RE: NEW Hive dApp: Hive Alive | Includes a 1st For Hive -> The UnTrending Report To Track Downvotes.

in #hivealive2 years ago (edited)

Thank you for the support @kriszrokk.
I have stopped speaking about this as I do not feel there is anyone who can bring value to this. Also I see that the ones who get downvoted are most of the time fighting it out alone, specially someone like me, who is always into minding my own business.
Yes I do get big votes, but I do not go and ask for it, for. People must be finding some value in my blog to give me good rewards and this is not about a month or two. I have been here on this platform for 4 and a half years and I have diligently done my work here with utmost honesty.
May be the topics I write on are not much valued here. In between I was getting downvoted every day for almost 2 months and the reason was a tiff between 2 people, which was clearly coming out. When I questioned I was told it was about reward equal distribution, but then again this does not apply to all and it probably applies to some guinea pigs like me.
Lately my 2 posts were downvoted and brought down straight from a value of $185 to $20, I wonder why did he leave $20 also. From which one post was about "What's your Hive Story", probably that's a gift from @curangel for being a committed member of Hive.
The downvoting thing has no rationalization, it's all about the personal clashes of the whales and their personal likes and dislikes.
Another thing may be they do not want that ordinary people like me should thrive here.
Honestly I have given up on this matter as the ones making the decisions are only controlling this, so there is no point. I will always be given some story.
There are many who consistently earn good rewards and I will say why not, what is wrong, after all we have also worked so hard to build this reputation for ourselves.
Power with good sense will make the community thrive else we should be prepared for a fall out again is all I can say.
I do not write any technical stuff as that's not my forte, whatever is my area of interest I will continue writing on that. I have received ample support from my communities and the platform and with those good vibes I keep moving and ignore the bumps on the way.
Thank you @ura-soul for bringing this up, atleast someone is talking loud about it. There was another one girl, I do not remember her name as it was long time ago, she had raised her voice very loud on this subject and I saw her getting thrashed by whales later on. It was such a sad thing that there was hardly any support that she received and everyone asked her to get quiet.
I would call this hooliganism.
Going through Hive Alive tool. It is a very helpful one to understand these patterns. Will look forward to some more analysis which are unique.

It's absolutely hilarious to see peeps here bitching about Facebook, YouTube & Co. while deploying the exact same behavior. I've been observing and studying the dynamics on this platform as it's a fantastic vessel that captures the human psyche and enables illusion to flourish even more. Then again, this is Kindergarten level and you shouldn't dwell on it. Not worth your energy.

Follow your intuition and do your thing Nainaz. Yes, you've got my support.
Enjoy the Festive season with your loved ones.

Without looking into your posts in great depth it sounds like you are experiencing the same problem as me. There surely can't be anything more likely to repel new (and existing) Hive co-creators than the understanding that if they get successful they may be zeroed out! I have yet to meet a single person who supports the behaviour of @curangel and @azircon here - even the people who disagree with my COVID19 posts generally publicly state that the downvoting is too extreme, especially if we are not going to ruin Hive's free speech reputation.

I think your description of the downvoting patterns is mostly accurate. I presume that Curangel has never given you an explanation as to why they are nuking your account beyond 'you have too much rewards'. I notice that I only see the big downvoting on your posts from the last couple of weeks, which suggests to me that they got annoyed with @kennyskitchen and the abundance tribe's voting and simply targeted whoever has the biggest payouts. This has the unfortunate appearance, at the same time, of shutting down the biggest posters on natural health topics on Hive - which will only fuel information warriors to engage the situation even more. This is part of why I said that the downvoters are slowly digging themselves a hole as public perception of health is rapidly changing and will be dramatically different moving forward.
