My 2 cents........

After 4 years I made trending. I was voted on by @ranchorelaxo. I was so excited to finally make trending AND it was also the highest-paid post I ever had.....over 100.00.

I was then warned by a friend that I would probably be downvoted and why......

and sure enough, @newsflash downvoted me. My post was still trending and It still was the highest-paid post I ever had.

I look at votes this way. They are a gift. You can spend your time blogging on another website and make nothing and have no one read what you wrote......... OR you can be on Hive, know that your post payout IS after 7 days......... so do not get too attached to that number until it is paid out.

I HAVE written open letters to whales that I thought were downvoting unfairly. I listened to their stories and most had merit as to why they were doing what they were.

So my advice is to get the downvoters together and listen to what each has to say instead of making assumptions..........

Great and interesting post!! Keep up the good work!
