Thanks for reply!
haejin/rancho are not the answer to every meh in trending and you know that. There are big accounts, well known accounts that have a pattern on their votes. There are accounts spreading the stake in different accounts and then all accounts upvoting every day on the same guys. Why spreading? To make it feel not so biased? Trying to make us stupid? This I call hypocrisy.
Don't gonna explain more about hypocrisy, not because I have any afraid to talk or mention people, I haven't, but because it takes a lot lot of time, now imagine what I see every single day happening... And I'm sure you also see! But I also understand we can't be 24h in Hive or take care of everything... Each one have priorities and you have yours.
Like I said, we need more diversity, much more! Like OCD does. We need less circle voting, and if it's difficult to convince "haejins" and "ranchos" of that, I think it's more easy to convince the rest of big accounts.
One more example of hypocrisy? Lol
I admit I'm kind of romantic on this theme.
"I love Hive"
My ass!!! They love the money that can take from Hive, all is still not enough!
About OCD you don't have to explain anything, I wish there were more OCDs in Hive. Without diversity and plurality, decentralization is just theory because dpos is good but not the cherry on top of the cake.
I'm logged in on @ocd here and zoomed out to see where the posts we've upvoted start coming up.
I'm not sure what accounts you're referring to exactly other than say leo.voter/appreciator but I do wish there was more transparency there and that they had a bit stricter requirements for their votes which often seems to place posts on trending with few if not any comments which may not be a great look to outsiders.
You can also look at Dan, Dan alts, most part of Dan delegations and so on. He is doing good in projects and no one want to mess with him because of that and because his power due the stake and influence in others but I'm free and use to talk if I think something is not ok (of course I not always right and my opinions are my opinions), and in this case I think he could do much better where it concerned to curation. Of course is his stake and he should do what we want with his stake, like I do with mine. But he personally could do better in curation. There are a kind of circle voting over there and it's not necessary, all could benefit with better curation, even him.
In conclusion, we all could do better, it's just a question of taking the eyes for awhile from the mirror. For some the better they get the more benefits to all, for others, small ones, their improvement might not have to much impact to all but at the end everyone's efforts are better to all.
