To be blunt here @acidyo whether whale or plankton (or anything in between) some folks are just assholes. I occasionally get curated by @ocdb and for the last many weeks I see that my own (and some other users) content gets downvoted after an obcd curation has occurred.

The accounts doing the downvoting tend to have the same amount of SP and downvote at the same percent. While this sort of 'juvenile' (obviously retaliatory) behavior does not phase me much on a personal level I cannot help but feel like myself (and others) are getting hit by the shrapnel of things that have absolutely nothing to do with us.

Sure not all my content is top-notch especially since I use low grade phone cameras that are within my budget but hey I do give each post (as other such folks working with low-end gear do) my best effort. As far as quality of content goes we are not all master writers, master editors, master image editors, master photographers or what the fuck ever but for the most part we give it (as stated) Effort! It is often a bit 'stomach turning' to see some shit-post given absolutely no effort get high rewards.

I had a point in all that somewhere but mostly I think that I just wanted to get it out of my system. Cheers and Happy Steeming!
