Am I correct when I say, most of these projects are changing their business models?
I was reading through pharesim's post, and it seems like the wind is shifting. And, luckily for us, for Hive, we seem to be avoiding another downvote war. Which, at these prices can't be that great.
Ya'll make it sound like a few downvotes here and there are that bad when some of these projects have been feasting on delegations and higher apr than regular stakeholders and authors not participating in such schemes for years now. It's weird to me how many keep defending this shit and underplaying their effects while trying to make us who still care about curation out to be the assholes making life hard for the leeches.
c'mon bro, that's not a fair thing to say. I challenge you to find a single post, comment or soundbite where I called you or pharesim an asshole.
I'm attempting to live in reality. Life is compromise. People are people.
I'm serious, the podcast should be out soon. You find me a part when I called you or pharesim assholes or I defended leeching and I'll eat my words and apologize to you publicly.
I didn't say you, but people who've been here long enough to see what we've gone through in the past with vote selling shouldn't be all that neutral and trying to play nice with both sides either imo. There were people who tried to play both sides during the centralisation of the chain as well instead of calling shit for what it was.
I'm not neutral on vote selling. I will be putting out "my position" on it later today. I think it's like smoking cigarettes. I can't stop you from doing it, but don't expect me to applaud you. You know this. (i mean, not you, the vote buyer/seller)
The people that acted neutral with Justin's takeover. Some were just confused, but some of them lacked resolve. FOMO of a kind. Honestly, the only person I feel bad for "losing" is exyle, who I always thought, and still do, is a great dude. But all the rest of judases, couldn't care less.
