RE: How to fail at Hive

Ha, discovered this piece of work here and thought I can join with a comment or rather a question.
What I always wondered about is those tags. Is this what 'Phishing for whale votes' is aiming at?
Like the ocd, gems, ocdb etc. tags?
When I joined I saw them in several posts and started using them as well just to see what is happening. I still don't really know what they are for or who is behind them.
With the ocd tag for example I think that my post is visible in the community, even though I am posting in a different one, just as with the gems tag. 🤔 Am I right with this conclusion or am I phishing for whale votes without knowing?
I don't even know who a whale is here lol, the accounts with high rep?
Anyway, doesn't really matter, met some great people here already and you are right, with engagement and somewhat decent content things develop on it's own says the one that never used social media before joining Hive and is still somewhat clueless but will stay as long as it's fun 😉
I don't tend to use those specific tags. They may get you extra attention, but if hundreds of others do the same then votes still may be infrequent. I think it is better to try to connect with those who share your interests. They are more likely to vote for you even if the votes are smaller.
Some whales have a low rep as they don't post much. You get to be a whale when you have something over 500k HP.
Given your user name, have you met @beautifulbullies ?
Yah, sometimes I use them sometimes not. Depending on the post. Maybe it is a bit confusing because you get the feeling you write some original content and want to mark it as such.
But I try to stick to the communities anyway, so I don't really use them as a vote catcher. But it is nice to gain xtra attention outside of a specific community as it may attract others to the one you're posting in as well.
Lol, am I confusing you...I confuse myself 😂 .
And no, haven't met @beautifulbullies yet. Might stalk that profile really quick 🙃
