theuser47874yWell, I never really ++ anything cause I just never tend to do so, no idea why. So to be fair, I shouldnt have many ++ myself.

C0D4669444yIf a green dot says hi, I'll give him a ++
If a green dot reposts a meme for the billionth time, I just scroll on by.
I don't think there's a great divide abstracted by ++ count, there's just different types of posts getting more attention, check theabbie for example.... that guy became famous overnight, but at the same time, just posting a meme doesn't seem to drive as much attention anymore.
The more conversational a post becomes I'd bet the more it ends up in the algo feed so the more ++ it ends up getting.
Dfox might need to share the secrets behind that though to confirm or deny my suspicions. -
In germany there is a fitting saying:
"Der Teufel scheißt auf den größten Haufen."
Meaning: The devil shits on the biggest pile.
This rule seems to apply in a lot of places to a certain extend. -

On a personal scale it depends on each person but on average the answer is yes. The ++ would encourage new users. We are social beings afterall, the comments the ++ or -- are all interactions.
Nobody should be afraid to post their thoughts. Not because of grammar or judgement from other people.
We just let the other person know "hey you who is angry, sad or happy on the other side of the planet, you aren't alone" -
I don't give a fuck about points anymore.
My posts don't get that much ++, don't care.
I upvote what I like. No matter who posts or the amount of upvotes they have.
As simple as that. -
If these ++ could be exchanged for money in real life, I would have been really offended, But it can't, So, why care?
-
Guys with high ++ have been there for long and spent there time in making this community, So, they deserve this benefit.

I needed to see this. I'm new to the platform since I need an outlet to vent and rant about work since it's been stressful recently for me and I'm sometimes shy at times.

That’s how the algorithms work on any social media platform.
Not expecting it to be different here.

I see a trend here.
Posts of people with good number of ++’s get more ++’s than the posts of people with less number of ++’s. Even if the post of person with good number of ++’ is just a normal conversation starter and post of person with less number of ++’s is an actual good fucking rant.
It’s not a bad thing, per se. I hope nobody gets offended. All in good spirit.
To people with good number of ++’s:
Let’s not hold back and ++ the good content of people with less number of ++’s.
To people with less number of ++’s:
Don’t hold back your thoughts. Be free. Write free. Don’t try to make your rant to look a certain way to get more ++’s. We are all here to support.
Let’s grow together and spread positivity.
Peace.
