Well, I'm new here and don't know everything about how things work. Perhaps, it is too good to be true and somehow I preferred believing the good. I thought people here really value simplicity. Like voting for a simple day journey of a bartender. Maybe the world isn't actually that nice 😁
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You've been duped and mislead by false advertising. You're one of thousands. This member paid for this slot on the trending page.

A minnow will not earn anything by voting for a post with this many votes.
Would you pay Walmart for leaving a flyer in your mailbox and be excited about having a chance to read it? In a nutshell, that is what people are doing when they vote and get excited over these trending posts.
Majority of the posts on trending are advertisements/paid programming. The things we skip when we want to watch a Youtube video.

One issue is that we all have different visions and everyone thinks theirs is the best one. (of course, if not they would change it)
Don't let anyone else tell you how to view the platform.
There is no central authority on how it works or what it should be.
All you have to do is read the context and you'll see how that new member was misled by false advertising. That's fact, not opinion. It's right there in front of you.
Why are you attempting to discredit what I said?
And here's a post explaining how the use of bots is advertising/marketing/paid programming; whatever you want to call it:

You're in that post cheering on this terminology and supporting it. Why not stand by your words?
