With all due respect, no. If countless people all chip in money and the post goes to 150 dollars and some asshole who happens to have a huge amount of money comes along and just downvotes it to zero, that's a problem whether you want to admit that it is or not.
This is a fundamental flaw in the Hive community. People close their eyes to the whales because most people want to get upvoted by them.
When I was on YouTube, I was censored by ultra rich assholes who had way too much power.
Now, here, my posts are dramatically demonetized by ultra rich assholes who have way too much power.
If a big corporation wants to buy a ton of Hive, put it into Hive Power and downvote every anti establishment post, rekking all creators who post on here, that will forever destroy Hive. People seem super short sited about this.
This one rich person has more pull than a couple hundred other people who disagree with him. The difference is that those people who support me don't have as much money as him.
Today, I once again watched my work which includes exclusive interviews with big names go from 50, 60, 80 dollars down to 3 or 4 dollars. Why? Some rich asshole doesn't like the politics. Great. Glad they have so much control over everything here and the community stands behind it.
Yes. It is censorship. Encouraging it will be the downfall of this site.
That's not what's happening here.
Copy pasting comments (like you did above) is bad form on Hive.
Take the time to actually engage with what people with much more experience on Hive tell you.
You are both saying the same thing. I'm not going to write it two different ways in my response.
