Well I know for a fact people are blindly voting comments, just like they blindly vote posts.. that’s sort of my point here - I want this to be a place people enjoy and that incentivizes the social aspects (both long and short content).. not be a place people come to make a post just to get an auto vote and blindly vote things as they have to use those 10 votes a day or they lose out! It should be fun, it should be a place people actually see use it.. and no I don’t think it should depend on curation guilds (even though I run one) or lists like Ashers. It should all be built in to the UI.. that’s my opinion.
As far as the rest, I’m just over the complaining and complete ignorance of how anything gets done around here. And the exchange comment was stating the only reason people can buy or sell that HIVE is due to work done that wasn’t this league .. or sponsoring this league.
If all I had to do was sponsor Ashers league, as nothing else needs to be done .. I guess I could have saved myself a lot of work. We could all just be happily on Steem commenting.. man I wonder if the others know we didn’t have to do all that 🤔
As far as the sponsorship.. I’m an asshole but am a man of my word..
@justineh All I can say, that I am not blindly voting comments, and I am sure that you are not either. Others, we can't control what they do (mostly).
Now, let us take care of money matters first:
Here is my 1000 Hive. @abh12345 can do whatever he wants with it, he doesn't have to ask me.
In addition. since you expressed concern regarding how potentially people can get this and sell it in the exchanges, which won't be good for Hive. I thought for this little thing I should take care of that too. Your 500 Hive and my 1000 hive makes, 1500 Hive. So I bought additional 1500 Hive and I am powering it up.
Since I never power down until a project goes belly up or get bought (hint, hint), this 1500 Hive will stay powered up forever. Therefore, content creators here, can do whatever they want with this money without hurting hive.
There: for this at least we have taken money out of the equation I hope :)
All transactions are transparent of course, as I do not do any back room deals. Also I do not have any alternate account.
Thank you for your engagement.
Didnt know we were having a pissing match.. 👍🏼
You’ve missed all my points, even though I explained them.. I don’t have a “concern” people use exchanges.. I was saying stating people need to stop trying to do new things or point out issues (the comment I was responding to) rather just sponsor Ashers league .. is naive and absurd.
Glad we could find the solution to all things though.
No pissing match.
Solution was mutually found and it’s done. Rest is up to Ash.
Onwards...
Let me make this really clear since you aren’t hearing me -
Ashers league is great, I’m a fan.. but it actually solves no issues. It’s a bandaid on a wound gushing blood.
It doesn’t fix anything.
If we don’t stop the bleeding, the issue will continue. Asher can’t solve all the issues of the platform. I mean I like Asher, but his charts can’t do that alone.
Thank you for the sponsorship HIVE, and thank you again for the work behind the scenes which will, and not for the fault of the general populace, never get the appreciation it deserves.
I'm going to use a couple of lame analogies.... raising a child, and managing a submarine.
To me, there is no one solution to nurturing a child, or keeping the people alive on a sub - both require multiple 'bandages' and the connected parties to be doing their bit. There is an on-going, ever changing set of duties, and washing all the dirty clothes, or fixing all the leaks one day isn't going to mean much in the longer term, unless the community of people involved continue doing their bit.
The league has proven to patch a leak and retain some users, it is one of the many small holes patched up, which is the only way you can keep a sub afloat - many patches.
I would love to see this sort of thing built into the UI's, it would definitely scale better longer term.
Thanks again for the sponsorship, I'll continue patching until I'm no longer required.
Thank you very much for this kind sponsorship fund for the Engagement League. With this and Justine's equally kind contribution, there will be a nice prize pool for months :)
