Thank you logic@logic for your comment ❤️ I don't mind the downvote for reposts,or any downvote that is addressed to my content... after all I added the repost tag and made perfectly clear that I had posted this again 2 years ago to give the option to users not to upvote it. They chose to upvote me in any case. If someone else wishes to downvote my content it is fine. Also as you may have noticed I make no reference to a specific account.

I wrote the post following a chat I had with a couple of old Steem/Hive friends of mine who told me that many users (mostly artists) got downvoted again and again because certain hive members (previously steemit members) target those who don't use their downvote power. Artists of course won't downvote other artists. It's a harsh world already.

Now, I am not sure who hive watchers are and I don't give a damn because honestly post or repost, when it comes to my content at least it's original. I created it and if I wish to share it on Hive, on Steem, on Facebook, on Instagram again and again I will do so because ART is about communication, reaching people in hope that a part of you will touch a part of the audience. It's about exposure.

The $$ earned on these platforms is ridiculous for minnows, and in fact I have always been investing my own money to be able to give a positive vote to my following. Of course when I hear about these endless nerd wars I reckon I need to always cash out my initial investment. Best for them, the big stakeholders, to improve the platform in a way that it is attracting funds.
