A hive is a collection of busy workers
content producers and one queen bee.
Nectar becomes honey, honey becomes money
And benefits go around for one and all
Hive is more of a loose confederation of swarms,
a collection of busy workers, content producers
and a great many queen bees
This little old lady
did not come to Steem
to be a warrior
so I complacently did
as I was told.
I moved to Hive
“Buh Bye”
I said dully to my departing home.
So what does Hive mean to me?
I have suddenly lost one home,
been crowded into an outhouse of another,
am tasked with the upkeep of both,
and have to perform a great many more keystrokes
just to get into either.
Thanks for asking.
As I watched The Cuomo Show today, I got a sudden hankering to write a poem about coronavirus, which I consider to be but one giant and voluntary step toward the fruition of Agenda 2030.
This poem asked to be written instead. It did not just pop out; my poems never do. I worked on it for several hours.
Now that you know what Hive, so far, means to me, I will go on to discuss what changes I would like to see made so that it becomes a kinder place for new and small accounts. There are two things that HF21/22 brought to us that harmed the smaller and newer accounts quite a bit. They have both been retained in HF23 as far as I can tell.
The first of these is the upvote curve. Please have the mathematics devs take a look at the function's behavior as it nears the origin on the cartesian plane, because that there has made it nearly impossible for newbies to make even a tiny amount of Steem, and now also of Hive. The object of this initiative, like all the others, is to attract people to move to our block. It would behoove us to allow newbies to make a few more pennies on a post that took them all day or two or three to write.
Then there are the downvotes. I know, I know, a lot of you think these are a dandy idea but from where I stand they have done nothing but cause animosity and strife, like most negativity does. They have, most distressingly, made me fearful to speak my mind, as I have in this post. We'll see.
In my opinion, there is never a good reason to rob the earnings of a producer for the good of all, just as there is never a good reason to deprive humans of their freedoms for the safety of all.
I have no idea what DAO means. That's for the busy workers to answer, not the content producers, or not for this one at least.
I hope you have found some value in my musings, and I thank you for reading them.
The image is one of many marvelous photos our very own @manoldonchev has provided for our use.
Here's the link to his collection.
Thanks for the mention! Funny thing is I used a part of the very same image ;)
Hi @owasco
Thanks for the share.
I agree with you about the rewards. There should be much less awarded because of Hive Power. Us Dolphins (me) Orcas and Whales get rewarded with interest for staking HIVE. Sure, a little extra rewards for holding HP is fine, but now it is WAY too much. Let's give the minnows a chance to earn. We have enough.
Re. the downvotes. I think they do have their place, to cut out rewards for spam and plagiarism for example. I've read some convincing arguments for this. I think the way of downvoting can be improved though. Downvoting accounts might be a better (or better combined) way. Certainly Reputation system if vastly re-worked could potentially do away with the need for downvotes, but until then, i think it's needed.
Re. the DAO. Its a pot of money, which is used to fund proposals which anyone can make.
Hive Om!

A sincere and pleasant intervention. I agree with you about the "no" votes, they shouldn't exist, at least not without justification.
Greetings, dear @owasco!
Another great post I missed in the past week! How do I keep missing so many?
A hive is one queen bee; Hive is ...a great many queen bees - love it!
and
Wow, that was a high-impact line!
Sorry it took me so long to see this. As always, you nail it!
I don't think that's what dan wanted me to say. Thankfully I also don't think he actually reads my entries to his initiatives. But I'll take the money!
Thanks for your appreciation woman.
Jeez I have to put in my dang pin number just to reply to your comment. What is that? Like I said, too many keystrokes to do anything around here now. Blech.
Should I un-tweet that #posh? Oops, wasn't thinking of Dan...!!!
I don't think it matters! Thank you though.
too many keystrokes to do anything
Ditto that!!!!

Thanks. Seems not to make any difference. I also forgot to tag the twitter post properly. Getting real tired of all the hoops I have to jump through.
I hear you!
