@itharagaian Here. Now his comment is worth 31 cents.
The point of flags is not in "earning".. Its in voicing an opinion... No better way to voice an opinion then by casting a vote or a downvote.
You disagree on rich people deciding if other users may gain something? I guess you hate whale upvotes as well? Seems to serve your logic.
Anyways.... a balance needs to exist. If someone can vote you up then another user needs to have the opportunity to vote you down for whatever reason.
The community needs to decide if what is taken from the reward pool is justified. And to be fair he upvoted himself for 30 cents, while to poster upvoted himself for 300 dollars.
Whatsup didnt say his post wasnt worth anything. He said it wasnt worth 300 dollars. And its not. Especially not a self upvoted 300 dollars.
If self upvoting is bad... Then whatsup just stole a pack of gum, while the author robbed a bank..
Those are the orders of magnitude we are dealing with here.
Then you all should better rush the trending, but maybe you wonńt because those could fight back
Voicing an opinion is voting or not voting
I have nothing against whales votes, they can vote whoever they want
Fight back? Those that buy upvotes cant really "fight back" or they wouldnt need to buy upvotes. They would just selfvote.
Its not about fearing retaliation its about sharing an opinion, sending a message:"I think this is wrong what you are doing".
ok i see your point.
Also I didn't check the author's auto voting for that much, but i am sure he is not the only one doing it...
Well I don´ t know tbh, I just know that some abuse the downvote and it makes people fly away to other platforms.
Downvotes, as I said impact also curators rewards
And why small users do not have the opportunity to downvote and also impact rep and reward ? that is what I call the unfair part
Even on youtube downvotes do not impact the earnings, seems to be a healthy platform though
I hope you see my point too
Almost 4am here, I will read further comments and reply after a good rest :)
I don't autovote.
Sorry, I am NOT english native so I make errors, I meant self voting
You mean flagging a dung post which got 400 is wrong? You should take a swim
