Maybe it's about what you do with the influence then and not try and figure out how to abuse it at the cost of the other stakeholders or to try and sell it off to someone else at a higher price.
Not sure where this discussion is going but we've had a good 2 years of misuse under our belt and a majority of stakeholders, even former bid bots agreed to stop such activity, so I don't see why a few smaller newer projects think they should be allowed to, or new future investors and/or earners.
I would argue downvoting uses influence at the cost of the other stakeholders being downvoted…
That’s why they leave, because it has been communicated they are not worthy Stakeholders.
I’m not trying to take the conversation anywhere, I think downvoting is necessary and was just sharing my opinion.
I rarely blog and don’t power down my Hive. I don’t have an agenda.
I wish everyone success in their endeavors and I hope everyone finds what they are looking for.
The communication is to stop doing what they're doing, even after plenty of literal communication.
It's not like people are talking pseudoscience to them, it's easy to see and determine that what they do is against cueation. The rules of the chain are easy, ~50% for you as the curator, ~50% for others as authors. Not 90% for you because you delegate to a project that gives you your 10 daily votes back to you after taking a fee no matter what you post or if anyone reads it and no matter if no one else gets any inflation, etc through different schemes but in the end the same outcome.
For sure man. I think that is a good example for rules of the chain.
I do think there are more rules than that though and I do think there is a lot of subjectivity for who gets downvoted and why, and even that is always changing.
At the end of the day, the more we can get along and work towards the common goal of making hive a better place, the more Hive will be successful!
Cheers man!
If I downvoted people based on who I didn't like I wouldn't have enough downvote mana even if I powered up all liquid hive.
That’s good to hear but I wasn’t accusing you of anything like that.
I don’t think we can fix the past but the more we strive to make Hive more cohesive the more we can work together to achieve big things.
People that don’t get along, can still work together towards a common goal.
The trick is figuring out what that common goal(s) is/are.
It’s not an easy thing to solve but I believe there are a lot of smart people on Hive so it is possible.
