No problem. The majority of users on hive have great time for you and your content. While not everybody will like or agree with it, unfortunately that's life.
You do however have my vote and lots of others users too as I enjoy seeing you engage here and on twitter. It might not be the largest but I do support your content and the recognition that you bring to hive and crypto in general.
Please don't let a couple of users turn you against the system here as over time these votes will spread out more by number than by stake. There are a few of the biggest accounts that have a lot of say but that keeps changing every month as more people join and power up to spread the love around.
It's still good to have a site where you can't be deleted and where you earn with every post. I only get a few dollars a week but that will never stop me from posting to hive and being part of something bigger.
It's not really about the rewards money but the climate of the social space, what I love about Hive is how inclusive it is, having large stakeholders take me down and call me and my content worthless is a lot to take on right now just to use an alternative platforms. I will continue to try, but I really hope that this culture of hate subsides, I'm very sad to see this.
If it wasn't about the reward money, then what other issues are those downvotes really causing? What does someone saying your content is worthless even do? If you are allowing yourself to be weak enough, emotionally, to have the words of other people affect you so deeply, then maybe social media as a whole just isn't your thing. Ever think about that? Smh.
If you were truly concerned with the climate of the space, you would try to post things that pertain more to what the community is buzzing about, but instead you post self-absorbed, self-centered, ego-centric shit. As was stated, you post ref links on your shit, which clearly signifies that monetary gain is actually quite high on your list. Otherwise, it's absolutely spammy and ad-like to have a bunch of links to other shit that you no doubt gain from, all over your page constantly. It makes you look like a walking billboard. Is that your goal? Is that the image you'd like to present and be in this crypto space?
You talk about a "culture of hate" but what do you think the world we live in as a whole is? The problem with the entire world is that hate is spread rampantly and vigilantly. I've seen insanely worse shit on twitter and instagram and the likes, than I've seen here and I've seen some of it continue to be present years on end without removal. I'm sure there's just as bad of shit here, but it likely gets handled more vigilantly when the global community is the moderation, as opposed to some selective, biased, save-face-for-business-cuz-we're-out-to-make-cash-above-all-else, company. If any place has the best chance at cancelling out hate, it's decentralized crypto spaces. Definitely not twitter or instagram or other social media, where you're allowed to post hateful shit, as long as it's hateful towards the right groups. It's pathetic.
What's sad is to see generations continue to get fucking weaker and weaker, to where people's words actually affect their moods and their entire day/week/month/life. The fact that vibrations of air formed into imaginary structures to explain something through sound, can make people's tiny fucking brains shut down, all because they took it to heart and allowed some random fuck's words to hurt them, is entirely sad. Key word, allowed. The problem isn't hate or hateful people, there's nothing we can really do about that on any platform, not fully. The problem is the weakness in people like you, who allow other people's words to grip you so intensely, that you have a whole breakdown over them. It's fucking pathetic. That's the fucking problem, society getting weaker and fucking weaker. That's what happens when we cater to the least common denominator tho, so it's only going to get worse unless we start saying "fuck weak people" and let them die off or kill themselves because they're so fucking weak that words make them act and feel certain ways. If the world worked like that, we wouldn't have so much bullshit, weakness, drama, or the likes. We'd need to spend less as a society, to take care of ourselves, because we don't have to spend a bunch of extra time, money, and effort, dealing with pussies who have "hurt feelings" and feel like the words of strangers should affect them so deeply. It's honestly just pathetic. No sympathy here. If you're being affected this deeply by other people's words, that's on you, toughen the fuck up and stop blaming other people for your fucking weakness. It's getting old seeing this childish "Wahh! I'm a victim! Have sympathy for me!! Wahhh!! People don't agree with me! They called me names! I need a safe space, because words hurt!! Durr!" behavior out of so many people. Smfh.
Hope it doesn't come off as "hateful" here. Just trying to be honest in the most real way. Society has been spiraling for a long time and if I can try to strengthen some of it, fuck it ima try. Weak people need to first be addressed that they are weak and understand that it's ok that they are, but if they don't toughen up, the world is only going to continue to shit on them and that it is only their fault if that is the path they so choose. This world doesn't play nicely and never will. If you believe in any God or any balance or karma in nature, then you cannot deny the fact that with good will always come bad and sometimes, even, great evil. If we let that shit pound us into the ground tho, we're forever fucked. Before saying "fuck the weak" I'm the type who wants to try to show them a stronger path. I'm no teacher tho, so fuck it, I probably do more bad than good at times. My words are harsh, they are raw, they do not fit the idea that feelings and thoughts and ideas should be hindered by "white lies" and consolation of negative and diseased emotions. Weakness can be purged thru sheer willpower. Just as addiction is a mental disease, not one of substance, so is weakness. All one has to do to break addiction is use sheer force of will to deny their urges to commit those actions. Same goes for weakness. You can train yourself to be stronger. It is a choice.
Jesus, I'm pretty drunk. I'm typing way too fucking much today. Back to the Bourbon.
Also, no fucking shame, but I was partially fishing for more votes. Times are rough and I'm no rich man, unfortunately. It is what it is, I'm not a prideful fuck. :)
P.S. -
This may seem "hateful" to you, but it's just brutal honesty.
Most people around you in your life aren't going to talk shit straight with you, because they either:
A) Want to fuck you since you're pretty cute.
B) Don't want to cross you because you're a potential networking connection. (Even if the quality of knowing you in the crypto space is debatable across parties.)
C) You're female and for some reason people think that equality doesn't also need to apply to how you talk to and treat people.
D) They will just ignore you instead of confront you. People sometimes tend to just look the other way when they see things they don't agree with or support, sadly. That is why the world has so much injustice. They should confront you when you're in a public social media space and tell you they think your shit sucks, if that's what they think. That's their right. You shouldn't let that shit get to you tho, cuz then it's on you. There's not going to be much shift in that tho, because people who don't like you and want to make sure you know it, will find a way to express that no matter the platform. You can run if you'd like, but you're more likely to do well here than anywhere else, even with haters. At least here, you have a community to reach out to instead of one shittily-maintained-and-run website/app's "support team" which is generally an email account that you get automated responses from and rarely hear back from, due to the amount of reports that come in daily across the network.
I'm sure I could think of a few more reasons why people won't be straight up with u and say shit to your face, but it is what it is and I'm tired of wasting time typing about this. Stop playing a victim tho, cuz anyone with any respect for themselves, or you, is not going to go for that childish shit. People say hurtful shit to me daily, but who the fuck are they anyway? If you've got haters it means you're doing something right even if you're doing something wrong so take it for what it is that your energy, your existence, had enough reach to make people actually spend time and energy of their own, bashing you. That's why people say "haters are your biggest fans" cuz just think about how much time and fucking energy people put into having to hate shit and then think about how much that means they care. LOL. You don't have to be weak and it's not "in our nature" to just be one way or another. It's a conscious decision moment to moment to either let people's words affect you deeply or to not. If you let them, then you are the one losing and they are the one's winning. You stop being weak and playing the victim, guess what, assholes tend to stop fucking with you. It's your reaction that they're able to illicit that makes them continue on with you. If you give it no mind, no energy, then it goes away. As far as perception of value goes, if you care about your earnings which you clearly do, engage more in a real, human way. Just be fucking genuine. Stop with all the "If you wanna support me do this or that!" bullshit shtick. Search for posts from other people pertaining to topics you enjoy/like or write about your own experiences. Most of what you post is just random babbling about what you're going to do or this or that or a fucking selfie like that means much, like I can't just go on instagram and stare at bitches all day or something... it's just shallow and vain. That's why you're probably getting shit, because your content is what for so long has continued to just earn and earn and earn and it's essentially shitposting for promotional reasons, so that people see a cute face and ref links and fuck around and make you money. It's obvious is the worst part, so how about you connect with the community as you would in the real world. Would you walk the fuck up to me and hand me 20 different business cards with different graphics and ref links on them and talk to me for 10 mins about yourself, only to not even bother to hear my response or put any thought or feedback into the things I say? To me, it just comes off as self-absorbed and for monetary gain and if it's not like that, as you've stated now, then don't just fucking leave cuz that just makes us think we were right about you.... instead, engage more, give your opinions, feedback, express yourself, your views, your beliefs, your interests, and do all that in-depth. Don't just give us a paragraph or a few lines about some basic shit. Let us know what goes on in your mind when you contemplate any number of things.
I think what's lost on most people is that social media is supposed to be a way for us to socialize with one another as if we were face to face and since we are not face to face, we act differently and we put on masks and faces and pretend to be what seems to appeal to the most people when it comes to our image. Break that shit, stop going with the mould. The meta is fucked. lol. Be human again. Ask questions about people's lives, engage them, show them someone gives a fuck to hear the story that is their life... It's a whole different experience that way. :)
Yeah instead of supporting you... they put you down more i already said to others there must be a board against this kind of misusage.. a few years ago there was a channel that you could go to if a whale is putting someone down this could just be one person on several accounts. Just go zennn enjoy your dog time and I hope you air a new video soon. 😉 come on.. ohhh you are from America... You can get headspace for free for a year I believe try it. 😊 keep up the good work.
Isn't it funny that THIS is the MOST you've engaged with people on HIVE since it went live??
THAT says a lot about you and your motives here.
Again, you're a paid shill. Nothing more, nothing less.
That 20+ line signature of bullshit ref links tells us all we need to know about you.
