RE: OPEN LETTER TO @WHALES: please be mindfull with your MASS-DOWNVOTES before it's to late
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Someplace @themarkymark had given an explanation of why downvotes. He was talking about whaleshares where since no downvote is allowed, people post images with no content to rape the reward pool.. And no one can do anything.
Also, if you look at the benefits at the moment, most downvotes even from a minnow goes against bid bot users.. Therefore, gives a bit of leverage in the hands of everyone.. Though, a smaller guy down voting may not be as big as a whale doing so..
I get your argument on what could go wrong but right now the experience is otherwise.. So it's not that bad.

Dear @oivas
I'm sorry for such a late reply. I've been sick for past few days and I'm just catching up.
I know that downvotes can (and are) being used by many large stake holders to make steemit a better place, but it's obvious that there is huge room for abuse and there is very little (or nothing) we can do to prevent that.
My goal was to point out the problem. Problem which really exist. I can even give another example: ulqu3 - he has been away from steemit for a longer while. Came back, posted something and used bidbots to boost his post to trending page. He got number of heavy downvotes, but noone bothered to tell him what did he do wrong. Not even one warning or explanation.
I already know several similar examples and it's not hard to imagine and understand, that many of those users will quit steemit. And that worries me.
Enjoy your weekend buddy,
Cheers, Piotr
Sad to hear about ulqu.. I think I just read a post from whatageek as well where he was upset with few downvotes.. With everyone capable of down voting it can certainly go either way.. 🤪
Let's hope for the best and hope to have SMTs soon!
