I had a rant going round my head before reading your rant.
It made me pause and ask ‘what is the biggest drain on the hive ecosystem?’ Like actual stats real, not just perceived.
This led to more questions,
How much is rewarded daily by the reward pool on average? What was the total of all author rewards for 2024?
How much of that stayed in wallets vs left?
How much were witnesses rewarded in a 2024? How much of that stayed in wallets vs. left?
How much did the DHF reward 2024?
How much did the Value Plan reward? (That one i can answer 1,200,000 hbd. I know because of this post from @blanchy from yesterday. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@blanchy/valueplan-the-numbers--total-payouts-in-2024-part-i )
I’m glad this rant of yours is getting a lot of traction and reward. I feel this post by Blanchy should get similar visibility and community contemplation!
I did some search queries on my above questions. But we all know how painful searching for info on hive can be. Maybe one of @dalz posts has info about some of my questions?
I really would like to know what is the greatest overall drain on the hive ecosystem.
A data driven ranking would be a fascinating read. Lol, unfortunately this Butt is not capable of generating a post like that, im just capable of wondering about it.
I appreciate your rant widening the perspective of my internal brain rant. 🙏
The more important question for me personally is the biggest drain for least amount of work/effort. "Free money" is easy to part with as they say.
I don’t disagree. I guess what I’m saying/asking is for real data not perceived.
I get that it’s nobodies responsibility to provide that data.
I’m mostly saying that with accurate info we can correctly evaluate if a said user is mailing it in with easy post, collecting big rewards, not engaging and cashing out is a bigger drain than say a user receiving 5000 hbd from value plan to race and pay repairs for a pedal bike and having no real accountability after receiving.
With accurate data we could say appreciate say 1 witness over another based on their behavior with earnings.
If say more projects funded by dhf demonstrated follow through and metrics of what was created for community and how we benefit.
Haha, shut up buttcoins…. Hive loves its black hole funding and earnings ethics 😝🤦♂️
