RE: 👍 Weekly Downvote Compensation Post - Target: $33.99
How about adding a couple of comments to be upvoted under these weekly posts?
I truly appreciate that you'd like to do more and your delegation to bullionsavers meant a lot.
I've typed and retyped this part of my reply 10 times already. I'm obviously finding words difficult to come by at the moment.
First off - bullionsavers...
I liked that idea and in many ways, I still do. But it was all manual.
Because bullionstackers likes to downvote 12 hours before payout, the corresponding upvote needs to come immediately. This is only effective if the voting power and Resource Credits are at an appropriate level. Consistently.
This vote could have been automated, but bullionstackers' games would have inevitably involved him downvoting his own accounts (yes, he has loads - he once had a delegation from Steemit which he lost because he used it to reward farm).
Then there's the 12 hours. So instead of auto voting whatever he downvoted, I manually found something more recent to upvote. Which gave him time to recharge his downvoting power and the cycle continued. Every day. A manual downvote / upvote war that benefits absolutely nobody and from a personal point of view is totally destructive to the enjoyment I've recently rediscovered on this platform.
I also believe that every upvote that counters his downvotes gives him the joy - the idea that he's upsetting somebody. That's why it's reached this level. I reacted. Which I won't do again.
He's alone. He has NOTHING good here. Every post or comment that is written to compensate or help others will be attacked by him. It's his fuel and his energy. He craves nothing more than attention - any attention. Like a 3 year old whose mother is trying to talk to somebody else.
This post will still give him a moment to feel that in some perverse way, that he is special, like his mother always told him he was. But every other day of the week, he'll have nothing to wake up for. He'll be all alone again and he won't suck the energy from people like us any more.
