That doesn't make it any better and how the fuck am I supposed to explain how all this timing at 3 or 4 minutes to maximize how your ROI works
I would just refer to it as poor behavior that should be discouraged.
Hive shouldn't be about maximizing roi, imo.
I am definitely with the lowering of the 20 hive tax.
I'd jump to 5, just to experiment.
I'm not in favor of doing away with the window, because it adds more to the game.
As for explaining it to the newbs, how more simple can you get than 'it pushes the buttons 'correctly' and it gets more munies'?
Let them learn like we did that hive is about more than just 'maximizing roi'.
Every minute of every day is dawn somewhere. If all people opened their feed exactly when the one post with a window arrived, then human attention being timed would matter. Thousands of posts arrive 24/7, and people open their feeds 24/7. WTF does the 5 min window do?
It makes it so only bots programmed to watch particular accounts can maximize ROI.
Insofar as it's possible, human interactions should be facilitated on Hive. The window almost requires that bots vote instead of people. IMHO little could be more degrading to society.
Since the value of the token and blockchain are created by the society that use them, every disruption, degradation, derangement, and deprecation of society reduces the value of the token and the blockchain. The window degrades Hive society and that reduces the value of the token because it reduces the value of Hive to the society of people that use it.
Well, when you put it that way,...
I got no love lost on the curation roi maximizers.
Can we go back to the 24 hour payout window and the 30 day payout window, except make the 24 hour window one week?
I think that would help, too.
Fiscal prudence is not bad. Bad government makes unethical fiscal management profitable, which gives prudence a bad name because it does evil.
This is why base principle matters so vitally IMHO. Granular specificity regarding underlying mechanisms is not inconsequential, but makes dramatic differences which concatenate as layers of complexity compound effects on society.
In fact it is society which matters, and tokens are of almost negligible import. Tokens to enable commerce are infinitely mutable, as the diversity of altcoins reveals. Sadly, all such tokens are seeking to benefit society most in a legal environment that prevents them from doing so by maximizing the fraud perpetuating the power of overlords.
Hive is a revolution in a very real sense, and in that sense I consider the derangement afflicting it's speech of existential import, which is why I could not more strongly oppose curation rewards that cause profiteers to autovote vapid and disingenuous content because it is fiscally prudent to do so. Trending is not the worst aspect of this derangement.
User retention is. Such derangement deprecates society upon which all the utility and beneficence Hive's tripartite aspects produce, and this degrades all three. Of the three, it is society, the users, that matters most, because it is they upon whom the rest depends.
