RE: I've Been Tricked!

Unfortunately there’s a lot of gatekeeping regarding posts and the ever nebulous “quality” of them.
This stems back from the Steem days where you needed to post at least 1000 words for something to be considered worthy of an upvote. There are still a few nutbags that have carried this attitude across to Hive. These are the same people who accuse others of “raping the blockchain”, while doing just that and wanting to police the posts of others.
It’s a mindset that caused, and still causes a lot of damage to people here. Even now I feel like I need to maintain a minimum of 500 words to be considered “worthy”. It’s ridiculous.
You can tell who the above people are because they mine upvotes, usually have been here over 6 years have a reputation score in the 80’s.
Yeah, it's ridiculous considering the audience. People aren't coming to Hive to read a research paper.
Overall, I feel like that sentiment is dying. Even HiveWatcher announced they won't be downvoting content that was posted outside Hive first. While it may seem like a small step, it's a considerable step away from that old way of thinking.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Those complaining about it are the most guilty of it, and their own posts hardly offer anything insightful, much less entertaining. With more people coming to Hive and HW signaling changes, maybe there's hope. 🙂
