Wow, I wasn't expecting you to go to such lengths, but I'm super grateful, thank you!
I could question it further, but looks, sounds, and feels like I "got downvoted by the whim of a whale", which is a thing that can happen, and although I don't feel my piece comes anywhere near justifying such a thing, I'm at peace wit it and feel I've 'gotten answers to my question' at this point.
As for their motivation, perhaps they want to discourage quality content like mine? Or get me to move back to centralized platforms? Maybe they simply misclicked? I could seek to discover their motivation but my gut tells me just to let it go.
Fortunately some of the community stepped in to restore the rewards on this post in their own way ( @comet.ranker tipped 50 Hive and @dudeontheweb tipped 0.25 HBD), which I'm hugely thankful for and shows the power of the community to offset a whale when they band together. Only thing really missing is the nice 'rewards number' in the corner of my post so people would click on it more.
Anyway, I love the lines you've quoted and resonate with them. I'm all for discussion especially if it's 'mature', civil, and constructive, and I encourage the questioning of anything as well. Without questions there are no answers. :)
To conclude, thank you again so much for putting in the time and effort to find more about this, and for the validation that my piece didn't deserve it. You brought a smile to my day, and I appreciate it.
P.S. @mattclarke has been here a while and seen @alexanova scared off the platform, perhaps he knows more about this? Or @dandays or @nonameslefttouse may be able to shed insight? Either way, I'll just move on and let it be what it is, lol.) 🙏
I just saw this and barely skimmed backward enough to see what you guys are talking about. We have several hours left fostering these puppies but didn't want you to think I missed the memo.
All good bro, it was just a small curiosity I thought you might know more about. :) And since those adorable puppies are clearly a fantastic way to spend several hours, I highly encourage your fostering. #KeepRyzing :) 🙏
I wrote this in my notepad by the way since it's so got dang lengthy
Funny, I wrote 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘹 and then continued reading.
Scratch that. Now I have to tell a Rappers Delight story. I doubt this is what you asked for but it's what you get when you get me.Yard sale, I'm a regular back in the day—record shopping. I used to turn records, ok, ready? My buddy is behind me, the crate says "Vinyl - $1." I thumb and thumb and thumb (similar to now) and find Rappers Delight, the "original." I got excited, "Josh, check it out!" "Eh," the chick running the thing said "oh that one's $5." Funny. Where was I?
I keep forgetting to ask your editing process, there's gotta be more than one of you doing it. Lengthy ass content like that and only one typo is'fa king impressive.
This is lengthy already and I've yet to address your question but you're like.. 'lengthy, pshh!'
Is saying Einstein is genius a cliche or profundity or neither? Hashtag rhetorical. All I mean is back in the racing days when if you got caught cheating, you sacrificed points, they'd like you to believe cheaters never win. I hear mothers tell their kids that shit, look'em right in the eye and say it when I know for a fact the best cheater always wins. Cliche/profundity, remember, it's the first question in this paragraph.
Dear RyzeOnline.
Just as I didn't have to say everything I just said, I also don't have to explain to each producer why I Upvote their content. Dude I've never had a downvote near as substantial as the one you received here so it's like me telling you what it's like having children. I can not tell you what that's like. Understand my perceptive is altered from yours but I've never required explanation when whales Upvote me. I'm silently appreciative. However, we expect explanations when things don't go our way and, at the end of the day, expectations are not mandatory.
I didn't go through all 145 comments cuz I think 45 minutes on one piece is record breaking so someone might've said it already. Considering the message here, as twisted as what I'm about to say may sound, dude the only better example I could think of to put a period at the end of your story is a little bit more and zero that fucker out completely.
"Yellow and blue makes green." Bullshit, show me. "Downvotes suck!" Damn... you ain't bullshittin!
