The thing is that people doing this vendetta also upvote themselves as they control some communities.
How do you explain that I have never been upvotes by OCD? In 2 years on Steemit? I must really suck...
And this happens to a lot of us. They say they don’t cross upvotes but they upvote their friends via their curating projects...
Sad.
Maybe back then there were more awesome content creators such as the makeup sisters for them to discover than us.
Indeed ! Maybe this is the case, but I see often the same authors being voted by the projects and the persons behind it.
Anyway ! This is life but they like to also downvote people not in their circle despite good content I.e @broncnutz, @jrcornel...
I don’t know these two accounts that well. But on my early days here, i got almost no support from either curie or ocd, i guess i’m just bad maybe. But lately I introduced some friends to join steem, who seems to get some support from different projects, which is of course a good thing to see.
That is a nice thing to hear ! Maybe they got better at helping minnows. Also I might earn too much per post now as my number of readers increased.
Well, this is life 👌
Maybe you have used tags that aren't seen by curators? Maybe there have been a lot of competitions at that time?
Curation projects like OCD and Curie have their own specific guidelines to follow. Maybe your content didn't pass the guideline. Not saying content is not good, but one of the common guidelines of these curation projects is being under-rewarded. Another thing that I know is both projects don't vote for crypto-related content and prefer original-content. We curators work very hard to spread our votes that are of course according to our guidelines. We use different methods to discover content like Steemlookup, manually looking at tags or "New" section, looking through self-promotion in Discords, looking at feeds for resteems, etc.
This is because their content still passes the guidelines.
I hope this clears it up. Cheers! :)
