True that, good call.
Bro, I didn't know you did such regular content. Thanks for mentioning it here. I'm following now. (I think it's probably wise to mention one's own content, when applicable of course, on other people's posts. How else are people to know you're pumping out posts? Most of us don't have time to go check everybody's blog page very often.)

Hey man
thanks for the follow and i appreciate your support very much. Yes i don't like to plug myself at all, i find it hypocritical, but as you say sometimes you gotta do these things.
Much of my content here on hive is a mix of my card magic performing stuffs (which is a big hit on HIVE, as im one of the very few magicians here on this joint), and the others are my videos on extricating the system and breaking free from the corruption (most of this are collected on my odysee channel - link in my profile page here - where the truther community is larger).
Keep fighting the good fight man!
Mostly videos, nice! I used to be all video (started YT in 2008) but got into the blogging format here. I like being able to embed photos (and gifs) in the middle of some text, and I like being able to format my text a little bit (headers, spacing, etc). But the video format remains very powerful. I should do a bit more of it. Once I upgrade my PC and camera, I think that's one thing I'll do. Thanks for inspiring me :))
I appreciate that combination of topics, by the way. I don't know much about card magic but I do like it, so I'll check that out. And breaking free from the system is definitely right up my alley of course.
I hope you've been having a good weekend.
Yeah Hive seems to be geared towards article writing, yet here's a connundrum: people have short attention spans, so it makes me think how many people really really reads an entire article, without skimming? Only a very few.
Thats why i tend to go the video route, as i know people will lean more towards motion than static, if you get my meaning. If you're thinking of doing vids, i think it will be a very good call!
If you have a smart phone with a camera, you can begin filming your videos. Don't worry about the shiny new tech!
Thanks for supporting my channel man, i'm about to go play with my dogs!
May the spirit of magic stay with you, and fuck the system.
Oh what kind of dogs?
As you may notice by my blog page, all my posts have been sent to $0. Someone has stepped forward and accused me of a couple things, both of which I believe are inaccurate. So I've asked for clarification, we'll see.
And no, I don't have any smart devices... I'm one of those few people who have avoided them completely thus far :P
Speaking of "fuck the system", here is an old video of mine, where I'm smoking in the back yard at night, and listening to some random hip hop track I liked at the time called "fuck the system". Hahah.
Wow the downvote whales are operating in force!
I remember them doing the same to KennysKitchen, do you know the guy? Ultimately they made him give up on the entire blockchain. What a shame.
Have you considered making another Hive account to dodge this?
Maybe consider setting up like a buy me a coffee page where people could support you? It seems to be that you'll be taking a lot of heat for some time here on Hive and that your earnings will be fucked with.
I have two labradors, the joy of my life.
Oh yes, labs! They're gorgeous animals, and great people :)
Yeah, this is how people are removed from HIVE, without actually removing them. You can't make money, you can't reach people, you can't grow. And as your rep falls, you're barely able to be seen. It has been done exactly this way to dozens of great content-creators that I was personally aware of, which means it's happening to thousands.
Sure, I can make new accounts, like @GirlsofGreen and @FreedomConvoy, but that seems to be the main claim against me. Supposedly it breaks the rules to upvote your side projects?! That's news to me. Another opinion, which some commenters are suggesting, is that it's really about removing certain content from Hive. Generally, it's "conservative", or truth based, or "conspiracy", or freedom-oriented, or nonconformist content. You would think the blockchain would be the best place for truth-speakers, activists, and whistleblowers. But after 5 years, that has never happened, and it's because those people are de facto censored by entities with money. It's built into the system here - just another animal farm. Noticing it gets you scorned. Mentioning it gets you blacklisted.
Many of those caught up in it began because they didn't know better, and continue because it's so hard to admit one was wrong, that one's actions are immoral and hypocritical. Human psychology and this blockchain's programming/settings are not a perfect match. We get things like raging bands of hypocritical bullies, spamming nonsense to the blockchain, upvoting each other, and downvoting anyone to oblivion that threatens the existing order. And because of the nature of decentralized communities, small individuals (like myself) are defenseless against such an attack, especially when mob mentality gets rolling. The little/medium guy will jump on the bandwagon against people like me, but they won't (can't) team up against whale accounts. This allows whales to remove anyone they want, as long as a bigger whale with morals doesn't notice and step in.
Everything's okay as long as it doesn't happen to you. Staying quiet is best. Once it happens, you're already done.
Thank you for the golden advice. It's a damn shame that this has to happen to truth speakers. It's a damn shame this is happening on Hive.
what will you do now then?
