The bitching is dumb. So is this 50sec post being rewarded. Who fucking cares if he would rather vote Hive stuff.. maybe he likes it. And I thought we were normalizing downvotes? Or is that just for content you decide is unworthy?
The likwid account has been curating non hive stuff quite a bit and random downvotes and everyone is freaking out. I would actually say it's used for more curating than many commenting here.
I don’t even agree with the downvotes, but the response is showcasing the true issue with this place imo.
Clearly this is roasting and having fun. I'm SURE (more so now) it will be adjusted down to the couple bucks it deserves here shortly.
Only time and distribution will fix that issue. The ONLY thing that gives me any faith is that improves over time, and we are not at the constant whim of a 'benevolent' oligarchy. Even now, they should not underestimate how quickly the community will turn on them. Not all of us here are rent seeking, even though that is the basic assumption.
Thanks for dropping by.
Lol.. yes there weird benevolent leaders I keep hearing about. Odd.. I’m in the all the closed chats and see none if this. Perhaps you guys should pull your head out of your ass and stop pretending there is some conspiracy going on. Just flawed human beings trying to do their best.
Who are these people that are so bad? And why are only some bad? How come we idealize those who use other people’s HP to vote on bs like this and then try to claim they are the most amazing curators ever? Nah.. the evil guys are those other ones 👀 the ones who don’t post about how great they are I guess.
Funny you talk about turning on them.. as if somehow the people building this place need to be grateful to the ones just showing up to post.. while they are painted as evil and not shown appreciation at all.
The respect should be mutual. Yes users and content are so damn important imo.. but they wouldn’t have a site to even use if it wasn’t for those evil leaders.
Grow up.. and tame your ego a bit. It would do wonders.
The only thing that will make any of this worth a damn, if it's built and set free. In that case we all profit. If you think I am going to tip toe around people whom I have a mutual self-interest with, you've got another thing coming.
Anybody who has put any time and effort, into posts, anti-abuse, investing, is building this place.
My ego, that's rich.
I didn’t say tip toe.. I don’t tip toe and don’t expect anyone to. I said pull your head out of your ass and see the big picture. I see you bitch a lot and attack people.. and somehow think you know best. I’m telling you there is no damn evil group trying to ruin stuff .. there are people just building and doing stuff.. so I mean, that rhetoric is not only not true, but it causes a divide. “Us vs them” does nothing..
Who am I attacking? Transisto? It's true, he has a right to downvote people for stupid shit like:
I can also roast him for it. He's got a checkered past and he's erratic. What's your other example of my attacking people, @kingscrown? Do I really need to explain that leach? Any others?
Beyond that, my disagreement with reward downvotes are polite, as you have experienced. Downvotes need to be normalized as you said, and not this 'rules for thee, and not for me stuff', especially for people who should be setting the example. You're well liked obviously, are a good sport about it, and that is appreciated. My 'attacks' on real abuse can vary. Hell, I pulled my upvote from @azircon's latest posh post after voting it early, because I strive to be consistent. I commented on @paulmp's latest photo, who we are both big fans of, which was painful to do, but still the right thing to do, because I know on a macro scale, reposting of the same content for rewards just doesn't work. He needs to be aware, because people like him set the example for us all.
I and others like me have taken my share of slings and arrows for the past 2 years fighting abuse, misuse, or whatever else, and trying to do what's right here. You've passed through the SFR discord from time to time. A lot people work damn hard for ZERO in return but grief. Some of that abuse was perpetrated on steem by prominent people now on hive. I'm glad most, if not all left it on steem, and of course we can move forward. We can't all be baby birds here though, some of us need to step up and say the shit that needs to be said.
I only prefer my posts land slightly above zero, besides that I'd rather my stake appreciate and the rewards go towards content that brings people here. Appreciate the comments in any case, I'm pretty sure we agree on more about this place than we disagree, even though my tact differs a bit.
I really appreciated the comments @Joshman, so don't feel bad!
Thanks Paul!
Thanks Paul! Like Josh said, big fan of your work from your first post.
Thanks for the people who put their time and efforts for some work.. People are expecting to get noticed for there work..
Since hive is decentralized, it is perfectly within your ability and right to express your thoughts. Just like it is perfectly good to express mine. I think its a great video. Its Hilarious. Voted at 100%
I don’t need you to tell me that, I’m aware as I helped build it. Vote how you want.. I didn’t even downvote as my trail would make it look personal. Comical though those who say they are here to reward amazing creators are putting a short video bitching about a downvote on trending 🙂
I think there are options for those who hate downvotes.. seems another fork is even in the works to give more options. Oh right, but the issue isn’t downvotes.. or upvotes.. it’s that only certain people should be able to use them.
I think fighting about rewards is dumb.. I think we should be building something better.. but I guess people who have nothing to do get bored and can only focus on small things to bitch about.
Hey keep it up.. you may chase away all those building... I mean who needs them anyways, right?
If you don't tell people to grow up, I don't have to remind you what "hive is all about".
As I don't even tell my kids that they need to grow up anymore, you know why? Because, they don't like it. And it is rude.
Can we just really "grow up" as stop wasting our time on this comment storm. Don't we all have things to do? I certainly do.
Thanks for comment.
I’m glad you’re here to tell me what Hive is all about.. not sure what I would do without that. For someone who talks so much, you really are out of touch with things here.
In the meantime. I will take your word, and 'grow up'.
Thanks!
