Hi @acidyo
Good to see that you are concerned about Hive and trying hard to minimize the abuse and this is something I appreciate very much. You are a whale on Hive, and I think that you should give another person a chance to explain his side of the story.
Hive is not just for one person or community so it’s the best of interest for everyone to work together and bring more value to Hive and its ecosystem.
Project Hope is a community that is focused on quality content and engagement so whoever is able to deliver the same is most welcome to join and share the content. Along with content quality, it’s also focused to bring more engagement which is much needed for the hive.
Now coming back to the point which is the problem as per this post is- beneficiary. Its a complete volunteer and those who are doing it are not forced in any way to do this. Whatever project hope is earning through beneficiary reward goes to get more delegation and to support more people on the chain to bring more quality content and value. They support many people weekly through some hive for their life survival and this is one of the best parts about Hive. Hive is not just a social media instead its a life-changing platform and even during this tough covid time many people are getting their earnings only through Hive.
There are many things which need to get fixed, and this could be one of it and I appreciate that you have paid attention to it but have you ever tried to give the opportunity to the founder to explain first. Its up to you whether you like the answer or not, but he at least deserves a chance to speak.
We are promoting Hive on alternate social media to get more attention and more people that includes users and investors but why we all are not working together to make hive an even better place.
There is no fight between you and PH and PH community would love to work with you if given a chance. I still request you to have a discussion with the community founder as I believe that everything can be sorted out with talks and discussion. Maybe you can suggest an even better way for the betterment of the hive and community.
Let's put our time and energy together to bring value to the platform and it would be so nice if you talk to Piotr and end the differences. We are one and want the hive to succeed so such differences are not at helpful.
Thank you so much.
Have a great day.
His posts literally say we need more rewards to lease more stake and give delegators a higher return. It's literally bribing delegators with higher returns to get more HP. That in and of itself is okay in a free market, but it shouldn't come from author rewards, even though they're not forcing people to give them beneficiaries they are indirectly giving them no choice as looking at trending only posts giving them beneficiaries are getting curated. I'm honestly getting a bit tired repeating the same thing over and over again, it's not that difficult to comprehend what's going on here.
I have nothing against the authors, although often times it feels that it's not really original content being rewarded, and people posting here are free to post in any other community and we won't ignore them based on their history, we'll curate them based on their content and won't attempt to get them to give us more returns in exchange for votes, that just goes against everything Hive stands for at the moment.
I appreciate this and you have already cleared this which is great.
if any author is trying to post in PH and other communities as well then it's fair what you said here. I like your approach to project hive from abusers.
When we all are here for the same goal that is to take hive forward then it would be even great if we find a way to work together. Thanks for replying and appreciate your time.
