it's a dagger in everyone’s heart

We shall overcome these dark times my friend. Stay strong!

This made me lol.

Honestly, if anyone has a complaint, it should be @josephsavage. It's probably hurting the initiative more than the people being downvoted.

Tis but a scratch. Community has come together to support each other. While a few have ducked for cover, the initiative is stronger than ever.

Well, nobody has rallied to his cause, so at some point he needs to decide if it's a worthwhile endeavor. Everything is working as designed, people just need to understand that.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Looks like other people share my concerns about downvotes.

I'm sorry you can't recognize irony. Are you on the spectrum?

I'm not just talking about the comments on this post. I'm looking at the general community and whats on the trending list, people are all bringing up their concerns about HF21 and the downvote abuses from whales, tribes, or bots. People are getting upset and no amount of downvoting my content on my posts will change the fact that dissent is increasing and toxicity is growing on this network.

I agree , how low can steemit go

Lol... I laugh when I get these tiny downvotes

But if some whale downvote you who has 4 mil SP than I will ask you how it feels

Me too, but some folks out there are losing their minds.

but some folks out there are losing their minds.

Tell me more.

Ha! I had fun making it. Glad you shared it, even if it is meant to be made fun of. 8-)

how very sporting of you!

I love watching decentralized governance in action. Everyone thinks they are right, and the truth is, they absolutely are!

Ha! I'm naturally predisposed to thinking that I'm right. 8-)

I just hope this platform takes off. Attacking members who bring value to this platform isn't going to encourage others to join.

Words cannot describe how I am feeling right now.

Moist?

Nope.gif

Lol

I get a few 'dust' downvotes, AKA fleabites. So what if I get 0.1% less of the magic money fountain? The good people far outnumber the trolls.

I bought them to support others. Don't give a shit what I make, which is cents. Buying votes for tens of dollars on a post is a very different thing that distorts the rewards model. Anyway, I only make beer money here for now. I give up on some rewards to help others. Is that a bad thing too? We need to be doing what we can to build up the Steem community. Downvoting over such a petty matter is counterproductive.

Did you know that you can buy a vote from bidbot for any post/author you want to support?

Buying votes for tens of dollars

tens hundreds

Guess who really wins from that...

I know who is losing

Everyone gets a say in how the rewards are distributed and you chose your way. I think Steem has bigger problems than SBI.

There is no 'right way' or 'wrong way', there is only the consensus after 7 days. If someone voting in opposition to a vote distribution mechanism is enough to sink this ecosystem, we have bigger issues. This is actually a good opportunity to educate those ignorant about downvoting, decentralized governance, proof of stake, and consensus. Steem should be shattering the mental models created by traditional social media. The opportunity cost of downvoting was just too high to accomplish that, so the uninformed user got spoiled for a long time watching the concept of voting being a one-way street.

The expectation needs to change, and if that means the people locked into that old mental model leaving, then so be it. I'd be willing to bet those same people would come rushing back at the first scent of a bull market.

stop flagging me or autofollowing flags on me dude.

Hey Kingsmind, I mean Kingscrown.

Does @blocktrades know you are using their 84k SP delegation for your elaborate pay yourself scheme? Like when you upvote your alts shitposts a few times per day, or when you 100% upvote your two word comments right before the 7 day payout? Thanks for the retaliation downvote. You're so concerned about the little account downvoting you.
