[20:26:36] and the downvotes signal to the artist that maybe that wasn't the best choice to draw right? [20:26:42] no [20:26:49] downvotes are most commonly used by two camps: [20:26:52] 1. idiots who cant use filters [20:27:04] 2. people trying to make a point that nobody gives a fuck about (usually "fuck this artist") [20:27:14] you think fetish art is objectively bad because it's niche? [20:27:19] are you okay? [20:27:33] "i dont like this so this is bad" [20:27:39] i mean, i dont think ive ever used downvoting on the site [20:27:40] ever [20:27:43] i upvote and favourite stuff [20:27:46] mostly RD stuff [20:27:48] I think I used it once to be funny [20:27:49] but i dont downvote anything [20:27:53] her. The actual "rape" was some shit man [20:27:56] *sigh* [20:28:00] Don't forget that some artists like seeing downvotes or like seeing how many they get [20:28:09] Not every artist sees an downvote as a fuck you [20:28:09] yeah but those are gonna be fine [20:28:12] but the sensitive ones [20:28:14] * The-luna-fan (The-luna-f@181.57.lng.ulq) has joined [20:28:15] are not gonna be fine [20:28:22] one camp isnt gonna ragequit [20:28:25] which one do you please? [20:28:27] hint: the one that will [20:28:28] Giving people downvotes was a mistake. [20:28:33] 100% agree [20:28:45] i learned i wasnt downvoting correctly so i removed the ~50 downvotes i had :D [20:28:50] lol [20:28:55] like, that's a point right there [20:28:58] "i wasn't downvoting correctly" [20:29:00] It has its place on YouTube, because content creators care mainly about money and views, not votes. Votes there serve some sort of purpose. [20:29:05] there's literally criteria for you to follow to downvote [20:29:12] otherwise it's a bad downvote [20:29:16] Here, votes become the primary thing for content creators to care about...that's really bad. [20:29:43] We also don't hav the insanely good algorithms, nor quantity of things, to get people moving thru related content they'll like, like YT does. [20:30:08] then let's come up with some [20:30:14] pls no [20:30:17] pls yes [20:30:20] Way too much scope. [20:30:21] the youtube of ponies [20:30:25] ponytube [20:30:28] derpitube [20:30:32] We don't hav the servers, nor the content inflow, to do it. [20:30:40] We used to have a "related images" thing that didn't work very well and was removed because it didn't work very well [20:30:50] lets get more servers in antarctica then \o/ [20:30:51] we can probably pull it off [20:31:00] * soundtea has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:31:03] the servers, I mean [20:31:10] we now have far more images on the site, too [20:31:13] * The-luna-fan has quit (Client Quit) [20:31:14] but content inflow will be nightmarish [20:31:19] When you are primarily a gallery, votes serve little purpose. FiMfic has the same problem. [20:31:31] •byte[]> then let's come up with some [20:31:40] people go to university for a Bach in that [20:31:42] then a Master's [20:31:43] then a Ph.D. [20:31:46] and they still do a SHIT job [20:31:49] you will not do any better than them [20:31:57] I don't need to [20:32:01] it's just a little tired, but Ponycon was a 3 drink minimum for something to do and he just said that because of my [20:32:08] * Joey-AFK is now known as Joey [20:32:16] I just need to make something acceptable that will keep people moving [20:32:55] Here's a quick and dirty keep it moving sort of thing - a keyboard shortcut to go to the first artist tag on an image, eg. "a" [20:33:02] If you do it badly, you end up with the same problems we hav. [20:33:07] equally at all what he thinks he's as bad as the .ru derpibooru url? [20:33:11] if you add keyboard shortcuts to the site without modifier keys [20:33:17] i will literally delete your account from the box [20:33:20] The best thing to do is to atrophy downvotes slowly over time until we can kill them without many caring. [20:33:27] oh you mean like j k s l and all the others? [20:33:44] there are already modifier keys [20:33:50] maybe you forgo
