What are some good ways to be voting? I have found that using lists on PeakD (such as Favorites) makes it a lot easier for me to keep up with new posts that I know I will like.

What should those who are on this trail revert to doing? I’m talking about the few who consistently post something quality and power up their rewards instead of dumping. How could they be a better community member, while also not feeling like they receive too little for their own creative projects?

It’s difficult to have a balanced perspective of what is considered taking too much from the reward pool. Some places $3 is a lot. Others $50 isn’t much at all. I think that a lot of people want to be successful and most of us wish to be in a better place than we currently are. I agree that one should not take take take and never give. Maximizing profits is something of a human instinct, the same can be said for helping others. An equal effort makes sense when it comes to rewards/rewarding.

These days a lot of people have been feeling like Hive/crypto in general is their last opportunity ever to seize their own life again. Many are trapped where they are and are clamoring for a way out. I understand how we can get lost in the sauce and scour for earnings. We cannot let this disrupt the growth of where we lay our foundations.

The way I see it, the shitposters on this trail can burn. The ones on the trail who have something to offer the world and also want Hive to succeed should find a way to continue support one another. This must be done without suffocating our chances of proper distribution.

My personal position. I want to be able to rely on my content and curation as a a viable income stream. I want others to be able to do the same. It makes me happy seeing some random person, perhaps from another country, have their life changed by Hive. It also makes me want the same positive things for myself and those close to me. I don’t think we are greedy if we want the best for ourselves and our families.

I am damn proud of my work each and every day, just like many users are. I think that I and countless other individuals deserve to be rewarded for what we do. The question remains... how much & can we do it without forgetting the little guys?
