Hive is not a democracy, it's a plutocracy.
By design.
Where 'they' failed was in centralizing tooooo much power with the ninjamine era stake.
Out right telling people that they would reap the pool as hard as they can as long as they can, probably didn't help, either.
Now nobody wants to buy into a rigged game.
The only way out of this is for folks to power up what the restivus give you.
Too few understand that around here.
Until then, it's follow the rules, or get listed.
As you can testify.
Yeah, but who will power up if they're denied rewards? Not even to mention who will buy Hive on the market to come here for this?
I've been pretty much burning Splinterlands profits to promote post but I don't even see the point in that now.
So I guess I don't understand the purpose of this place under these conditions.
The purpose of this place has been served, it was an experiment.

This guy was dead a few weeks later.
Some say he od'd.
I glossed over that but I'm going to need to give it a better look to understand what you're pointing to. Thanks for the direction. 🙂
