Well it’s more terminology than structure. No one knows what anyone is doing or how badly they need the money or what people are going through in their personal lives.

The terminology though is more that it’s about someone threatening you from a position of power to do what they want you to do or risk some form of punishment be that physical / mental or by taking something from you.

I do agree with you though if you can be totally free from attachment to anything you wouldn’t care if they taunted you, hit you or took from you and ironically is likely when the bully loses all power anyways, as their only form of actual power is fear. Once that’s gone they have nothing. I think these are important topics. What is nothing to you is something to another and vice versa.

Its just easy to create that here on hive :D My posts are what yields me the lowest amount of "profit", my curation rewards are higher than my posts payouts + all of the dividend tokens I have on HE, adds a nice chunk :D I am close to being able to not post at all and still grow. I am also close to being able to stop powering down and let my posts and dividends pay for my leases^^

That sounds great personally I love posting and sharing and I love trying to support other artists who I know many are rly struggling right now, unable to perform etc. I think Uk got hit a lot worse with their lockdown measures than other places. It’s one of the things I like about blockchain platforms is they allow artists and performers a space to truly be creative and earn for that. I don’t think people should be embarrassed about wanting to earn money.

When you say curation you just mean upvoting posts early on when they get posted right, do you have a particular method? Please share always interested to learn more.

I just follow something who does a lot of manual voting aswell as support Newbie Initivite to help people get started.

The more HP you have the more Curation you earn, its quite simple xD

Vote timing is important tho no? To get in within so many minutes. I uSed to follow that stuff back in the day with the auto bots etc but not gotten back into it at all.

You can say its important to some extent now, I don't really pay attention to that, that much.
That will also completely change with the upcomming HF25.
Where the voting window is removed and you now have 24 hours to vote for a post and every vote is "equal" depending on the amount of HP.

its hP/Staked based.

Lots of the artists and creatives getting downvoted havn’t worked since last March so I’m sure they payouts mean a lot to them right now for sure.

Ye true.
But I don't see that as a Hive problem, thats a Gov problem so provide for their people in need.

Maybe I talk from a good position dno.

For sure it’s a government position many are fighting but I’m just saying that those people who are maybe a musician and havn’t been able to work or play since last March, those threats of removal of votes mean more than they do to people that are say earning 80 percent of their income from siting home arguing with people lol I’m not even saying what my life situation is I’m just generally able to see the plethora of possibilities and stand up for the underdog. For some people here that upvote could be their life out of poverty in a third world. So they are then bound to suck up and conform to all bullies and things they don’t agree with from fear. Like you said initially you were right fear is the biggest thing. Once there is no fear of loss we are truly free same goes for many things in life like relationships too.

It’s actually why I share this stuff now and get this conversation going as I don’t care anymore. I mean who doenst like earning crypto but I would no longer let people hold it over me. Back in 2017 I totally let those bullies win by not outing them and being afraid to some degree of how much power they had to just crush accounts for fun or silly personal grudges. I see that some are still witnesses now but at this point I’m past them having any power over me, maybe cause much of my other stuff has done well since in life and blockchain and I’m in a different position to a few years ago. I’m ready To open up deeper discussions on the topic for those who also want to.
