RE: "whale" you help me understand? 😏

Hello @owasco. I've always felt this, but seeing your statement makes it all too real for my PROFILE:

"possibly (not sure - maybe my content just sucks) blacklisted by a certain curator. More behavior modification. Stay here, make nice here, or we will not reward you no matter how good your content is."

Thanks for giving a voice to my suspicions, wondering, ever wondering, why? Because I know that my content is worthy.

Take care.

You have this problem too? It gives hive a bad vibe. I wish they would stop the downvotes, but they feel harming small accounts is a small price to pay for protecting the rewards pool. Of course, the rulers benefit from the rewards pool the most. I sometimes feel like they run people down in the streets with their carriages without a second thought. Nothing is different here than irl. The rich will always get richer, as long as they make the rules.

More to my point, the blacklist scenario.

Yes, sorry I got distracted. I believe I have been blacklisted in large part because I have argued with one of the biggest kings about downvotes, blurt, and upvoting comments. The pressure is subtle, but still very real. This is a behavior modification tactic, and a soft kind of censorship. They even try to control what we say and do on other blockchains. Agree with us, or you won't earn as much. It definitely will discourage many from coming here. I'm doing OK, not complaining, but a $50 payout now and then would sure be nice.

On this point, I agree:

"The pressure is subtle, but still very real. This is a behavior modification tactic, and a soft kind of censorship. They even try to control what we say and do on other blockchains. Agree with us, or you won't earn as much."

I also think it is an abuse to concentrate support in one area or a group of individuals, overlooking other talented authors.

When you made the statement that "no matter how good your content is, it will be overlooked", I finally realized this was what was happening in my case. However, I've decided to press on without that type of support. They're only missing out on some really nice curation rewards from a steady content producer.

Thanks for putting your thoughts out there.

Take care.
