I'm putting together a new vid as we speak....
"...There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight, And the rage is growin'...'"
James...
It's 80% completed, so only another 2,568 hours to complete a 4 minute production...They take me ages to do - if I'm to make them in any way creatively presentable, that is...bugger.
The introduction to my video pointedly excludes (exonerates? lol) @threespeak, and @proofofbrainio ....from anything.
I have nothing but positive things to say about both of these.
This is important - for they are not 'the Hive' platform.
THEY are not the problem.
This video I'm making is about the Hive platform only, and the bizarre environment that we have going on - specifically concerning the punitive actions carried by people accounts with very few brain cells, too much stake, underdeveloped ego structures (weak ego), and expressing all the pathological characteristics of 'small man syndrome'.
It seems that the ultra weak ego's that are prevalent on this platform cannot stand the pain that I inflict on them with my truths...(Bless).
It also seems that they think I was bluffing - or simply don't care - when I said (after my previous 'no reasoned attack') , that I'd give them six days to rectify the situation that they'd caused.
So instead of 'fixing' anything - they downvoted my new post.
"...You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors..."
James
Silly midwits.
Silly collectivists.
Silly, silly, silly....
There is no real recourse to be found here on the platform - that much is now becoming blatantly obvious.
Even tagging 'whales' when issues are raised, and needs to be addressed, are met with a rebuke...(yeah, seriously!)
There IS a recourse to be found however...
.... and that's by taking it 'off the platform' and spreading THE TRUTH far and wide.
There are now too many people pissed off with all this shit...
ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC THINGS THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE FOR ME TO INCLUDE, IN THE VIDEO THAT I'M MAKING??
I was hoping a larger account would step in (sarcasm - I mean step up!), but the longer I look, the more I'm convinced that many of them are complicit in their own downfall...Bless.
Stupid midwits people accounts would prefer to sink with a ship and 'have the powerrrrrr', rather than admit they're as insecure as fuck, useless at most things that require any degree of innovation and originality, and possess less common sense than your average amoeba.
So be it.
The shit that's been dumped on me for no good reason, is now gonna be spread far and wide.
I will tell the truth.
I will offer conjecture.
I will let people draw their own conclusions from the information provided.
...And I will be advising people to not invest in - or join - the Hive platform - until things change (noticeably, and not just words).
I will also name the specific accounts involved , as I see these as being largely responsible for the corrupt shit show that is hive (the same shit show as with steem, not much different).
Once the video has been spread far and wide, I will then be commenting on accounts , ones that I see as being part of the cabal, with a minimal down vote - and the reasons behind it, with a link to the video, and thus letting other people who are not aware of the situation, the actual reality of things...
....these accounts , by my guesswork, make up one small cabal, working together, to stifle anything that they disagree with - on ideological grounds - or even personal dislikes, and are motivated by greed and maximizing their returns via the inflationary reward pool.
(all this conniving is going on in the background, on discord. See below for more confirmation of this)
...They sell the 'community' angle simply as a vehicle to reap the rewards. (typical lefty, commie, globalist, politician, strategies)
See these comments below, made by @palikari123 and @ultravioletmag
READ THEM !
I have no reason think that they are lying, and they only serve to confirm my suspicions regarding those that makes up 'the cabal' that I mentioned above.

I never shared this before and did just to you on blurt but when I joined in 2017 I was in steem chat and got invited to a private steem chat 2 by a guy in there. Acidyo, m31, tarazkp, Kyle ( who I have nothing bad to say about that I saw) were all In there with lots of others. They used to laugh at newbies and threaten to flag them and ruin them constantly. They would share their posts in the chat and laugh about how stupid they were etc. They would say vile things about people starting out and have everyone living in fear of being reduced to a 1 rep. They actually went for a few people who maybe just disagreed with them on some topic and would flag everything and take them done to one rep. It was so childish it was unbelievable. When I fell out of favour they muted me and wrote rly horrible things and shared my twitter or Instagram posts etc and made personal comments about me so I could see but not respond lol. They supported one another constantly and would just laugh and desecrate newbies they had no interest at all in helping build new people, only to laugh at them and threaten them for ‘fun’.
And a big shout out to @ultravioletmag71 for showing more courage than most.
Then there are these comments...
@palikari123 ...5 days ago
Lmao. Tarazkp helped inspire this post! That guy is a total clown. Both he, and his boyfriend are clowns. It's a comedy show I tell you. He is one of the guys that has no problem with any of this (and is a part of it, by using indirect methods), because he swims/is part of the collective abuse team, where they get to decide what is, or what is not acceptable content (or comments for that matter, where I was on the receiving end on one of his posts). They get 'others' to do the dirty work for them, so their name is not associated with the direct action.
The most hilarious and ironic part of this however, is that they circle-jerked with some groups or people, who created content similar to ours during their 'ass-licking' days, to get to where they are today. Isn't that weird? Well, maybe not! Because it makes complete sense!
However, now that they have so much influence on the brainwashed plebs who visit their blogs, they don't like any real competition to their own regurgitated content that is dressed up as some type of philosophical hub for blockchain newbies...
C'mon dude, if you want to learn how to be successful on this blockchain, then you must follow and use the knowledge of the Zen master himself. You can have it all, if you just follow all his golden rules, or "commandments".
Anyway, monopolies are great aren't they? These clowns, are now the official hive "fact checking" department, while at the same time bashing social media outlets like facebook/twitter for their centralisation/censorship. But they are acting in exactly the same way with their actions lmao....They have all that power and stake that is 'centralised' within these 'groups', or 'wallets' that can be used to decide on behalf of everyone else what is or what is not acceptable content. LOL, It's not censorship dude.
It's still on the chain where nobody can read it, or it has been downvoted off the trending feed so it gets less views. What is wrong with you. That is not censorship man.
That is the giant pile of crap they spread like a virus to all their followers, and unfortunately they buy it. And we both know the reason why!
It's too hilarious I tell you. That cognitive dissonance has been deep-rooted into the denial of their own entitlement, while telling all the plebs who dare compete with them, that they are not entitled to anything unless they conform to their own policy's and ideas.
That is how it all works, after you work your way up the ladder. By inserting yourself into all the special and untouchable circle-jerks, or what they like to call "community groups" aka "curation groups", then you basically are a part of/have a huge influence in all of them, then you have yourself a monopoly on the blockchain and it's perceived policy's. I say perceived, because that is the magic trick here. They spend their entire time on this blockchain, literally trying to brainwash their followers into thinking exactly like them. Unfortunately for their devoted followers, they are being hood-winked into falling for that magic trick. The magic trick that gets them to buy into the whole deal, that mainly benefits them and their special little circle, as long as they abide by the commandments of their leaders, at all times.....or else!!!
He is basically what I would call, a blockchain televangelist. Uses the same magic tricks as any religious/cult leader to get you to hand over your money (or in this case, votes for life).
Those guys do not give a shit about any of this...because it is profitable for them to NOT to give a shit about it. He constantly repeats this garbage on a cyclical basis, to make sure he keeps the plebs in line. If you want proof of how effective this garbage is, then read the comments of all their brainwashed followers. They literally go around defending them and their weak philosophical arguments without having any clue of why, they are being hood-winked.
Stop it with your entitlement! We have a monopoly on the rewards pools here! We are self-appointed spiritual leaders on a decentralised platform!
This is the mentality that justifies the excuse to remove rewards or punish the efforts of a content creator they either don't like or agree with, or have those rewards returned to the pool and redistributed back to the trending feeds. And those trending feeds are full of their own content/curation content that they are part of.
(emphasis added)
No self-interest there!
The poor plebs will always buy it though, because there is not other way to get their content monetized. It's a vicious circle that leaves them little choice. They need to go to the ZEN master and learn all the golden rules of success!
I just want to thank them in advance, for the downvote on this comment :)
A big shout out to @palikari123 , for posting this very good comment.
THIS IS MY TAKE ON THE THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS:
People that have had their first ever real taste of 'power' (i.e large stake) are drunk on it.
I have been there myself, many years ago. I know how intoxicating it can be.
'THEY' have let hubris (and ideology) , get in the way of good business practice.
'THEY' would prefer to 'play god' in a tiny pond (hive) and 'show their power', rather than be adults.
As @angryman just pointed out - When (if) the token price collapses, they'll blame it on everything and anything - except for their own incompetence, their own juvenile behavior, and their own hubris.
What find really hilarious about the current state of affairs (in regards to purely my own account), is that IF I was left alone to post my truths - NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING!, from my side.
THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS (AND EVEN THIS POST) IS AS A DIRECT REACTION TO THESE TOXIC ACCOUNTS BEHAVIORS...
In the name of wanting hive to thrive - I offer this one last time....
UNDO the recent downvotes, and THEN upvote my post - 100% ...as a sign of goodwill, maturity, and a desire to wanting to go forwards (not backwards).
(I DO NOT expect this offer of 'a truce' to be taken up, lets just be 100% clear about this..)
.....Silly midwits.
The things midwits do when their self inflicted social embarrassment (for being utterly fucking stupid), becomes all too much...
Long live @proofofbrainio and @threespeak !
....I'll continue to try and point out the kind of brain cancer midwittery that currently infests hive...(Better to halt it in it's tracks).
Sarah Louise Johnson has a bigger set of bollocks on her than some of the "blokes" this post is directed at. Hilarious.
Hey @lucylin. Thanks for posting this. It seems that there really are many more people that are pissed of about what's going on than I had realised. I haven't really followed the blog space very closely since I stopped blogging myself (apart from visiting a few blogs on the regular via gina notifications).
Well, I have had the chance to catch up with some leads from a couple of posts, including this one.
I would like to ask though, which post or conversation is the below quoted from?
Thanks!
There you go matey - the post and convo's...
https://peakd.com/hive/@steevc/the-sky-is-not-falling
i just scrolled down the convo - it's either been edited (a couple of things similar) or it's from another feed - contact her maybe -it's on the blockchain somewhere!
that's from a few days ago from the comment feed (@ultravioletmag71 ....7 days ago)...i just tried searching for post title - got a '404' on her link/account....strange...
I'll have to check laters for the post
You need to cut the 71 off the end :D
lol - I got there - durr! lol
HIVE!D
I'm setting up Travel Plans to address this problem (or my part in it) PERSONALLY!
There absolutely IS a Criminal Element in HIVE trying deliberately to INFECT it with much of what You have already addressed here. I'm also happy to add names but I believe the Direct approach will have the best success... for me.
I never believed that as a kid, before age 35, but I kept seeing it happen over and over...well, I'll just say I wish I could still believe in Santa.
On one hand, I think you've heard me say that HP can be used as the HP holder sees fit in several posts. On the other hand people see fit to do self-destructive shit all the time.
and people using their HP to drive out newbs is a self-destructive act. People using HP to drive off "lesser" content creators is another self-destructive act. How are these self destructive? If nobody is around to provide a demand for the coin, it loses it's value. It's akin to corporate execs constantly chasing short-term profits at the expense of long term stability AND profitability. Look at the folks that jumped ship when Steemit when 50/50,,,they went to worthless Weku...many never came back. Look at the long term harassment of @valued-customer.
Content may be king, but a coin must have value to support the platform that content is distributed on.
I was going to end with a metaphor re big time poke players laughing as the passed money back and forth...while burning the money; couldnt quite pull it off.
good night

We will have something soon as well, be on the look out ;)
I look forward to your next post and video.
jeez man, you really are trying to stir up everyone on this platform eh?
You gonna include screenshots or evidence of these things?
...if speaking the truth 'stirs up the platform', maybe it's indicative of the degree of stagnation ?
You ain't seen nothin' yet...you'll love my post that I'm finishing off right now!
(The vid is not gelling as want it to -quite yet - so trudging forwards slowly, but headed in the right direction..)
Listen, soon as that vid goes up the lotion gets put on the skin or it gets the hose again!
@tf writing.
My hose is now pointed towards the rest of the internet,and every social media platform I can sign upto - and it's getting ready to seriously fucking spray!
(did you see the smoothy downvote? lol)
According to Schumpeter, the "gale of creative destruction" describes the "process of industrial mutation that continuously revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one"
And guess what?....I'm feeling so fucking creative right now !
*Due to unforeseen circumstances (the actions conducted by the terminally stupid) my video will now be re-edited, and a be few minutes longer....
I'll try and post it later today - before I 'spray it all over the rest of internet'...
Who knows ?
Maybe the terminally stupid with have a moment of clarity and undo the shitstorm that they've caused...
...I hold out no hope, but the self preservation instinct of losing lots wealth due to their actions might kick in...(forever the optimist)...
" I'll act like a complete wanker to authentic content creators, and risk bad publicity all over social media, potentially driving down token price...that's because I"m clever..."
I'm not sure what is going on, but I think I'll get some popcorn.
I've been saying this since I started here in 2016. Flagging needs to follow a very specific set of rules and there needs to be a provision made for dispute resolution when people abuse the function. That's the nature of people being social. They say stupid things. If flagging is done when people say stupid things, you're not allowing them to be social any more.
Also, this is supposed to be a self organizing system with anarchic structure. People spend way too much time forming groups for the purpose of curation IMO. The good stuff will rise to the top on its own Because people will just like it more. If you meddle with it, you can only make things worse, and I think we've got enough data with 5 years of this nonsense to vindicate my original assertion. A bunch of great content producers have been driven off the platform and it never scaled. Something is obviously broken.
I agree with you. A set of reasons to downvote would be appropriate. I have always been under the impression that an upvote represents the value of the post to the community as a whole and a downvote shows that it has no value for the community. I don't look at NSFW material on here. I don't think it has value for me, but I wouldn't take my time to downvote it because I'm sure someone is getting value from it. On the other hand, if someone is plagiarizing, and I can prove it, I'll downvote it.
