Wait harvesting money is not okay, just big grabs. Do I really check what kind of group is acting there?

I left my last girlfriend because she wouldn’t stop counting.
I wonder what she’s up to now.

@jeffjagoe, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @master-lamps

(2/4)
Rumor has it The LOLZ Project runs on !PIZZA

Some people want to be the only ones who earn... Sadly, I think the biggest disadvantage of HIVE are the people who gatekeep others by not letting them post whenever they want.

Instead of having a bigger slice of the #pie, why not make the pie bigger?

@jeffjagoe! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ahmadmangazap. (2/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

Unfortunately a lot of the early, large stakeholders are long-form bloggers that think the HIVE blockchain is only meant for “high quality”blog posts. They have a very poor understanding of what is needed to usher in mass adoption and the scaling of HIVE to its full potential. All content and app implementations should be embraced at this early stage. We need more users and use-cases…. Not less.

I see both parts of the arguments, but they seem to fail to understand these points:

  1. Microblogging can also be a High Quality content.
  2. Bad or Plagiarized content might succeed in short term, but as more people join their share of the reward pool will get organically lower.

It can, nothing wrong with short posts/dbuzz/threads, but people often use it to turn into farmers (especially with those that generate posts rather than comments), they'll often either abuse the autovotes they've earned over the years or self-vote excessively, over time it's not hard to notice if they're producing and sharing content cause they like it or if they're trying to gain higher apr (both curation and post rewards by using most of their own votes on themselves, etc)

Let's say for instance I have about $30-40 worth of autovotes and $10 self-vote. If I start posting 10x per day on dbuzz, remove the post limit and start self-voting them all, what does that say about my intentions?

I'm now distributing all my daily votes to myself which makes distribution of Hive weaker.
I'm now getting a lot more rewards than others even though my effort is 5-10% of theirs.

There can be great buzz's as well, short content someone put a lot of thought into and fine-tuned it, something that touches on what a lot of people are thinking about, etc, etc, I wouldn't mind seeing such posts rewarded but they often reflect in terms of unique voters and engagement it generates and then you can also see that the author isn't someone who just attempts to maximize his earnings, etc.

This is mainly what the community doesn't want to see, if on top of it all the founders of /dbuzz is a platform that publicly is against Hive and goes out of their way not to curate the buzz "tweets" properly with big stake, etc cause they don't have time for it/don't care as long as they get that 10% beneficiary rewards on top, then they're being counterproductive to curation and how everyone else is using it.

Quality is subjective and Hive is known to give curation out to many and not be too picky about things as long as they try, that's the important part, trying and putting in effort. Doesn't have to just be in the content of the post but it's easy to distinguish certain people if they're actively using a platform and bringing value to it or if they're just looking to maximize their earnings as easy as possible. Sweat equity is a big part of curation and it indirectly also gives more value to the token, the harder it is to earn the more you value it.

Not all of what I said above is directed towards OP's issues. There just are a lot of factors and people see things from many different perspectives.

Just in general getting a bit tired of seeing people receive a few downvotes and instantly throw a hissy fit about how "hive doesn't work, how this other platform is better" etc and actively ignore advice on how they could avoid getting some of those downvotes.

Yeah, I see both sides of the argument and I think both extremes are bad. I think microblogging is overall a positive thing, and while I dislike downvotes, I can't say they shouldn't be a feature on HIVE because they can be very useful.

Everyone dislikes downvotes, I even dislike having to cast them most of the time. There's a right way to react to them and unfortunately most people react the opposite.

Not saying all downvotes are warranted/good, but you gotta try keep a cool head and ask yourself or others why they're happening rather than pointing fingers and calling it quits.

One thing I noticed about people who get downvoted is that they don't even know why and don't know how to contact the downvoters to discuss with them, but I understand that we let our emotions control us because y'know money is involved!

I wonder about the self-vote thing because it must've taken a lot of effort to gain the required HP in the first place, so its sad to see that punished.

As for Autovotes, it's quite risky to keep making low-quality content because they can just remove you from their lists. Right?

Posted via D.Buzz

They can but autovoters are quite afk and can let it go for a long time, some may also just autovote for other reasons but if the content/effort doesn't match the consistent rewards there's nothing wrong in stepping in.

self-votes aren't bad in and of themselves, why wouldn't you upvote yourself now and then, the issue is when it becomes excessive, same goes for those who vote-trade who are effectively self-voting close to 100%.

No one would mind it if you self-voted with moderation I'm sure.

This tweet was really NOT a “hissy fit”… more just a personal observation/thought on the protocol differences. Though I can imagine why it’s tiring to hear… MANY people have been pushed away over the years.

  • your advice was: “stop using DTube” [to appease the large stakeholders and avoid downvotes]. While I understand that would be a good way to avoid downvotes, I just don’t feel like changing the way I utilize the chain to appease a few large stake holders that dislike @dtube or @heimindanger

I gave you my advice even before the downvotes began so it wasn't just because of that, if you want to continue using it you're free to do so.

Well can't say I didn't try to help

I don't believe in such things.
Why would a person who earns so much money share his secret with someone else? 🤷
