I came to this platform without any reference, I'm not friend of any whale, nor do I belong to a self voting circle; yet, I´m close to reaching 10k Hive, and I've seen over and over again good content from new users and old users getting rewarded.
You are suppose to get rewarded for contributing to the platform
You are not entitled to anything when posting; you are supposed to SHARE content, whatever comes in your way after that is a bonus. Again and again I see that same mentality on and off chain: it's not what I have, it's what this and that have and I don't have equal because X.
Just my two cents.
What I meant is to actually put in the time reading and interacting with post. I may have reworded it wrong but that's the extent of it. If people like a comment or a post THAT'S how you get rewarded not just automatic circle jerking, sock puppets upvoting accounts, self upvoting accounts, and no where was there ever a mention of contributing off block in conversations about who knows what.
I expected your reply because it's the go to reply of just about anyone when you make mention of how it's run rather than how you were told it was run. Seriously you people should just drop that line because no one would ever leave the chain if it ACTUALLY ran as described.
Again, we clearly have very different experiences on the blockchain.
