Anyone who thinks that the third-world countries are leeches should ask themselves if most communities in the hive can thrive without the engagement of the third-world countries. They may have the resource but engagement is the life of this platform.
If only they will know that most people surviving through their hive earning badly wishes they can stake it for the future rewards. Take away people ability to survive on their hive earning and watch hive become like a ghost town.
I don't see why will anyone worry about someone surviving on hive someone earn legitimately when the system already take cares of that through curation reward.
In as much as I will never support any bad actors which caught across all countries on the hive by the way, I see anyone who focuses only on the bad actors from third-world countries as not being fair.
Having say all these, we need to work harder as a community to build and be able to support one another. Educate anyone we are introducing to the platform to stick to the rules.
I really commend all what you are doing for all African hivers, may your strength and wisdom continue to grow.
This narrative is rooted in racism. They attribute the action of a few to a group, and this applies to only a a group. When bad actors from other regions do the same it is often the case of the individual being bad and not the group. So I understand this fully well and I expect it to some degree.
I just want to establish here that no one is doing anyone any favour. People want high to grow so their bags can pump. There are people willing to help it grow so they can avoid groceries and basic things. That right there is balance.
