RE: Creating Content on the Blockchain Part 3 -- Expectations / Rewards / Voting

I would personally just ignore it @acgalarza. I would only use a DV for plagiarism or unethical behavior myself. If it is just a post you don't like, move along. Sometimes I will even upvote a post that doesn't deal specifically with my interests or which I don't think was very well put together, IMHO, but which I can see the author put a lot of time into. So I reward the effort. I don't wish to be unkind to people who are pursuing their passions, even if they are still in a learning/development phase, because then I could just as easily DV people's written work for using poor English or poor grammar or poor plot in a short story... but I don't. And I am still learning my writing craft and would feel very demotivated if someone kept downvoting me whilst I was trying desperately to improve my abilities as a writer. So, I try to see each piece independently and seek to add value to the author. I think it was a very good question that you asked. Ultimately we are all responsible for how we each use our vote. Do unto others...

Thanks for your answer @samsmith1971 . I agree with you, the power of the DV should be reserved for truly "special" occasions! 😉

And "Do unto others..." really put things into perspective, doesn't it! 👍

I have more questions, but they can wait until Thursday!

Best regards!
