I don't like to see people fighting and it seems that a project who was criticised are changing their ways. Talking is best. Too many people have been driven away by getting caught up in conflicts.
Hive is not necessarily fair, but it offers opportunities. You just cannot take your rewards for granted and some will object if they think you are abusing the system. I get that projects want to get their fans excited, but it ought to be about adding value. Opinions will vary on what that is, but it's to be expected. I see plenty here that I have zero interest in, but I have to focus on what I enjoy and distribute votes where I think they are justified.
Yes, I know I do okay, but it seems that some appreciate what I do and I have invested a lot of time/money.
There is always Blurt. :D
Many "projects" are just schemes to extract as much Hive as possible it seems.
