Hi, @galenkp thanks for the open discuss this topic.
Might be I am one of the people you mentioned, sometimes I did shit-post, and sometimes I did post something with all my heart, with all my writing skills and hope my reader gets new insight, of course, both of them are with purpose.
Before I found Hive, I am a blogger. Being born as a newcomer is hard in that blog, so someday I decided not to continue my blog. It's nice I found out about Hive cause I still can blog and share. For me, Hive thought me how to become a blogger differently. Also, Hive is support newcomers. It doesn't always have to be informative, but with a simple sentence like 'I am happy to be here, somewhere, and what the other simply word'. By the time I passed Hive, I turn from users with the money-purpose to users who like to share everything, cause there is no guarantee of being curation, right? After my long hiatus, I decided to keep blogging whatever will happen with my post cause it's hard to be consistent. Hive for me likes personal storage now.
According to me, I don't mean to the objection you, It's fine if someone has money oriented as long as they are honest. Cause we even didn't know they're actually financial. Who knows before knowing Hive, they are jobless, and Hive made them has new hope for life. I believe the whales has their self consider to curation and I trust that they would be fair for users with shit post and low-effort post.
Thank you Galen, you make me write long hehehe...
It takes all sorts of people to make up the world and that's replicated here on Hive. So, it makes sense that the various people on the platform will act as they see fit, for themselves, and in ways that suit their needs.
I totally agree with you..
