Isn’t this account doing everything you claimed you thought was negative a couple months ago? BillionTools buys most votes they get daily, Leo through subscription (as sadly much of hive does) & through delegation from SSG-Community & Eds. They have like 10% of stake free for curation & 90% delegated , a majority used to buy upvotes. This seems far worse issue than KE. It’s turning into Steemit where majority of accounts use stake to delegate to buy daily upvotes and get no or little interaction. Ironically in the Steemit example these staked Steem tokens will crash far more than the rewards added up over years if they just never bothered or sold years ago. I’m not saying Hive is in that boat yet, but seeing many accounts buying 80% plus of daily votes is signaling hive is heading that way. It’s not a small issue and I only use the one account as example because I also notice these same accounts brag about visiting people like you to get big comment upvotes. I know you have only good intention, but to very odd flip seeing you go from DVing to supporting these kind of accounts. You will notice half the accounts or a third at least all get a daily vote from Leo/SSG-Community & lesser extent Ed’s. Which adds up to 85% of total rewards that account gets daily. Seems like a bad signal and one heading towards Steemit behavior. @hurtlocker
Ps I’m not trying to pick on one account. This issue is far and wide a large group here on Hive.
Hurt doesn't support my account. If you actually looked at his and my activity, I interact with him on topics I find interesting. Before meeting him in The Pub after the BRO fallout, he and I didn't interact. If I were truly trying to court his vote, I'd be commenting constantly. I reply and interact when I have something to say or add to the conversation. I'm not even in his TradFi community because I don't delve into trading enough to have something worthwhile to contribute.
Not trying to single anyone out, yet you chose a lame attempt to mock my username while using it as an example? Lying isn't very becoming. 😉
It's getting spicy! Heatin up!
It’s ok you can pick on me 😆 these are good conversations to have.
I do reward comments on my posts and try not to let things other people do get in the way of me rewarding engagement on my posts.
If we want more real activity and less of the stuff you are referring to, upvoting comments makes sense to me.
All this soft vote buying was around well before I powered up and I need to be pragmatic if I want my time on HIVE to be sustainable. (I dont want to spend all my time downvoting).
I mostly focus on KE but not independently because stuff like engagement matters.
This response I had to you isn’t as good as I would have liked because I’m pretty tired and need to get some rest. I just didn’t want to miss responding to this one.
IMO this is a complicated topic you are referencing so if I can think of anything else to add I’ll leave you another comment tomorrow. 🙂
Is there a problem with HBD? I received some rewards in Hive Liquid.
I wonder as well. We approach the haircut, HBD price isn't being maintained on the open market (such as it is).
Yea it's the haircut rule. The part that applies to post payouts.
Sorry I do not understand what you are referring to. I reread my comment and I am not sure where HBD is coming up here.
