I don't go digging for drama, but in my opinion, generally if you have issues with someone, sort it out with them rather than post about it online :D
It has now developed to be a way to challenge myself as reading and writing aren't typically my strengths, and to absorb different viewpoints.
I think this is what more people should be doing in this space, rather than trying to monetize everything. I believe that what is learned here will have far more real-world value than most people will actually get from their earnings on a post.
As if you focus on a lot of the major post there is normally a circle of individuals that upvote each other vs reaching out to find new content and people.
This depends how you look at it. for example, I probably get a fair few votes from the same people, but it is quite widely spread - however, I have also been posting daily here and interacting with the community for very close to 5 years already, so I have built up a following of people who trust me and my content enough to consistently support it. This is part of life too - we all have histories that should follow us to some degree, otherwise "work experience" is useless.
The more the space expands, the wider the support range gets and in time, all kinds of people will be doing all kinds of things - and the second layer apps will have a huge amount of value, underpinned by the first layer of the blockchain.
don't worry too much about up and down votes and instead, just do your thing.
I'm not sure how to do quotes so I can respond to particular statements.
Yeah it is hard to resolve against a wall as I was told to **** off as in my post suggested. That was quite abusive and because of 1 post he chose to downvote many of my comments/post neutralizing countless hours of work.
Yeah I agree, but the money does help to be honest as not everyone is financially secure. For me luckily the growth is far more valuable to me or else I would have just quit and I'm sure behavior like that would have made most people quit. People should be able to disagree with people and call out wrong doings without fear of backlash. When people are afraid to upvote a post due to backlash from an individual that is censorship at it's best. It even lead me to be fearful of them so I asked anyone that cared about my content to upvote to consider changing the percentage to 0 to be safe after hearing that comment from several individuals.
Yeah my main focus is now going to be on layer two now and what type of innovation and process the tokenomics present as I'm probably not going to be vested into hive tokens itself much unless some major fundamental changes occur, but a gradual hp increase will be fine.
Yeah I haven't hence why I have been choosing to comment a lot more vs making post. Because when I make a post it typically feels somewhat draining to me and whenever I get upvotes but no comments feels rather disheartening as I typically value comments far more than upvotes although I am appreciative of them.
Hive uses mark up - to quote you just need to put a > at the start of the sentence and then leave a space for the reply :)
"> like this" without the quotation marks.
Not that many really. Some rage quit, most come back. I have takenmany downvotes over the years for months on end at time from very large accounts. As said, best just to get on with life, keep doing what you do, the way you want to do it.
don't confuse censorship with income suppression. Hive allows people to say what they want and it is protected by the blockchain - it doesn't mean it comes with earnings though.
Layer two really is where the value will be in the future for content creators, with Splinterlands a good indicator of what is to come on the internet in general.
There is a lot of fun to be had here, just don't take the drama too personally, as people often do it for that exact reaction.
But it is censorship though well at least on neoxian's standpoint if it was removed from his layer 2
Also the negative votes makes it harder in terms of your content to be found from my understanding. Luckily for me I am somewhat of a marketer and had the post on several platforms
But still 1 persons downvote that is able to neutralize countless of hours of work by hundreds of other upvotes feels a bit silly.
Yeah I am quite enjoying this deep dive into various layer 2 and different coins/projects on hive.
Are there some projects you'd recommend/miners . I'd of course do my research on each of them just good to hear various people's thoughts.
The layer two interfaces are centralized, the content written to the blockchain is not.
Downvotes don't make it harder to be seen, upvoted make it easier. In general though, it doesn't have a huge effect unless being upvoted into the top of trending or communities.
This is a stakebased system and it is unapologetic of that. It has its pros and cons, but overall, creates a far healthier space for most creators.
I think leofinance is the place to check out for the best advice on layer two as well as other projects.
Thanks for your time and answers I won't take up anymore of your time it was greatly appreciated
you are welcome. You type far faster than I do! :D
yeah lol playing a lot of mmo's and online games make me naturally a really fast typer lol reading now is another concern. I probably will be moving to more 3speak platform to be honest, but there are just some really quality content here on hive I'd like to consume so probably 70-80% 3speak and rest on other areas of hive so I can make better use of my time.
I watch and listen to videos at 1.5-2x speeds.
