I made a comment on Taraz's post about old accounts getting used to daily rewards and resenting putting in effort just to claim their daily money drop. This was a generic comment on old accounts and I stand by it.
I have not downvoted Joy's account or even commented to her directly on the effort of her posts.
Over the years I have been here I have seen it time and time again. Recycling content, reducing wordage and effort just to maintain the daily drip of money from autovotes.
It's a wider issue. I do think that Joy's reaction was ill thought out. Perhaps emotional but given the age range of your average hiver (We're all old 😀) is it too much to ask for a more measured response? Insulting people for holding bags of the token for the platform they use daily and are invested in it's not really on, is it? Simply because they questioned the effort made?
I think that old accounts just keeping the minimal activity to get the autovotes is not much of support of the community.
Like shareholders, if they are capital-shareholders theyr brought money in BUT usually in a risky moment and then they can expect dividends only.
While for working shareholders, like we are here on Hive, major shareholders are holding a good part of responsibility towards the whole ecosystem to support its growth and not simply support their own pockets.
This is one of the reason why I like @galenkp and @tarazkp activity as since they are both in top20 accounts on Hive, holding bags and bags of Hive, they keep supporting new posters, newcomers issuing contests and creating communities. @acidyo is doing quite the same and he has done a lot of work with POSH/GOSH and the new token coming.
I have surely forgotten other whales much active here on the space, but these three guys are the ones I am interacting the most as they are much active and they bring lot of value to the whole ecosystem.
I myself, even from a very small account, am trying to build a small curation trail to support contents that have almost no attention so far because I think that all of us can do something great to Hive, and the more we stay active, the more all we can earn on the long run thanks to potential Hive big appreciation
🤦♂️
Yeah.
