There are, or were, a lot of people that would talk "skin in the game" talk. Mostly I would ignore them, even when I first started on the block chain road of alternative discovery. "Skin in the game" just means they were not able to grow an account from the ground up, so they bought a lot so they could feel good about themselves, not all of them of course, but it seems to me quite a few.
Just because a person is rich does not make them more human and less fallible than a poor or middle class man or woman.
And just because you guys constantly spew hate and nonsense doesn't make you intellectual.
And exactly where and what post have I spewed hate? nonsense yes because I do have a tendency to enjoy having fun on a wide variety of topics, intellectual??? me I think not, you really have the wrong person if you think I have ever professed to be an intellectual!!
I have a lot of comments on hive and steem combined according to hivebuzz that number is 21232, I doubt that you would be able to find five if even that many.
I have never retaliated via down votes on a post that went against my belief system. I have down voted Plagiarism and maybe one spam poster, that is it. I have never down voted someone Just Because someone else gave an account a big vote.
There are a lot of people from a lot of different parts of the world that have a different moral code than I have. I can live with that, a lot of people can not. So they retaliate via down votes. The retaliate via irrational rants, I find a lot of things funny, and amusing, some rants can be down right hilarious.
Thanks. I never thought you are an intellectual :) I was trying sarcasm and failed :)
What is that phrase again? Giving someone their own medicine?
And after this many months/years on hive/steem we have failed to educate you on the simple fact that downvote is not retaliatory it is simply disagreement on rewards.
If you do not like downvotes; there are other blockchain social networks available that may suit you.
The only people the down votes are disagreement on rewards is for those that have Skin in the Game for the vast majority of the community conscious people the down votes are reserved fro plagiarism and spam, not to effectively remove or prevent an individual utilizing the vote system for curation rewards. IE; down voting the vast majority of post that haijin and traflager vote on in order to minimize their rewards and a few others.
You can justify your spite and other individuals spite to large votes from them, (haejin, rancho, traflger and there is a couple others), all you want, until the ability to down vote and remove the vote from the individual that cast the excessive vote is implemented then your's and everyone else's down vote for reward dispute is empty justification and hollowness on your part and all the other down voters for reward dispute.
Look at the trending list - if you really want to down vote for reward distribution. Justify why they are rewarded so much. As I said the excuse for down voting for reward dispute is empty and hollow.
There are people that enjoy the style of this particular post, there are people that enjoy the one screen shot of a technical analysis post with 50 words. There are people that enjoy seeing pictures and reading stories. The only reason for down vote for rewards dispute is because the down voter either does not like the poster, does not understand the post, or is anti to what the poster is presenting, or the real truth - they are punishing the person that gave out a big vote because they could.
You clearly are not an intellectual @bashadow. You are a damn Oracle!!
Just because a person is rich does not make them more human and less fallible than a poor or middle class man or woman.
you're a hive blashphemer ! lol
Carry on with that kind of talk, and you'll be getting as many downvotes as me!lol
Life happens, I don't post often any more, well never really posted a lot, I sometimes share stuff I like.
Those that down vote for reward dispute will never change, they are going to always be around trying to control the narrative. The only opinion that matters at the end of the day for them is their own opinion.
I agree.
And the actions of the weak ego's helps to create such a solid foundation for a 'revolutionary web 3.0, social media platform' , doesn't it? (sacrc).
English is my 3 language so i could be wrong, but i thought Skin in the game means exactly that, there is skin to be lost if shit goes bad.
in the example of "Do you know why surgeons don’t perform surgery on close friends , relatives , or spouses?" the skin in the game would be that you f up and do something bad to your friend... Or if you do it as a job on person that you don't know and you f up skin in the game is that you will lose your job and not work again as a surgeon.
not having skin in the game would be if a surgeon is doing an brain surgery and you walk in as a random guy (not working there, no one knows you, you just ended up there and have nothing to lose) and you are convincing the surgeon that he is doing things wrong and he does not know how to do his job.
Does that mean the the surgeon is 100% right or that you are 100% wrong? No. but does that mean that surgeon will get fired if he listens to you and fucks up and you will just walk away with no consequences? 100%
A medical doctor is not going to try and remove you from life intentionally. There are measures in place to prevent doctors from trying to intentionally do wrong. There are zero measures in place to prevent malicious down voting taking place on Hive, and removing peoples ability to participate in the Hive Social side.
There are measures in place to prevent some no skin in the game walking in on a surgery in progress. There are measures in place to prevent a no skin in the game, from trashing a skin in the game account, that being the amount and in-ability of a small account being able to in reality down vote and cause damage to a much much larger account.
There is ZERO ability for a no skin in the game account to protect itself from asshole Skin in the game accounts.
Downvoting doesn't prevent someone from participating in the Hive social side. Assuming by that you mean communication. And you can tell from his subsequent comments that the OP knows this. Downvoting is a redistribution of rewards away from one post to other posts. As it happens, I think the current system on Hive is far from perfect, but until we can make improvements, we operate within the confines of the current rules.
