Personally I could. Not because it made more in rewards than me but because I disagree with it's rewards in general. That's what downvotes are supposed to be for though.
All that being said I seldom use downvotes due to most of the content I disagree with being part of a protected class that gathers more than any of your posts I've seen. My downvote is merely symbolic and would only lead to retaliatory actions so what's the point?
So you can unvote my post because you know my account doesn’t have a lot value to give you one nice back but you don’t dare to unvote accounts like @xxxxxxxxxx ?
Well I'm saying I could if I disagreed on the rewards, not that I did. As I said my downvotes would be for much larger rewards disagreement. That being said if you're content was earning those higher levels like those then yeah there should be no reason to not downvote it at only a picture either.
As for why I don't go after these larger users I already explained. My downvote in relation to their upvote power makes no effect of regulating their content. It's pointless as my stake has no power against them. Add to the fact they would likely retaliate then what becomes the point for downvoting at all since I affect nothing and would only harm myself?
If downvotes were to become normalized as @ericwilson alluded to then maybe there would be a community willing to step up in unison to large stakeholders. Until then it's nothing more than a photoshoot.
You should consider dividing your stake across a number of small accounts you don't use for posting. That way you can downvote whoever you want without any fear of retaliatory downvotes. You can use that same stake for auto-upvoting on a large number of authors you like to optimize vote time and thus maximize your curation rewards and completely negate any chance that even the biggest whale on the platform could touch your earning capacity in any shape or form.
There is thing you said that I am still learning about platforms like hive :D I didn’t understood all maybe cause my English lol but anyways enjoy your day 😘
I think the basis of all this is morally, if content curation were not a business that has been reserved for "curation teams", trails, etc., it would be logical for 20, 30 or 100 individuals to vote honest and the one who does not like his Downvote therefore, but that rewards possibly only one person gave it, on behalf of 50 who did not even see the photo and who might not even agree that it is good content.
I do not think it is a personal attack, however it is unfair that you can be the protection of a "user with power" who manages the vote of others (conspiranoia) and together squeeze the pool of rewards while we all watch without using the only method we have to do it.
What the fuck do you have against me? Pretty sure you'd prefer to be on my good side.
I am using your account as example, Because I know you make short content that make a lot money, and that happen with my selfie post and one guy think I deserve unvotes because was a post without “effort”
As someone who has been here since day 1, let me give you a little advice: You're going to get downvotes, just ignore them and move on.
