RE: Against your own defense - Dust Sweeper
I used it briefly when it first started. What I found quickly was several in my circle began using it to subsidize their votes on my page. An example of this would be they were normally giving me a 70% vote worth .03 to giving me a 15% vote worth .01. I wrote about it a couple of months ago.
I have to admit for my personality it just hit me wrong that those who would engage with me on my post would consider the idea I should subsidize their lack of voting power (help them spread a bunch of dust votes around). On principle, it sickens my spirit to think another would think it right to do this, this flies in the very idea of upvoting/rewarding content you find worthy. I honestly think it tarnishes the entire purpose that the program was set up for. But people gonna people I guess.
fair enough... i just don't overthink these things... i overthink others, but not this. So maybe some people decided to vote me smaller, i just would not care.. even now.. lets say its true... i don't care..
Im making friends, the rest is noise.
