. I think genuine social bonds formed go beyond just being wary about what the other party thinks of you based on your wallet transactions.

isn't this what social media supposed to do? and if we claim to be different than other social media out there, that's where it differs, where social bonds formed by genuine connection. The making money part isn't so much different anywhere these days.

At the same time, I've discussed a lot with namiks about curation problems mainly those who only take but never curate others. As you can see some members over Movies on hive received this kind of badge. Maybe it's too extreme but it's a way to also help bring awareness to also give and not constantly take. There are also users who don't engage despite a lot of warnings.

So, idk but it's nice to see things are being discussed except maybe they'll remain as discussion as any other matters around here 😃
