It's a pity that she drifted away form the community as she become more of a wider personality.
If it isn't "worth it" financially I guess. I don't really understand it though, as if people want mass adoption into an actual industry, that doesn't happen on the exchanges.
I never followed the cryptofinally drama, but if I remember, she was just dumping posts here for autos.
As writing I just checked: 296 posts, 204 comments. Not really a community player and I don't think she was mentioning on her other channels at all, since she put no effort in here. I could remember wrong though.
Over the years, there have been plenty of people getting space in various articles - not many mention how they actually got started or where they earned - they all say "I bought" - a bit lame, but that is human nature I guess :)
It might happen later though, where people are a bit prouder of being here, rather than it being a dirty secret.
I think the tl;dr was that bernie was downvoting her for one or another reason, as he usually would some people, things escalated to where he started calling her names, some other random accounts, most likely socks took it even further and cryptofinally used the worst examples to build her battle against hive. When she was told that she could mute accounts from the front-ends, that she wouldn't have to read them nor would people checking her blogs see them unless they went all the way down and unmuted the comments she started instead saying things like the governance needs to get involved to block bernie or something stupid. As people were trying to then tell her that if she was bringing value to Hive and kept promoting it many other whales would stand up and counter the downvotes if they felt like she was worth it, apparently the clout of being against the whole chain was worth it more for her than actually ignoring the small issue of 1-2 users downvoting and being vulgar.
Saw an interview she did about Hive on @crypt0's youtube a while back if you want some to roll your eyes over the whole thing even more:
Thanks for the background.
I kind of feel like downvotes can be a good test of someone's understanding of decentralization, where once they call for governance to get involved, they indicate they are more concerned about their personal experience than that of the entire network that enables it. This is why second-layer apps are so important, because they can give the experience, whilst the chain can be "free".
THis is the approach of a social media influencer for sure :)

blocktrades has a good rundown in this comment section
She really just ignored 80% of what BT was saying! :D
The crypto influencer is strong in her.
Sweet. This is worth a read then :)
CF wasn't a great community member and personally i have no time for her content but that is besides the point for me. She was new to the community and using the sites. She did reply when i commented.
The main point for me was that she was a well known figure in the wider crypto community that joined the eco-system. instead of welcoming her in and trying to get her involved with hive more fully, she got abuse and threats from one of the largest stakeholders who drove her off the platform.
Now i know that she then went on a pure hissy fit and lost the plot but this could all have been avoided in the first place. Bad publicity is bad publicity. She did have hive links on her other content and did a weekly show with lea where the topic was discussed. It's only one user but a wider example of how some people try to control the content thats acceptable on hive.
I hope that when we make it ourselves and get famous enough to get noticed that we wont be shy to say where it all began. I know that i'm proud to be part of hive and tell my friends all about it. In a few years when there are a lot more millionaires here i can see a time where people are coming in specifically to read the content and see how it was done and how to follow in th esame footsteps.
What do you mean? She was welcomed by the community. She did rather well before the bernie thing that lead to her going full aggro on Hive even though people gave her advice on how to mute/ignore the trolls and keep at it. Not really our fault she decided to think she knows things better and that we need a way on the blockchain level to block people from using their stake how they want.
This was Bernie I think. Part and parcel of decentralized environments and why second-layer interfaces are so valuable. If she had gone through Leo (at least now) she wouldn't have even noticed and if they chose, they could mute Bernie completely.
Yes. Second layer changes this.
I plan on being here long term, so I want the place to be the best it can be, because I have a "real life" too that I want to increasingly make Hive a part of. :)
