Look at me (no really, look!), I’m even replying. @Likwid helped contribute to me leaving the platform left three months ago dude—after three years of producing content. Something had to give. That and his @transisto account too. They downvoted several of mine to the tune of negative 15-20 bucks back when I was still producing. Then he’s teamed up with others with highly misappropriated delegations who preach Twitter #posh, and vote authors based on stupid shit like their body position when they piss or the next pumped coin.
This reply is sofa king long I’m thinking maybe I should address “Hive,” “Bitcoin,” and whatever other topics interest the cute little whalies wallets because as much as they run this platform, they run quality out.
Ok, it’s passed my stoned time, next time I come here I’ll have completely forgotten what I was frustrated about. Nice to ’see’ you again dude.
I know this one! ”I get it.”
Perfect storm, eh. NoNames, How’s the weather?
Cloudy but clear.
Nice rambling, keep producing. 👌
Produce what? These shitposts of jrcornel that you love to upvote?
As a curator, I'm tired to try find decent content and more well distributed shares to improve the quality of this platform, everyday, to then, have people like you screwing it all.
This place has all kind of authors and public with different tastes. Your narrow mind and bias makes you vote what you like, and downvote arts because you just don't like them. Even if the art post has countless hours of work behind, and the trading post has just a couple of captures, links and sentences.
Well done, dude! Let's reward and punish, just by our tastes... that's very good for Hive (sarcasm intend).
Seriously man.. you could use your huge vote power to make Hive a more better, attractive, and profitable place for you and everybody, instead this crap...
Nice bullying. Keep pushing people away.
Are you mocking me now? Feel like a tough guy?
Typical bully. You have no power over me though. You're not even good at bullying. More or less just acting like any other random teenager online. Making yourself look foolish at the same time. You're probably feeling insulted right now and won't be able to control your anger and frustrations that stem from your own actions. Mad at yourself but you'll prefer to shoot the messenger. That's what a bully would do though.
I suggest finding ways to improve your self esteem. That will help you. I don't take it personally that you act the way you act. I know you can't help it but you can do things to improve yourself. That's up to you though. Not me.
You have a sad profile picture and now acting like an entitled clown.
I though you'd enjoy sadclown.gif
That's a quote from the post above. The first post you downvoted of mine also states the downvotes don't bother me. At the bottom of this post in the update it says I don't care about the hissy fit mass blind downvote you handed out.
Clearly you have an issue with reading comprehension. You thought downvoting could be used as a show of strength. Then assumed you could use the 'entitled clown' or 'entitled baby' argument because you expected me to be whining about the downvotes. That's not the case though.
Again. Your bully tactics have no power over me. You've failed.
The profile picture doesn't represent sadness. Tears are not made out of blood. It has more to do with death. You can see how the eyes are closed. I produced that image myself.
I do like clowns. But I can see how you're attempting to use that as some kind of a weapon in an attempt to make me appear weak. That won't be happening.
I offered some valuable advice in the post here. Many other posts of mine contain good advice as well. I think if you took the time to read it, and spoke to me as you would anyone else when you don't feel like acting like a bully, we'd be able to make some progress.
I wouldn't mind talking to you but at this point I think you're more about acting petty. If you feel like talking, you know where to find me.
I do suggest you stop bullying folks though. Especially since you don't like more than half of the effort here, according to your recent low quality post. You'll just end up alienating far too many folks if you can't find ways to control yourself. You said I'm acting entitled but it's clearly you who wants their way and wants it now, so you'll throw a fit, which is what you're doing, unfortunately.

I'm placing this here because I feel it sheds a lot of light on where your mind is and why you're downvoting artists, photographers, etc. This helps prove a lot of my points here today.
You simply don't like things. You want control. It bothers you that others like things you don't. You feel they're in the wrong for enjoying things you don't. You'd prefer to move the goalposts so the system better suits what you value. You basically look down on majority of the people here and have no respect for them.
You don't understand this industry. If you're downvoting arts and entertainment, all while wanting this platform to go mainstream, your actions actually contribute to making it far more difficult to achieve mass adoption. As my post clearly states, the market for arts and entertainment is massive. You're attempting to stall progress simply because you don't like it. That's irrational and I told you that under your most recent @likwid account post, which is quoted here in this post.
Artists and entertainers know a lot about this industry. You should learn about these things, especially since you're invested. You'd have to step down from your bully role first though and recognize the fact the talent that surrounds you doesn't exist just to piss you off. Curb your entitlement issues and we can make progress.
It worked, I forgot already.
I'm really curious to know how ocd/ocdb "teamed up" with transisto if you're referring to us with the #posh preachers. I have no memory of having downvoted you, in fact I do remember curating you as all of our votes are manual and aside from compilation posts and now the upcoming community collaboration the majority have been cast by me.
Yeah went and checked real quick and scrolling down with the ocdb account I could see about 15 votes and no downvotes on your account so maybe you were talking about someone else. :p
Don't take it personally. People get frustrated, start seeing red, everyone starts blending in and looking the same. Even had to correct myself here a couple times to make sure I direct my frustration at the true problem and not everyone as a whole. It's not easy. I'm currently talking to someone who's afraid to talk here and now. The whole Hive vibe was ruined for them too because of this same individual being a menace.
I generally agree with the post and your opinion. It's kind of stupid people are complaining about trending being shit and then when big accounts attempt to co-operate to get other type of posts to trending with bigger votes (and in turn sacrifice curation rewards due to bigger votes - not to mention ocdb almost always votes late and has shit CR efficiency) to then get disincentivized even more by downvotes. No wonder other big accounts only cast 8-15% votes on content with no rewards to maximize CR and stay off trending.
The term overrewarded is lame in my opinion, they're either not used to the sudden spike of the price or keep seeing rewards as the displayed one and not considering the 50% going to curators. I was sad to see @rainite get downvoted on his post as if $100 is too much to make these days.
It's super annoying to have my work finally make the trending page then have to sit and watch people complain about what's there constantly. They're never specific, but it would make more sense to single content out rather than throwing us all under the bus. So that's been bugging me, I'll be honest. I don't feel like I've done something wrong to deserve that hatred. Doing well here is fucking frowned upon. Nobody ever checks to see that I got there honestly, after years of trying and doing well. That ends that part of the rant.
So many problems would be gone if people could simply mind their own business and learn to celebrate success. I've been saying that forever. Nobody cares it seems, they just keep bitching and don't give anyone credit for a job well done.
I also said this in a comment here:
I've already seen this happen on Steem and now it's starting here. I also said what's happening with these abusive downvotes is the worst thing that could happen to content on this platform, but it's happening. I'm not wrong. Been doing this for years. Not just some moron trying to collect tokens with shit posts. I've studied the business model, watched the people, seen the results.
Those free downvotes were part of the EIP deal to help combat abuse since abuse was running rampant. People are using them for stupid reasons like, "I don't like your post." Only a monkey would slap everything they don't like.
Promoting other platforms, misappropriating delegations were just two—not to be confused with each other.
No, you’ve never downvoted me, thanks. I’ve never downvoted you either.
I'm curious if you see #posh as us promoting twitter when it's obviously meant the other way around, though. :P
Uhmm, I see it as promoting twitter more than Hive. I also see a lot of down votes on accounts for platform cross posting being called plagiarism when it is their own content. People trying or cross platform posting from their YT site, to steem, to hive, to 3speak, dtube, on Hive they need to have proof or ask permission of a non-centralized authority to post their own content here it seems. The only place I watch non music YT videos is on Hive post, I do not as a rule visit YT.
I had a twitter account, I never liked twitter, and I am pretty sure if people pulled their twitter content into HIVE, it would be down voted automaticaly after a bit, just like what happened to the platform sharing app that used to be available on Steem.
I am not much of a content maker, just a content reader, a real content reader. I watched as Authors were driven off of Steem because they were sharing their published works with the people on steem, some were looking for suggestions and using steem as a feed back site, they are gone, because of the actions of a very small group of people.
For now there is still some good content, some professional and some amateur content, the continued lopsidedness of a few accounts being able to control the type of content that is made available is/will be the death of Hive, just as Steem is dying a slow death and content type is being controlled by a central authority.
There is a serious need for people to re-evaluate the witness selection/retention system, and the down vote system.
