RE: Struggles I face As A Small Creator On Hive/Steemit
Sadly it appears that the bulk of upvotes on SteemIt are controlled by bots. The bots tend to upvote just before 5 minutes. They appear to concentrate on authors who reliably get upvotes.
I am not sure what one must do to reliably get votes. One must somehow find a community where people with over $0.02 worth of upvotes bump up the rewards.
Sadly, I don't know the formula and my upvote isn't large.
You might try sending 10% of your rewards to null. The account @ctime might upvote your posts. I am not certain about the formula used by the ctime bot.
It was hive where i was accused of account farming. Hive was created after the new CEO of Steemit took over if I remember right.
Its possible what you said at the beginning was my case. Hive watchers chose to accuse me of cheating instead of confirming if I knew about it.
HiveWatchers was extremely aggressive after the break up. They wanted to avoid the situation where people dropped the same posts on both platforms.
SteemIt punished HIVE users in similar ways. It was a bad break up.
Having the same post appear on multiple sites is actually an SEO nightmare. Google down grades web sites that have similar posts. When sites have too much duplicate content, Google simply removes links to the site from its search engine.
NOTE: The cookie cutter sites on HIVE had a rel="canonical" reference on each page. When done correctly a canonical structure is supposed to improve the SEO.
I still use both platforms, but I avoid putting the same content on both sites. For example, I am playing inktober. I am putting an AI image on SteemIt and an hand drawn image on #hive.
they could just say that instead of downvoting and running away.
Communication goes a long way
