I agree bro, there has been a clear and obvious (to anyone with eyes to see and critical thinking skills) agenda in the mainstream media for decades. It has only ramped up to insane levels in the past couple years with Covid. The real virus is the mainstream narrative pushed by govt, media, big pharma, and their collaborators.
Yes bro and I wanted to write more articles about this but now I'm being attacked and labelled abusive.
Please remove your vote on this post, as it is rewarding me too much POB, and my goal is to be downvoted to negative POB now that I am considered abusive on the POB platform.
Even though I have powered up 100% of every bit of POB I have gained through curation.
Now I must consider whether or not to continue supporting POB or remove my stake completely.
Not once has the main accounts ever supported me, instead I get downvotes from them and called abusive.
I guess I made a fucking mistake coming back to this place.
I don't think you made a mistake in using Hive again, but maybe it was too trusting to put your faith in certain other side-projects. I myself don't actually know anything about pob, and have been accumulating it for a few months mainly via commenting on a buddy's posts and getting a few tokens as prizes/gifts. I generally don't much like 'catch all' tags. I think specific tags are more powerful when running searches to find content, but I realize it's lucrative to post in large (rich) general tags like ocd and pob. Everybody has to decide what they support and don't support on here... decentralization gives us that power, but you're right, it can be a hassle and a risk as well. I think you're right to consider whether or not to continue supporting pob. But try to keep in mind you can cut them out of your experience without tossing the baby with the bathwater.
Man I could use a good hike out in the fresh late summer sunshine... so much bullshit going on everywhere... I find myself wanting to scream and run through the woods like a wild animal sometimes.
Anyway I hear you and what you say makes sense to me.
A nature walk and break from this fucked up reality sounds great right about now!
I'm over here shocked because I wonder if @onealfa.pob really took a look at what I am doing with POB? Powering up 100% of rewards regardless of voting a few of my own comments, and this is because I barely post, get no support from POB main accounts, and all because I want to continue growing my account and supporting the community with it.. I could see a difference in perspective if I was SELLING MY REWARDS, but I'm not doing some reward raping/dumping... this is fucking bad judgement from him, straight up, not sure if this can be rectified at all!!!!
Pretty sure I hit the new posts section right on the front end every single day, and pretty sure I upvote other community members comments, but he took it upon himself to just start blasting downvotes without maybe a talk or "warning"... like wtf, over maybe 10 POB this dude is downvoting without talking first?????
I'm in shock!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.
Sorry to unload all this in our comments... you just happened to be responding while I'm in a rage.
Well I'm scratching my head, too. It doesn't seem worth it.
I've been harassed for self-voting comments, too. I do that sometimes to make a comment more visible, or to put a comment over the 2c payout threshhold when somebody else gives me 1.5c or something. I was told to NOT vote for yourself was weak and lame. Now I'm told it's gaming the system and profiteering. I swear, people are acting like little policemen, micromanaging other peoples' behaviour. I thought we could vote with out stake how we wanted? When it comes to downvotes (which harm a person's rep and finances), and dishing out punishment for what is seen as "wrong" voting, that's a bit creepy.
Just my thinking on it..
Maybe there are better front ends and tags to support.
I would just love to meet people like this face to face.
Yeah little micro managing policemen in a ecosystem that is supposed to represent some kind of freedom?
What a joke.
I have poor luck with tribes.
I even get booted out of the discords and the canna discords don't even want me because I'm a trouble maker evidently for calling out trolls... eh oh fucking well. , and when I'm not a trouble maker I'm not active enough..
Maybe I should just stick to Hive only... and as of right now I'm 50/50 with my trigger finger on the power down button.
I know how you feel.... I've been unable to stomach any power ups for months. I've got almost 1000 just sitting there. Hard to fully commit, that's for sure. I keep getting burned when I do that.
To me it seems like we're always just a click away from being bullied in some direct or indirect way here. I say indirect because there's always more going on beneath the surface with a particular situation, and oftentimes other characters involved.
In this place if a bully has a problem with you and they have more power than you and some friends to back them up, you're in a position where there is literally nothing you can do about it, you can fight back in no way other than words, while your rewards get raped, your reputation diminished, time wasted, mental health impacted, etc.
I'm all about standing ones ground in a situation where you can somehow impact the situation in a positive way, or defend yourself at the very least, but this is nothing more than a virtual emulation of the pyramidal power structure that runs the world, and this exemplifies it grossly and creates a detachment from people with their actions and behaviors and ultimately warps their mind. I guess that's an opinion, but it's one I'm pretty convinced of at this point.
I didn't come here for psycho wars.
