RE: Whatever: If This Hardfork Fucks Me Over As A Content Producer...
I don't know how it's going to shake out, but everyone seems to think they can predict human behavior and what the response will be. I will continue to do what I've been doing, try to identify the gross behavior and make sure my vote doesn't reward it or reward people that reward it. I'm not perfect though, I'm learning more and more every day the ways people try to extract value from other people on here. I gave my witness votes an enema recently. Perfectly good content passes through my feed I don't upvote. If I see an open bidbot upvote your stuff I'm unfollowing you. I'm trying to create my own little personal bubble of honest actors. If everybody did the same, I think it would dry up demand for a lot of these scammers and exploiters.
With limited voting power to use, there's not much I can do. There are some good folks who produce content I've enjoyed for almost three years. I don't plan on turning my back on them. I tend to look for personalities I enjoy and the content just comes with their territory. I'll support curation efforts as well, like when someone seeks out musicians and I see their post with multiple videos. They're promoting members for free, so I'll pass them a vote as a courtesy so they keep it up. That's one of the best ways to get those smallest accounts off the ground, give them some eyes.
I'll be downvoting scammers. I don't give a shit what they think of me.
