And that's how it should be.
If you believe you have entitlement to opinion or reward due to your perceived self-worth, then I must inform you that everyone else does too and how that manifests itself depends on how you choose to use it. There are no differences between upvotes and downvotes, the numbers may change but the opinion and intent carry the same value.
Just because there are rewards, doesn't mean anyone needs or should be posting to garner them. By simply attempting to gain rewards with posts you are not necessarily being true and thus 'gaming'. Again, if you attempt to 'game', others may do the same because that is also their perrogative......just don't bleat if you don't win the game you started .
Life is about sharing and interdependency and that's how it works on Hive.
It's Saturday, the pubs have opened and I'm having a bottle and trying to bask in the glory of Leeds going up as Champions .
Have a safe and happy weekend kiddiewinks :-)
