RE: Upcycling Furniture

It's either nothing or a substantial coconut, just not a peanut. It feels more satisfying that way than supporting dozens of below average blogs.

This is exactly what I have always thought, felt and done (even with my private account). There are just fewer and fewer coconuts. If you find one outside the territory, everyone pounces on it... 😉

Nah, I don't think I want to look for single coconuts in the huge dung heap anymore. It stinks so bad there...
But staying in your own circle all the time also gets smelly at some point...
Well, when the gorilla shows up with his insane help and should give me/us the honour... 😂

And I always admire you (and a handful of other users) for that. I believe the pressure of maintaining a certain voting CSI caused users to give smaller votes but in a wider range (talking about private accounts). It started as a rule which has now become more of a habit.

Sometimes, I wonder if all the orcas (and all sizes of fish, for that matter) start giving votes fairly and a little more generously, then authors might not look up to 01 or 02 that much and instead focus on increasing their readership by focusing on quality and real engagement.

I definitely think you're right with your idea.
However, as I have been trying unsuccessfully for years to act as a role model in this respect, I believe that users will only realise this when 01 and 02 withdraw completely from the business... 🤷‍♀️

Nobody would/should want them to withdraw completely. Removing guaranteed votes for projects would make things slightly better, as already discussed under o1eh's post.
