Fair Advance Warning: Downvotes Coming to ALL blurt.media Posts If Those on My Comments Don't Stop!
Ok... I have a trail of dust downvotes on my comments from blurters for months now. They are dust, so they shouldn't matter as much... but:
- they clog up the chain unnecessarily
- on some front ends (hint: @Ecency), I carry a stigma on my comments
and that's becoming tiresome.
Fair warning to @blurt.media, @dreamtales, @mmmmkkkk311, @ctime, @bluesniper, @sonntags, @mariuszkarowsk, @tenpik, @zeltra, @gaskets, @primeradue, @csport, @labutamol, @ovlagik, @mk-photo-token
Note to @asgarth: some downvoters (i.e. the last one in the list) is shown in white and in the list of "upvotes", although it has a -10% downvote.
This is a two-week warning!
If, when I come back from my vacation, the trailing dust downvotes are still around, I'll create a bot of my own to downvote all spam content (that's ALL of their posts, since we are talking about dozens a day) from @blurt.media. They are already at a negative reputation on Hive as are most of my dust downvoters (who still created content on Hive to be downvoted by anyone), but they'll earn even less rewards. I'm pretty sure they still earn plenty of tribe rewards, but hey, who am I to stop them by myself, right?
The tags I've seen them use in the last 24h were: #BBH, #FUN, #NEOXIAN, #POB, #SPORTTALK, #meme, #waivio, #dice, #pepe
Just in case people in those communities are interested...
There you go! You have your two weeks! You have plenty of advance warning. Make your choice! Maybe you like downvotes after all! But weren't you there on blurt against them? Or you think that by using them here you can convince anyone how great is life at your end, when you're milking tiny (or perhaps less tiny, in tribes) rewards here...

Direct comment link? I'm checking some of your comments but all downvotes are marked in red.
Look here:
A different case, but same situation.
Thanks, will check and fix in the next update 🙏

It sounds annoying to deal with. They aren't even here on the chain for most of them, so they probably don't care that much. I'll just stand by and watch to see what happens.
Yeah... the pains of the uncensored world. Great benefits, but you have to put up with some nasty things here and there. Although... some nasty things seem to be self-inflicted.
That's so annoying to have that display in ecency
Yeah, it is.
Downvoting with dust may seem harmless, but when it becomes a pattern, it turns into noise that pollutes the platform more than it protects it.
They have no interest in protecting Hive. They all left. I think they thrive on polluting Hive.
Lol the ultimatum post will do the magic, watch and wait and see. These DVers are not on the Blockchain anyway, so I wonder why it matters so much to leave DUST DVvotes everywhere.
There are two possibilities:
Do what you want.
Not intimidating at all.
Gadrian,
After months of enjoying dust upvotes, autovote trails, and all the cozy comforts of passive approval, you've bravely stood up to the real threat facing Hive:
Tiny red numbers that hurt your feelings.
Why not complain and retaliate against the passive auto votes in your favor?
Your not defending the chain from "clogging dust votes" your ego is the one that is hurt and it shows.
You think? I could've continued to ignore you altogether from my point of view. I earn my upvotes, even those who are on auto-vote. What I don't like is you blurters spreading negativity on Hive. And I will act on it.
Oh! I am so honored thou highness has gifted me with a response. All hail the grandiose and marvelous King. I should be thankful you have descended from your Ivory tower and gifted me your attention for I, a mere peasant.
Let the record show that Your Grace earns every autovote bestowed upon loyal serfs and bots alike. Such purity. Such sacrifice.
Why, even the robots know you’re worthy. That must be how the blockchain determines merit these days.
But wait, I must confess confusion...
So... do you also earn your dust upvotes? Or only the ones that cock stroke your ego with 100% approval?
How does the automated validation qualify as “earned,” but automated disapproval becomes “spam,” “clogging,” or “negativity”?
Curious... Must be a moral algorithm I haven't unlocked yet. Maybe it’s only available at your rep score?
Then there’s this gem:
Are we doing the ‘you people’ thing now?
Should I be honored to be part of this exotic subgroup you’ve identified as the sole cause of all Hive’s woes?
Are "the hive people" just aboveground? More equal than others?
Great job lumping an entire group into a single negative trait as if everyone on Blurt is part of some coordinated negativity cult hell bent on destroying hive.
Positioning yourself as morally superior. Your Hive. We're Blurt. We the invader, the virus, the other. How amusing.
Instead of addressing my point, you intend to discredit the source by throwing the whole Blurt label at it like it's some kind of slur.
Yes, of course. Me calling out your performative threat-post is "negativity", but you publicly threatening a mass retaliatory bot attack? That’s just wholesome blockchain hygiene, right?
Let me rephrase in your dialect:
My comment = toxic infestation of hope-killing negativity
Your bot-vendetta = sacred mission of system purification
Got it. Glad we cleared that up.
Oooh. The king has spoken.
I tremble before your righteous wrath and the might of your automated script.

No something to share on X, I believe...
It’s telling that your first instinct was to scream 'coordinated attack' and throw a tantrum post tagging everyone in sight like we’re part of a hive mind.
Maybe the real issue is how fragile your ideas are if even dust-level disagreement sends you into nuclear mode and to attack everyone else based on @mmmmkkkk12 voting trail. Maybe you out to try some more introspection and see the reason why you are being downvoted instead of outrightly attacking every one sight.
"You blurters"
Pft!
Ok... Then that's simple for you: stop following his downvote trail. If he's the reason for that, he has started and hasn't stopped it (although the reason for starting it probably went away) months ago. So... yeah, I'm not acting on impulse, quite the opposite I'd say!
Ah... So the the DV started months ago and you had all that time to figure it out why since then. How is that every Blurtians problem then?
LMAO!
Not impulsive you say?
Yeeeaaaaa rrriiiiggght.
And after months of ignoring it (allegedly), your now finally going to act… while on vacation?
I'm seeing a grudge turning into an attempt for justification for power tripping.
Have you ever heard of the mute function?
It’s a miracle of modern blockchain UX.
If you don’t like content, you can just… not see it. Brilliant right?
Better option instead of bitching about dust votes, negative or positive alike it doesn't matter.
Also, Now you're trying to tell me what to do with my own curation?
Thanks, but I’ll keep my autonomy.
Like I said. Do whatever you want. You're not intimidating anyone with your temper tantrum.
But this piece has sure been funny as hell.
Welcome to the club! 🎶
Oh well... I guess they probably care about rewards since they continue to shitpost so often on Hive. Unless that's a way for them to dump sh*t on Hive.
I am getting their downvotes for a long time. It's shocking to know that ecency was adding a disclaimer for obvious spam upvotes of less than dust. A problem with the frontend as well.
Maybe they should add it after 2 cents of downvotes.
Let me tag @good-karma! Maybe he will fix it.

A few minutes ago they've just downvoted a post of mine from 2022. How do you call that? 😆
They just want to spread negativity far and wide.
For pob, arranging null rewards will be easier as there r many POB top accounts in antiabuse as well. Also, frontends/tribes have centralized control to remove all rewards.
Neoxian, just hit him in his discord.
I suggested that in the past. I think that's what got me the trail of downvotes.
