@ladyaryastark: Quien pasó por Reddit alguna vez, sabrá que los votos negativos suelen utilizarse mayormente de forma irracional, entonces aplicando un paralelismo, qué nos garantiza de que serán bien utilizados en Hive? Ya ví ballenas cereando las recompensas de algunas personas de forma sistemática, cualquiera sea el tema que se tratase, entonces, podemos decir que es una buena herramienta? Más aún cuando la consecuencia es en proporción al HP. Es decir, brinda total impunidad a los mayores tenedores de HP, dejando a los pequeños peces rojos, y hasta a las orcas, indefensas, en caso de utilizarse mal. Para mí, la solución al voto negativo sería que el sistema obligue a fundamentar la razón del voto negativo. Al final del día, el voto positivo es una herramienta más peligrosa, porque con ella es que se extraen los recursos de Hive, votando positivamente por valores de decenas de dólares a contenido que siendo honestos, no suelen ser la gran cosa. Siendo un poco paranoica es como una especie de lavado de dinero, cuando se hace de forma sistemática: te voto cualquier porquería por 10 o 15 dólares pero tú me das la mitad. Otra cosa que te diré, es que hasta ahora no has votado positivo a ninguna respuesta, porque de seguro será para alguien que piense igual que tú, no alguien que tenga la mejor respuesta. PS: espero que no seas una 🐋 y espero no haberte molestado 😜
@yecier: Hello, Downvotes can be a tool of intimidation or censorship because let's be honest, people will stop doing things or giving their opinions in some subjects to avoid get targeted with a whale who only wants impose her point of view.
@babygirl888: I like the downvote philosophy you put out though I was laughing at the saying that we all need to experience a down vote and I go like no way. But like you said it looks like something that’s inevitable in the hiving experience. I also love the part where you described a good man as having power to use but deciding not to use it except when necessary. The subject of downvotes in my own little opinion is thats it’s obviously inevitable as a tool to keep the ecosystem sane against abuse but it should be used with discretion like you said. There could be a scenario where someone can decide to use it against a user whom they have a beef against or wants to proof a point. But outside this scenario, it would come in handy as a tool to sanitize the ecosystem like you said against abusers but that after they have been warned and they decide not to adhere. Talking of experience a down vote, I think it would be absurd and may call for those kind of reactions which of course you explained is not the end of the world or a death sentence if someone just got downvoted for doing nothing. I don’t know if it has happened to anyone but I don’t think I would be feeling good to wake up and see downvote on my posts when I don’t even know what I did to deserve it or haven’t been warned of any misgivings. I may not freak out and leave but if a sure not going to be a good experience if it happens without a cause. We should all be giving graces to learn and grow and in the absence of remorse and willingness to change in the face of constant abuse then there’s liberty to use the downvote power. It would only be effective if the person downvoting has enough power to do that though.
@offgridlife: Downvotes are awesome. I have had everything on Hive downvoted to zero for 2 years now. Everything gets zeroed out on Day 7. Absolutely no reason ever given. But it has been a blessing in disguise …. The downvotes started when Hive hit $3 … nobody could tell me why I was being downvoted … so I started selling my 25,000 Hive power at $3 …. $75,000 usd at the time …. I started buying Bitcoin at around $ 16,000 … I also bought some PEPE in 2023 . So … I have done ok. I am very happy with the downvotes. I still have no idea why the 2 3 whales started Downvoting me. But I am glad they did .
