All people EVER did with #showcasesunday - was re-hash their old shit. I was NOT alone in that, but I was the ONLY person who EVER got dragged over the coals for it - coincidence?! I think not, lol! Perhaps not the best "creation decision" on your part - but also - and in your defense... who was to know what "rules" would be created for this space along the way, lol. I certainly didnt and despite ALL I gave to this community, I was punished SO severely for that. Ridiculous really, when you look at how much content value I ADDED here.
You left a REALLY bitter taste in my mouth, along with others - but I will say this.... you are the ONLY person who has stepped forward to have an actual fucking conversation!!!! I tried to do that - with the rest. Not only now, plenty times before...
I never signed ANY disclaimer or contract when joining this space which said I could not share my OWN ORIGINAL content more than once. I never agreed to that. This "well its community decision" - is SUCH BS! The so called leaders in this space are living in "la la land" if they think any true mainstream media/writer/individual will EVER join here if they are not free to do what they want with their own content, lol.
and just to reiterate that point... I generally shared older content only once or twice a year - mostly because the audience has changed, but.... this particular instance... my MOTHER WAS BUSY DYING!!!!! I posted older content more frequently because I just couldnt muster the strength. The people in this space are cold. Cold and heartless. Despite being my sole income, I gave Hive away to people for years, I ran competitions, I promoted people here and on twitter, I fought for the platform with the steem take over... I was in BOTH FEET - heart and soul... and all I ever got in return was ridicule.
However, that aside...
I appreciate and VALUE what you have said here (my) tonight.
Thank you.
Yes. And like I told you, I gave up on it, because people simply abused it. When I introduced that thing, the first line was something like "turn around if you're lazy, this isn't for you if that's the case." That's on the blockchain.
What I noticed at the time was, as an example, people posting one image, every fucking day, never gaining traction, then complaining about the platform rather than their approach. So the idea was to put all that simple effort into one post highlighting or showcasing their talent because who the fuck wants to sift through a blog consisting of random pictures and no context. Or taking an old post and rewriting it because the old post sucked and they now have more experience so can do better, therefore showcasing their talent. Using old material is fine when it's reworked into something new. One thing I did was cram several episodes of some series I created into one post. 20000 words in one post but now at least the series was together as one unit. Never expecting money was also part of the deal and it was on sunday since back then most curators would be charging their votes rather than voting. It was for creators to showcase their talents. Not run re-runs.
Yup. People got lazy. You straight up copy/pasted then tried to say it was okay because I said so? Lame. But I was over it within minutes and never held a grudge.
So okay, yes, you're experiencing some issues. You're making them worse though be being such a dick about it. Own your mistakes, move on.
Unfortunately, I can't speak for the others putting the pressure on you. If they want to spend the time talking to someone (most avoid those acting like they're having a meltdown, which you appear to be doing even if that is not your intention), they will spend the time. Otherwise, it's not worth the energy dealing with someone who'd rather throw around insults and baseless accusations.
I suppose we shall have to agree to disagree on this. My content... my rules. Show me WHERE it is written that I am not permitted to re-share my content. Or where I agreed to that RULE.
Nevermind the MULTITUDE of other problems hive had and still HAS which requires the likes of wenches like @traciyork and others to manage... but it was decided that an ACTUAL content creator, a community leader, someone who actively fought for the growth of this space should be the one who goes down in flames, lol!
You ALL need to catch a damn wake up. You have lost EVERY major crypto individual who EVER "attempted" to ENTER and give this space a chance. That speaks volumes!!!
I dont share your stance on this at all - nor your repeated "description" for me venting validated frustration as "an emotional meltdown" lol.
Hive is REDUNDANT! Even Splinterlands is in shit, which is probably the only thing floating this self-sinking boat.
Choosing to leave it here, because regardless of this conversation, I am DONE with hive and all its ridiculous "hierarchy" BS.
You just reminded me why I stopped responding. Thank you.
Bye.
