My Posts Are Getting Downvotes, Why? What Am I doing Wrong

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I went through my post, and noticed some have a crap ton of down votes. I am not posting any spam, stolen content, I never copy other people's work. All photos are taken by me unless other wise noted. I post my YouTube videos to DTube, sometimes I embed the link. I am not breaking Steemits rules. SO why am I being down voted? This may hurt my repuation, and I am trying to save up my money so I can upgrade my YouTube equipment, I cannot do that if I am being down voted without a reason, if anyone knows why this is happening, or other things that can cause you to be down voted, PLEASE tell me in the comments so I know what to avoid/stop doing. It very upsetting that I am getting down voted and I have done nothing wrong ( as far as a know) so please help me.

@aaliyahholt its really a big problem for every user and his reputation but that i see on your post ,posts are not viral post and nice upvote and comments am already found that problem in my account but main reason according to me followers are inactive and those who active not interested your post ..... posting interesting story .

If they're not interested, have they ever heard of keep scrolling? Its not that hard. I don't deserve this just because they don't like my posts. And what is "interesting" if photography isn't?

Let's see...

  • 3 pots a day --> Won't consider it spam.
  • Posts with low word counts + 1 picture --> Don't think it's fair to downvote, and the pictures are well described.
  • No use of upvote/bid bots --> That's even better than me, good for you @aaliyahholt!!

The only posts I see, that maybe have set the downvoters eyes on you are the meme posts. Like the comus.fun post for example. I don't know for sure though.

I know there accounts worth the hate more than yours.

I still don't deserve to be down voted just because I posted a meme. My "Bed of Flowers" "Ducks" and "Facebook's most annoying update" post got the down votes. I mean if someone doesn't like something, keep scrolling, its not that hard

Yeah, I totally think if that's the reason for downvotes, you don't deserve it.

But that's the only thing of your posts that I know there are haters for.

I mean if someone doesn't like something, keep scrolling, its not that hard.

Wish more people act like this ^

how did you quote what I said?
PS this place is just like Reddit. Like on an Undertale sub, I didn't know the Undertale creator answered his e-mails, and I was surprised when he answered someone who contacted him about something,and I was down voted. You cannot expect someone, who doesn't know a person from a can of paint, to know how responsive they are to e-mails,messages etc

Yeah, this place is like reddit.

By the way, as long as STEEM system is concerned, Downvoting isn't something bad, when someone downvotes you they are just telling the system that they don't agree you get money from the reward pool (and yes, reward pool is limited, so downvoting a post can make other posts earn slightly more.) It's just like Reddit downvotes, just with money involved.

We, as a community just agreed that downvoting should be frowned upon, and agreed to reserve it to those who abuse, plagiarize and such. But NOT everyone agreed to this rule. yeah, I know it's sad... But I would use my time writing better posts than trying to find who did it. (UNLESS they started doing it again for posts that have a clear quality... Then I'll get angry.)

How to quote someone, glad you asked:

Put the symbol ">" (without quotes) at the start of the line, like this:

> how did you quote what I said?

how did you quote what I said?

Also, try to put four spaces at the start of line and see what happens. (Steemit uses markdown stylings so you can check its tutorials)

ah, thanks, I was wondering how people did that, still have a lot to learn about Steemit

MY problem is back, my "Green Bike" posts, got so many down votes, I did nothing wrong, why does everyone hate me?

I don't know... Must have been something you wrote that triggered someone. But you haven't received any in the last few days, so hopefully it was a temporary thing.

Try to forget about it and move on. Don't fight back as that could just bring you into more trouble. :)

SteemOn!

My problem is back. All I really say on other people's post that I like their posts and so on. my "green bike" posts, got so many down votes, I did nothing wrong. This place is just as bad as Reddit.
