The Value of Downvotes Explained

in voting •  7 years ago  (edited)

Excellent post by high rep Steemian @kevinwong about downvotes:

Now, what happens when unlimited likes become limited investments? People become a little bit more serious with their votes. Expect the real kind of drama that fires up great discussions that we can all learn from. It's a feature, one that builds relationships. People become investors as they become more invested in high-quality drama.

Drama is the spice of life and could be the main driving factor of value for cryptocurrencies and.. Steem. So let's exploit this. Terrible idea, perhaps! Straight to the point, downvoting is the reality of a new social network like this one. I don't think it would be possible without such a function. So ultimately, the understanding of downvotes need to be learned and mastered. Top authors will always get scrutinised, no two ways about it.

Here I mostly tumbl (resteem with added commentary, a form of advanced curation Steem doesn't offer), zapp, post to forums, and submit other miscellaneous mischief. The latter which may or may not include more personal content.

There may be days it can be noisy around here, follow at your own risk. Alternatively, follow my attempts at more valuable content on my main account, @FknMayhem.

I am also on zeh Titter.
