Greetings @curamax ,
Thank you for your thoughtful, well written post. Well done.
I would hope that there are many who will make their own curation decisions without sole regard to the KE number. We should feel free to do with our earnings as we wish without being apologetic.
Who knows when at any given time...any one of us...may need to power down....we don't know and I would be sorry to see Hive become dependent on that particular metric for decision making. People can bring value to Hive in other ways besides HP and do...Some have tremendous talent, others engage, etc.
Personally I appreciate privacy, anonymity here at Hive. Through this implementation of yet more billboard type declaration....it seems I have lost privacy. Yes..I know it is available information...but now it is hung on one's neck/avatar. A little while ago, it was a bee symbol attached to one's avatar, thankfully it is able to be hidden.
We, collectively, are hopefully here to showcase what we have to offer....and get to know others through mutual respect for that talent, that craft, etc....not based on whether you fit a certain rigid criteria for approval.
Thank you for your kind query.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
Thank you for that super kind and thoughtful reply dear @bleujay 🙏
You made so many good points. I really agree—Hive is so much more than numbers and stats. It’s about creativity, connection, and freedom to choose how we engage. And yeah, I feel u on the privacy bit... just cuz the info is public doesn’t mean it needs to be plastered all over our profile 😅
Thanks again for sharing with such grace 💙
