RE: We're All Stars and Galaxies Make Up the Universe
I guess I am a circle jerk person or whatever..
I mean, why would I bother following someone if I didn't like their content. And since I like their content, why wouldn't I up-vote it? And it stands to reason that I like content creators that have similar interests to me, so they may likely enjoy my content and up-vote it as well.
I don't know why people get so bent out of shape around here about non-issues.
If people are complaining that dolphins/orcas/whales etc are ruining steemit, then their best option might be to decide that Steemit isn't right for them, or actually invest in the platform in order to be taken a bit more seriously. Too many people come here and think that they are going to get something for nothing. That's not how it works in the real world, and not how it works in here!
Someone with money can enjoy the same things as someone who's broke. We're people, not dollar bills. It's not the wealthiest member's responsibility to enjoy everything this planet has to offer and those without are under no obligation either. Pretty damn fair. And you're right... I don't expect those serious types who do nothing but talk about crypto to ignore all of their friends and come vote my style so why give something a dirty name and demonize people for simply acting natural. I'm not going ignore the people I've met and the content I enjoy. In most cases the people come first and that's not favoritism. DLive for instance is ditching out because they feel their content producers were undervalued but if 10 people all stream the same game, and I love that game, it doesn't mean all ten streams get a vote... I'll vote for the individual who's the most entertaining or interesting, whatever, and it all boils down to the human, not their content. Just like bands and music. Maybe you like punk rock but you don't like every punk rock band. Just a few of them. Totally normal.
I hear ya. It is exhausting trying to appease the voting police. And as you say, you make friends and you like what they write. It is only natural.
I think it all just comes back to the simple philosophy that each user can and should do whatever they want with their voting power. Plain and simple, really.
Speak about punk rock and circle jerking, I think it's now accurate for me to suggest you to listen to the Circle Jerks!(??? is it?).
I've heard them! Not my favorite punk band but I guess they're good enough.
They're not my most fav either but hey, the name tho, heheh.
My most fav English-lyriced punk band is definitely the Dead Kennedys, though.
