I understand your frustration, however you are not being censored or losing anything. With respect, I suggest you take some more time to really understand how this blockchain works before making claims of censorship and things of that nature. Nothing can be censored on the HIVE blockchain. Although it is possible for 3rd party websites to hide posts from their front ends, your posts will always be on chain and no one can change that. Everyone has the right to like or dislike content on HIVE in order to allocate funds from the reward pool as they see fit including yourself. You should not be afraid to downvote something if you think those funds should go back to the reward pool. This is your right as a stakeholder in the HIVE network. The strength of your vote is based on the stake you hold in the network. The value of your posts are likely to fluctuate as more accounts engage with your posts.
My advice is to focus on creating quality content, staying consistent and don't think so much about rewards.
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.
