Not sure where you came to that conclusion from? There are a lot of individuals who do work hard, @steevc and @slobberchops, to name but two (Not keeping on tagging people as it makes it look like they're being picked on.) My definition of hard work is putting the time in, talking to people, encouraging people, delegating, and promoting others' work. "I work hard!" is a bit of a trap statement, TBH. If anyone dares to refute that statement, maybe by saying, "Well, you don't post much?" there's bound to be a massive bust-up. In my opinion, I work hard too. I curate a fair few; I delegate with what little I have to spare. I try and help others, especially on Discord; when it comes to the pitfalls of HiveWatchers, I promote Hive on Social Media, so much so I was very nearly banned from a Mastodon instance a couple of weeks ago for telling someone they could earn from their photos. (Can you believe some people dislike Crypto? 🙊) so what I'm trying to get folks to understand is I actually do put the time in. I do comment, I do vote, and I do everything everyone seems to think is the answer apart from buying Hive (although that is a slight lie, I have bought very small amounts on about three occasions.), and yet I'm really no further forward that I was in 2018 and don't even get me started on my Rep. 🤣
Oh, and it's not just me saying these things. There are a good few others. Even in the comments, there's one or two with the same thought(s) in the back of their minds. 🤷♂️
Yep, I work seven days a week, 8.5 hours a day, Monday through to Friday; then there's a house and family and a very demanding dog. I'm fairly active in the FOSS community (That's outside of Hive) and active on Social Media hence my statement of "My time is valuable" I'd argue that time has a far higher value than any reward Hive has to offer, which is why it makes me a little annoyed that a few peoples first line of defence is: "Ah, this is about money." NO, IT IS NOT. #LeSigh
Rewards do play a part in it, but only because it has to given rewards are part of the Hive ecosystem.
Ah, so you bought your way to the top? 😉🤣
That's what you said.
Noticing you're taking shots at me. Am I wrong about that?
Yes, you are.
Good. I hope you're able to cool your jets and get back into your groove. Then maybe things will improve.
