RE: The Unfair of Fairness

in Reflections3 months ago

is wife had cheated on him and in her guilt, was just going to give him pretty much everything in the divorce. However, this wasn't enough for him and instead he went on a very public campaign to destroy the person who he had up until recently, claimed he loved.

Omg, people are children. Men can be pretty bad at this tbh - their emotional maturity is not all there. If i'm hurting, I'm going to make you hurt is such a red flag. I've lost count of messy divorces where men behave badly - not that women dont' at all, but most are men.

I was chatting to my neighbour yesterday - she's just sold her house and can't get her ex to sign the paperwork. After having two affairs and then getting criminal charges for stalking two woman, he appealed because no way did he want to do 400 hours community service, then upped and went back to America and has disappeared and wont answer any emails even though money is there for him from house sale. She supported him through the court case and gave him benefit of the doubt and has done the right thing by him and he's just shacked up with some other woman in the states (where he's from) and is stringing her out as long as possible. I mean even the fact he couldn't keep his dick in his pants is unconscionable - but to make her life as hard as he can beggars belief. We're hoping he gets taken out into the desert and shot for whatever dodgy stuff he's done out there and she can get all his cash and his super.

As for the other kind of fairness, I think some people are voting for the curation rewards or the likeability/wallet/personality of the person - they're not even reading the posts and it's nothing to do with percieved quality at all. That's what people say is 'unfair' and that's probably a 'fair' enough complaint.

And yes, you're a good player on Hive with your efforts to produce quality and consistant content. I wouldn't begrudge you your rewards at all :) xx I like what @aussieninja says below - that when you or I write a blog post, we're trying to think of the value it brings to HIVE as a valid social media platform with quality content.

These days I don't bother looking at the rewards much - it's just not worth my energy. Can't read people's minds as to what they think is 'fair' or 'unfair'. I don't even think they're using that criteria most of the time.

Yeah, we tend to be pretty pathetic. Though, I have been great! :D

:D :D

This is pretty brutal :)

Yep. I get that too. However, I also have a slightly different take on some of the large voters who don't read, but support people who they believe are getting read. If they only support what they are interested in, it likely won't spread very far. But if they support authors that others are interested in, it will go further and it will help retain and grow authors people are interested in.

The rewards are what they are. I don't seem them as a reflection of my post, though occasionally I write about something that gets interest from people who have large votes and are interested in the topic too. Then it is relative.

This is pretty brutal :)

Like wishing the assassination of certain leaders, you know I don't mean it. Maybe.

Yup. That's a healthy way to look at it.
