You know why they complained you are such a bullshit artist. It even says in the post that you linked that they are against automated voting.

Another reason for the 5 minute pile-on to be sent to room 101.

I feel bad for people who are so desperate they decide to rely on posting mediocre content on Hive, but I wish more people would produce content for the sake of producing content. A lot of those people doing it entirely for the rewards are so formulaic.
As for curators, the system is set up to be gamed, so this issue makes sense. It was designed long before free downvotes were allowed, maybe it's time to adjust how it works so curators can go back to curating based on quality and not efficiency.

You are damned if you do damned if you don't, and damned if you stand in the middle ground. Vote who, how, and why you want to vote. I really do not understand how people  can think of a vote any other way. It is your vote, their vote is their vote. 

I really did enjoy reading all of these comments on your spot, I am flabbergasted that  people don't understand that a vote belongs to the person that is giving it. The size of the vote is based on how much a person has powered up, or a person has delegated to them. 

If people think a post is over rewarded, (ie: they don't want your vote), they can always down vote themselves and each other, We have two votes, up vote and down vote. Right now there are no set standards in writing as to why a post can be down voted, likewise no set standard as to why a post can be up voted.

Manual or automated method of voting, I have seen some votes from you that would indicate some manual voting, (I peaked in hivetask thing). You have a lot of HP, full on manual voting is simply not possible, I have a hard time manually voting the number of people I like, the number of post I find interesting, and the number of people I want to keep posting, so while I do not use a vote trail or a curation bot, I am not a 100% manual voter. I doubt that there really are very many full on manual voters.

Keep voting the way you want, and when you want.

Here are things that are not being made clear, this is not about who you receive the vote or the amount but how you receive it.


 Marky gave it an approach that only shows one side of the coin, and I know that many will not like my comment but I will anyway, I am new to the hive I am 5 months old I have received an appreciator vote and from other whales I never I have complained about them ... I entered the hive for the work of incorporation of Rutablockchain I was used to making my publications I struggled in each publication to get a vote from a whale.


I come from the world of commission sales, I have never had a fixed salary, I don't like it, so publishing and seeing who voted and commented on my content created excitement and motivated me.

But one fine day I realized that when I posted 4 minutes after posting I received a vote from Marky, I did not understand it until I was told that I received an automatic vote, I was flattered, but then I noticed that unlike Appreciator the which on several occasions left a comment on a publication, from Marky I did not receive it, this confused me if my content is good to assign an automatic vote. Why is it not read?


So I decided to make a post stating that I don't like automatic votes, hoping they would pay attention to me because I'm not receiving them because I'm evaluating my content, it's just a bot that goes and votes, I hoped Marky would read it and it was not. .. if it were read as it says, I would have noticed that my post said no to automatic voting.

You say that you were invited to an AMA on Rutablockchain to vote for their authors, so I have a question why only the authors who were the most popular and received the highest votes were the ones who got an automatic vote for their part?


And the truth has been several whales have gone to the Rutablockchain Discord and none of them have assigned an automatic vote to any of us only you, so do not excuse yourself with that.



You were invited to the Rutablockchain Discor so that new users could learn more about the platform, how it works and who the whales were.


And if I wrote to him on Discor and before writing I said I am going to appeal to his human side, after being ignored I wrote to him explaining my reasons, which are these that are here.


The fact that I live in Venezuela does not mean that I want things to be given to me, if the situation is difficult, but enough to say that we only want to live off the rewards ... because whoever lives with that amount sees my future rewards.


I am a tourist advisor, what I do in Hive in a month, I get it at my work in less than a week.


I'm on Hive because I like creating content.


I know Enmy brought me to the platform and if you check her healing trail you will see that not only did she receive an appreciator vote, there are many things she is omitting.



Esto no se trata de si recibimos un voto suyo o uno de appreciator ni de la cantidad del voto esto se trata de que esta asignado votos automáticos y quizás a muchos les encante la idea y digan ¿por que te quejas?  


Me quejo porque me encanta esta plataforma y los votos automáticos solo crean un círculo de votación que favorece a pocos usuarios.


Esa mierda ya la vivo en mi país  donde solo unos cuantos se benefician y el pueblo muere.


Así que no nos hagas ver como unos villanos que nos estamos aprovechando de la colmena por 10$ en una publicación o 2,30$ en otra.

Vote my post I will follow you!
Ahahahahaha.  How things have changed.

I'm having a problem wrapping my head around this whole deal.  Seriously.

It does seem to explain some of the tags I've been mystified by.  

I maintain that if you are posting for the rewards you are in the wrong business.  Posting for the content and accepting the rewards that come is a lot more satisfying.

Thanks for all you do.  Really.

i am lost in all this. and i should start posting photo a day...

You were curation snipping almost whole of Hive and most of them are popular authors. You are just whining because you are not able to gain rewards from curation sniping. Now you are complaining why others are doing it, so ironic.


Would you stop telling lies because your so called automated support vanishes into thin air when post's STU becomes more than $2, which show you are mainly concerned for rewards only.

I still don't feel the need to explain anything to you because you cannot make stupid person realize that he is stupid. I expect your puppets to soon appear in comments, without making any sense at all.

Previously, you were complaining about low competition in curation  and  you are still whining, no surprise there.

Whenever I see things like this I feel like that these talks of removing blogging inflation rewards on layer one make more and more sense

What happened to being grateful and appreciative of any vote you receive. I just don't get it and cherish every vote I receive. From what you are saying is that some users just expect to receive no matter what they post. If you are consistently doing decent posts and are putting effort into what you do then it is up to the community to vote. I find it crazy that some accounts wont vote because you have voted and is totally the wrong attitude to have. I am happy you have been supporting me as otherwise I would be  on $2 possibly per post and you do make Hive a better experience for me. The only rule I have for voting anyone is whether they are powering down every month or so as I believe one should be growing their account during these times.

Hmm. Interesting and a bit sad to complain about upvotes, also bit of a gamble to relie on getting "big upvotes" instead of consistent small upvotes. 

This Hive drama is one of our biggest strength yet our Achilles heel.

Upvoting content is the easiest thing to do. You don't have to go in-depth about effort, formatting etc...

Do you enjoy reading the content? Good. Leave a vote. It costs nothing.

All this drama about reward snipping to maximize curation rewards is just nuts.  

Some people just need to complain. I appreciate all of the votes that I receive from you. I am not cool enough for @appreciator or @rocky1 votes, and they seem to be voting on content that doesn't get votes otherwise, so they can maximize their curation.
