There is absolutely no counter-argument to this evidence. Why the heck did your blog get downvoted and other one get upvoted?!

And the other blog doesn't even make much sense , because you had posted the exact same thing.

      That's why I'm Pupil despite doing CP consistently for last 6 months.

lmao there have been plenty samples of ratism everywhere. Since we all share similar interests most people obviously tend to respect people who're really good at this

If you analyze the posts in-depth, you'll notice that the master rated person provided much more info than you did, like how much contribution Monogon's at, how much is Errichto at, from which round did this happen, even the link to it!!! Also, not to mention he put some effort in the picture he posted whereas you just put a screenshot.

CLEARLY, those upvotes were all deserved, whereas you should have been banned for making such a useless post.

    I don't care too much about contribution myself. I am just pointing out that the system is completely broken.

I think both of these posts are trash and should be downvoted.

Think good. At least you get more points if you have same performance with him in a Rated Round :D

There's certainly some ratism in Codeforces. However, contribution is also stupid and meaningless, so it's fine!

It must be reverse ratism because lior5654 is LGM skill

    tbh , it sounds very rude to mock him by saying he has LGM skill. Please don't use sarcasm like that. You want to say that if one has more skill then one should get more upvote ?

    Please learn how to be down to earth from other good coders.

      My intent isn't to mock him. I have talked with him a lot and I admire his dedication and ability to learn new topics fast.

        Thanks Monodad, but that is not called LGM skill at all. AC blurples are bricks.

Conclusion: if you care about contribution, I think you should be pretty careful with what you post and comment, especially if you are under CM... because of ratism, you will have a higher chance of getting downvoted. This carefulness doesn't apply only to funny posts/comments, but also sometimes when writing an opinion/suggestion or asking an actually good question.

Sometimes it feels really bad when someone ask for help and instead of helping him/her, people simply downvote it. This is really demotivating especially in the starting days of your CP Journey.

    I agree both blogs are shit. but the issue is the difference, not the counts by themselves.

      The question is, who cares? You just added another meaningless blog to recent actions.

        What’s your definition of “meaningful blogs” then? Of course, educational blogs like the ones Errichto or SecondThread wrote are very helpful, but the thing is, not everyone has the ability to do so. I feel like this blog is just fine.

          I don't think it is necessary that everyone has the ability to make quality blogs.

I don't want to disappoint you, but contribution mostly measures how low-rated people upvote(since there are most of them on this site). So you can blame only low-rated people for ratism. How ironic.

the fact is that if you shitpost at low rating you get punished, it's deserved. if you shitpost at high rating you get ++contribution, which is undeserved, but you better not shitpost at low ratings and don't get no --contribution

This doesen't meann nothing. See, I posted this blog, and it got 100+ upvotes. I posted the exact same thing 5 hours before and it got -30 upvotes. The only thing I changed was a note at the end saying that I was resposting it because it got hidden. The number of upvotes from a blog doesen't only depend on your rating. It will also depend on comments and when you published it. The first time I posted that blog, someone downvoted it, and people consequently started downvoting it too. The next time I posted it, I had many comments and many upvotes. Exact same account, the only thing that differs the blogs are the time they were published.
