you have to understand that when (most) people downvote things they aren't doing it because it's fun, or because they have a vendetta against someone or because they profit off of it
I read a post accusing downvoters of always being hateful / spiteful only yesterday. I downvote a lot, mostly that dtube shit that is YouTuber's cross-posting their content (and using YT videos as the primary, not DT).
It's never personal and I would rather them stop all the bullshit and do something that creates activity. There's never any comments, and they are generally new accounts and pulling the HIVE into Binance that dtube blindly gives them regardless of quality.
I don't get anything out of downvoting, in fact I feel bad about it. There is no maniacal gleeful look when I'm hitting that button. I have a large stake in HIVE, paid by hard work and fiat.
At one point I was buying £500 at a time (in 2019 during the deep bear). The rewards need to go to the ones putting in the effort and I do my small part by releasing these rewards back into the pool.
I am not being sarcastic when I note your humble effort in this regard. All of us do benefit from that unpleasant work, and this is also true of everyone that acts to deploy their stake to defend all of us from parasitic extraction by mechanisms and ploys that abuse the rewards pool.
Not following that with a 'but, ackshually...'
Just wanted to be grateful, for once.
There is a lot less crap out there than during the STEEM days. I for one am pleased about that.
