Because the team members are set as beneficiaries of those, so we get a bit of a reward for all the hours we put in each week.
That's not what posting rewards are for.
I put in hours every week for 5+ years now, voting with my own stake.
Do I deserve posting rewards for curating?
lovesniper and ocd in general is a way for you and acidyo to make $$, nothing more.
Oh sorry - I didn't realize you made the rules about posting rewards. My bad.
And well done you, doing curation work with your own stake. If I understand this correctly, every time you upvote someone with your own stake, you make 50% if that back, right? So very altruistic of you.
The LS project isn't about upvotes - we're focused on guiding new people to resources to help them navigate the blockchain, as well as verifying (to the best of our ability) that they aren't scammers/spammers/bad actors. I put in hours every week vetting, having conversations on other social media platforms, and walking newcomers through the not-particularly-user-friendly ecosystem.
If I wanted to just make money, I'd follow your lead and do the 1 photo/2 sentences thing for auto votes. But I appreciate the answer - I definitely understand where you're coming from now.
But you do make the rules about posting rewards and that pisses me off.
Who decided that 1 photo/ 2 sentences doesn't deserve rewards?
I am sick of 3 picture / xxx words type of content like you try newbies to force towards.
At least you have powered up some yourself.
Normally the hard working curators farm their guaranteed votes for boring school essay type posts and then cash out.
Not much else to say, though.
Have fun giving out special points for effort, Mrs York.
Mrs York? Wow, that's adorable. Generous and gentlemanly - your mom must be so proud.
But now I'm confused - you make the rules, but you don't make the rules and I do? And not sure what you're talking about, because I actually curate single photo posts, flash/micro fiction stories, even a haiku or two. But I guess it's easier for you to just assume I'm forcing newbies to bend to my will (geez, I feel all powerful now...lmfao).
And since you're so interested in my wallet - back in 2017 I cashed out 10 SBD, just to see if this "magic internet money" could be turned into fiat. Since that time, I've reinvested it about 7 times over (would've been more if I could've afforded it), and haven't ever powered down or cashed any other liquid out.
Not because I'm wealthy - in fact, we're currently behind on our rent & our youngest is buying groceries for the household since my husband has been out of work since February. Things are in the process of getting better though, and while I do plan to cash some out eventually, for the moment I'm just stacking & hodling. Figured I'd mention it so you understand where I'm coming from - Hive is a long term investment to me (well, so much more than that, but to make it simple for this discussion) and I am doing everything I can to make sure that this blockchain achieves the great things I believe it's capable of.
Oh, and I also run a monthly initiative to encourage smaller accounts to power up (where the "special points" are delegations). Again, I'm here for the long haul, which is why I was curious where you (as a Hive Witness) were coming from. I definitely have a clear picture now, so thanks again for that.
I didn't ask for your life story...
You came here, because I downvoted one of your hardworking ocd friends and tried to somehow get at me. You couldn't find anything, but some low effort posts and the comment about lovesniper and that I operate a witness node. Got anything else? Ok bye.
Who did you downvote? I actually came here because I saw a brief discussion about this post in a Discord channel & wanted to see what the fuss was about. This post & the comment section is all I know about you, and given I'm heavily involved in the Love Sniper project, I thought I'd ask for clarification when I saw you mentioned it.
This brief interaction has certainly been enlightening. Not sure how asking you questions is trying to "get at you" but no worries - I have nothing else to say to you, other than best of luck in your future endeavors.
You are trying to be the teacher and don't understand how questions can cause implications?
What do you mean, I was "trying to be the teacher?" I was actually trying to understand someone I hadn't interacted with yet. But...
Just for the record:
If everybody did what you try here, posting rewards would be distributed by a centralized authority, completely killing the idea of this project.
