I have only been through one fork, HF21/22, since arriving. I know HF 20 happened just before I arrived, so I got to deal with the brand new RC system, and was shut out quite regularly. More appropriately, I should say I was shut up.
But still I wrote, I read, I commented and I spread my worthless 100% upvote around. I invested all I could, then diligently worked on the blockchain for more than a year to get my SP up to something that would give other Littles, my peeps, a whopping .02 in their payout fields. I started getting tiny curation rewards.
Then HF21/22 came along with its upvote curve and suddenly my upvote on my fellow Littles' posts went back to being worthless. Our hard earned steem could no longer buy as much for us, and there were fewer opportunities to make any earnings in our communities. We'd been put into virtual ghettos.
So here's my gripe: with the recent soft fork, only upvotes over .02 generate a notification. Previously, I found my new peeps by checking out anyone who upvoted me with 100%. A 100% upvote of little to no steem value alerted me to newbies who might interest me and need a hand up.
Since the recent so called soft fork that changed everything, I get no notification of a small account's support of my work, none. And anyone I give unbridled support to gets no notification of my support of them. We can search through our upvotes, but there are no percentages on that list, making it nearly impossible to know who were the actual humans who saw my work, and who were among the autovotes that gave me a measly .1% upvote.
Once again, the Littles have been further erased from notice on the blockchain .
Way to go making it more difficult for a new account to gain some traction here. And we wonder why so many new accounts that were making great content got up and left.
