I know I can't be the only one that feels this way...

That's pretty rude.

No need to be mean

Votes given to others, are not votes taken from you. Views votes and comments all contribute to how well your submission does. No where does anyone else's submissions impact yours.

We got repost whiners, grammar nazis, now we gotta deal with front page whiners. I guess since no more downvote fairies, someone had to fill the gap.

It does make you wonder when they talk about "taking turns" if they have ever been through the "latest" releases.

I do not know how posts get comments and upviews, when they start out on page 7 of the "featured" pages and move downward quickly.

I see you have been active in comments, that is a good start. If people like your comments they start looking for your submissions including past ones. I can tell you are pretty new to this so the best advice I can give anyone just starting out is to consistently look through the latest helping others get views, comments and votes. Keep the comments polite and relevant. Seeing how people respond to them helps you get a feel for how people will respond to a submitted meme. I had to learn from experience a lot of my creations were not as great as I thought they were, humbling but true. I won't say I have changed what I think is funny, but I have (I think) learned how to present and craft better through the practice. There will always be times when we ALL think great stuff got a less than optimum release because it only got 35-45 views. The good news is if you really believe in it, you can resubmit at a different time and see if that helps you reach your audience. That's my best advice amigo, I hope you found something useful there.

Well said!

Thanks amigo!

Best of luck.

Great advice

Thanks Bud, it seems to have worked well for others that have followed it from me, AND from others who have given similar.

Yea I've learned about how to present. And what to use. Current events etc. Plus other tricks

There's a timing, just like with standup. Wish I could say I've mastered it, but I'm a slow study.

Has anyone tried downvoting memes to see what happens

The really shitty memes I've downvoted but I dont see nothin happen. The real shitty comments i downvote too, same thing. And sometime I upvote a meme and it doesn't register, so I press it a couple times n hope it eventually works.

Downvotes still work, they just aren't visible.

I would like if the downvotes came back, it was a good way to gauge your audience, what works n when. And there was something satisfying downvoting a shitty or ignorant meme. But then we would have the downvote fairy issues again.

I tend to agree although I used/use it sparingly. As I've said before it took/takes an extreme example of douchebaggery.

I hear ya. It for me is more of an upvote/ novote thing. If I like a meme upvote if not novote and really like I comment. But every now n again you get a real ignorant meme and I just gotta wield that all mighty power to crush someones spirit ha ha.

yep yep
