I see all the incoming downvotes as racism. jk.

So, if you are dull, don't try to be intelligent or clever, but understand what it is that is making you dull.

Don't know if it's the right thing to do or not.

But if I would get downvoted for a reason that I don't agree in, I would just go ahead and upvote myself to recover the losses from that downvote. (Meaning REP loss, idc about the steem payout)
(I don't normally vote for myself)

Like IDC what people do with their stake, they are free to downvote me, because that's their decision, and their right to do so.

EDIT: And also I lately I have noticed that steemit community doesn't accept oppinions from small stake holders (Like me).
If I go somewhere and just want to say out my oppinion, I find myself being flagged for a couple of days.
Like jeez, fine I won't tell y'all what I think when I get treated like that.
1 Oppinion less.
[This hasn't happened to me lately, since I have been holding back]

I was told the otherday to use honey instead of vinegar when downvoting and criticizing poor behavior on the blockchain (people were encouraged to resteem and comment a bid bot abused token shill for 1 steem) because that's why Americans voted Trump.
Now I am curious who is the Trump of Steem?

Trump / Honey / Poor Behavior within 1 sentences, you sure are fast with thoughts! Love it!

Would you like to explain a bit plz?

Some would argue that we have Trump as president right now because people got sick of being told what they should think and feel. Honey works better than vinegar...

He was upset that I said people who resteem the spammy bidbot abuse crypto shill for 1 steem should be ashamed. He said I actually encouraged him to do it because I said it is shameful.

I haven't replied, but feel free to do or suggest.

yes let me check

your judgment is intact, what a slaughter that comment section is... awful... only if there would have been a way to avoid it

I told him to leave you alone, because you have only the best intentions in mind

Thanks. To be honest I got bored of talking to him. I just wanted to be sure I understood what he was saying.

Did you read that part:

Now, if you happened to use a different approach, you might very well have my support.

What an a*hole. As if you'd need his support to stand your ground.

That's a sure sign of someone who could be trolling. Can't stop everyone from behaving badly. However, I'm sure a few people saw the top comments were all controversial and decided they better pass, not to mention the number of downvotes received.

Steem will not get any better with his attitude. Also, if we treat bad behavior with honey (we tried for 3 years), it doesn't exactly lead to a good outcome.

You won't believe #6!

was that the clickbait meme?

It’s a common headline on Facebook.

10 things other than sex your girlfriend wants to do in the bedroom, you won’t believe #6!

Some shit like that usually.

Are we on the click bait era already?

The title is 90% of your post, this is true regardless of your media.

Indeed. But good titles isn't the same as clickbait. Clickbait is shitty and lazy work.

My favourite was when someone insulted me for downvoting them, then said English wasn't his first language. Apparently he had no idea how offensive it was to tell someone to have intercourse with their mother, cat and themselves because yeah, different culture.

Saying to that person that:

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

cought in a landslide?

escape from reality ! (4sure)

I think I will start downvoting when I see the same people upvoting an author all the time. Add that to number 11.

Your mind is already on its way to the graveyard.

Just following the trend here. 😬😬 Clearly you just downvote according to how you are feeling on that day.

Why do you want to respect other people's feelings and points of view? Are you afraid of having your own feelings hurt, your point of view being changed? If people have opinions that differ from yours, you can find out if they are true only by questioning them, by coming into active contact with them.

Downvoting will do that job!!!

Tried that honestly. How would you describe someone who downvotes content that has been promoted using a bid bot that only accepts steem engine tokens even if it is a 1SBD upvote, but just ignores content from any other bid bot?

Does that sound legit to you if that ever happened to you?

Lol I don’t get why people can’t distance themselves from their content and stop swings downvotes as a personal attack on their soul

I use my 2 daily DVs all the time now and people will ask me why I DV even when they grossly bid botting like are you a simpleton of some sort or did you really think reward farming was going to last?

Already seeing some of them stop posting and powering down lol! Long live the Down vote

YES throw them out! FcK them hard!

Ridged or rigid? I've heard most of those. I downvote/flag by my own principles on anything I happen to find or have brought to my attention. Only wish I could do more to make Steem better

Thanks. I meant rigid (fixed).

Ribbed for extra pleasure

Come again?

:D

Applys to a lot of ppl in this comment section, that's why I laugh. I don't think that you behaved like that, would not fit my experience with you!? Why you ask?

  ·  5 years ago (edited)

I'd bet my ass, that you're a person that downvoted ever since! And on whatever you didn't / don't like :D

Look at your icon, that sun is angry!

But you are a very special case indeed, now that you finally like the way the explore page looks, for the price of open warfare all across the blog... even this very post is being downvoted tremendously...

What would be your honest bet, STEEM hitting 0.01$ or hitting 1.00$ next?

No need to answer,... I just wanted to gift you this very special thought.

It won't go to 1¢, so I guess between the two ...

I'd bet on 1.00$ Jan/Feb/March 2020, but before that... we could keep dropping for a little while longer maybe. Coinmarketcap showed me earlier that some STEEM (around 1.000,00€ in volume) was sold for 0.07€ today.
