the milk of self. Mal Leche!
