Yeah I resonate a lot to this — I too, don’t have too much power. I vote on all my content {which is okay?!} and also just on random content I read through out the day if I catch something interesting.
I am not that great about curating new content though; I do want to support new/old creators with great content.
Yes, there are users who have a lot of voting power and vote themselves with 100%, so what do they do? They are enriching themselves, now I go to the case of users who have little voting power, they are trying hard to make a good original content, and when they see, they have very little support and that makes them discourage everything.
So we want to grow, the future is in hive.
There's nothing wrong with them voting up their content but there should be moderation in how much of your daily votes you give to yourself. It's not like there's people posting more than 2 posts that take a lot of effort per day, usually over that it'll turn into abuse as they're just posting to vote themselves (if they have a lot of vp) and becoming quite farmy.
It just takes time, and this is what I mean, smaller people need to get curated for their content or other contributions. Not everyone is an author or excellent writer and that's okay, they can be active engaging like you're doing here or do other activities and someone should reward people based on that and the content. Not just look for ways to throw his votes on himself all the time by votetrading or other schemes. The point of curation is that everyone should partake in it, that's what it's there for, not for some to hop off of it through schemes while getting higher returns off of others sacrifices or just using it like it was intended.
When @partiesjohall said “the future is in Hive” — that’s how I feel too. I forget sometimes there’s this “scheme” to vote trade or up vote ones own content via five different posts made on the same day. To me — that’s not what it’s about here. I would like to financially contribute to this platform one day. Just because I truly believe in this method of content consumption; and until then I just post my poetry and things. It’s not some get rich plan to be on here, it’s about building and investing into both my art and a community of others. This post made me think. Thank you for the read @acidyo.
I appreciate the folks on here that see it that way as well. And keeping the public aware of the ethics of the community as a whole. Abundance is wonderful; great content is better.
I have been able to write my content regarding this topic, I have been able to observe that this topic is very interesting for many users of the platform, well, but can you believe that only few people and with great reputation could visit it? as a friend said, it is an interesting topic, but as a poor little fish has published it, no one will take it into account and you will support few people....
@acidyo I appreciate in the way you focus on hive, you have told me that I have made an effort and I am on this topic, thank you. Actually I am a fish that investigated as who says a lot I would say, about hive and that is why I am here, many will not take me into account for being small and not even have support, but I tell you, that this little one will continue to strive to grow and in the future of hive, I know that many will reflect on this issue and hive will be the best.
