I don't usually put out a lot of posts like these but it's probably a good reminder for people. I was looking at a complaint @dobro2020 made in the Hive general chat on Discord. He was being continually downvoted by @hive3 on his posts and comments. The hive3 account was doing it out of retaliation for dobro2020's comments and downvotes. It's childish on hive3's part, but here on Hive you have that freedom. I'm not condoing dobro2020's insults either, but most of us are adults here and are capable of better.
When I looked at the downvotes on the comments I noticed that many weren't upvoted to at least $0.02. Why does that matter? Any upvotes on comments under $0.02 turn to "dust." This means they get zeroed out. The author and curator get nothing, and the curator's mana is wasted. If the comment isn't above $0.02 then you're better off tipping them with Hive-Engine tokens.
Many are unaware of this, so I thought it might be a good reminder. I used the @nectarbytes account to bring the vote on everything past the $0.02 mark on the comments and also on the post, to offset the downvoting. It's peak hypocrisy for the @hive3 account to be giving downvotes when the account is itself being downvoted for primarily using AI to generate and post content, with the posts and comments mainly being proofread and tweaked by additional prompts before publishing them.
