By the way, who is operating the @plonketypiano account? As going after people like me seems odd when there's people with 60k HP in author rewards, 2.7k in curation rewards, and effective HP currently at 1.9k HP and they're making getting curated $20 - $150 a post with nobody seeming to care. Almost 1k HP in author rewards a month (excluding beneficiaries)
It is a bit odd to get this treatment with less author rewards (present and historically) and higher curation rewards than them when that takes place ignored.
I have no idea. However, I support the action of that account. A much needed tool for slight reward adjustment.
Look at the benefit, without that account would you have a conversation with me? :)
Yeah I'm not opposed to it. But in that case better transparency is needed. Almost screams conflict of interest when the account is anonymous and there are people making (and have made) 2x, 3x, 5x more. Took me a few minutes to find much higher earning accounts that haven't had their chance at reading some poetry yet and I'm sure they never will. Ah, Hive. :^)
Even then, I do think context matters in some situations. During the pandemic era I was having to sell off almost all my Hive just to help my mother keep her house and afford food given the skyrocketing costs of things in the UK.
Yeah I do appreciate those recommendations. Going travelling tomorrow and my time will be thin but I'll take a deeper look and see if they also lead to similar accounts to check out.
