RE: Not TikTokety Boo

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I'm using tiktok for a while now and just like 10% of what I see is really just fun things, memes, or really interesting people talking. But the algorithm learned that I like raging, controversial and kinda pessimistic videos. Yes, I do enjoy those - that's how our brain works - but only for a limited time.
Instead the algorithm never stops to feed you that content, and you end to get caught into a downward spiral of the same bad content that unconsciously keeps you engaged but ruins your liver at the same time. Luckily I'm able to notice when it's harming me and shut it down. Too bad I have to use it for my music career, so I can't erase it for now...
Good for you that you managed to get rid of it

The thing is with music, it's very marmite in nature. Whereas with a vehicle, everything is up for debate - the manufacturer, the powertrain, the audience (e.g. Honda Jazz is stereotyped as "The Pensioners Car" for absolutely no reason whatsoever) and if by some chance it's an older brand now owned by a company from a different country, it can really stir things up, even if the cars are really well made and good value for money (and keep getting better)

Glad your built-in early warning system lets you know before you get too far down the rabbit hole, it's not an easy thing to build up, is it?

I like the Depeche Mode vibe of your EP - very cool! Ben and I are editors for a Grenadian musician, 92 Crew:

so it's nice to chat to someone making their own music.

Thank you,
Annabelle 😊

Yeah, actually on social medias everything is under attack, even the best music in the world has its haters 🙃
Btw my mother is retired and has a Honda Jazz hahaha!

No, it's not easy to get that kind of awareness. Maybe I've got it because I have so many things to do that after a while scrolling with no purpose I realise I'm wasting my time. Lucky me uh?

Thank you for your appreciation 😊 I'm glad to casually find someone that likes what I do. I'm trying my best

Keep doing what you're doing, @harbiter - if it's what you love, nothing else matters, really. If Ben and I can help at all, give us a shout :)

P.S. I bet your mum is a real speed demon in her Honda Jazz, lol! I've never seen or experienced one driven so fast until I stepped in the Sport Jazz with Ben driving it. Also, it's proper JDM having a Jazz - they call it the Fit over there! 😀

We ask, why doesn't anyone do anything about these bad downvotes on Hive?

from Imgflip Meme Generator

Very alarming situation on Hive: Misuse of power, fake interactions, and abuse of downvoting we've spoken up about the abuse of power on Hive, only to be downvoted and spoken to poorly.

Themarkymark and others are misusing their power, with Blocktrades delegating Hive power to Buildawhale and Usainvote.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL
