I like to say that because I hear it a lot.
I heard a funny story about a kid that thought "like and subscribe" was another way of saying "bye-bye"

Hey, it looks like you're trying to milk reward programs and auto-vote systems in a potentially exploitative and abusive manner. For one thing, these short-form posts would better fit the ethos of PeakD Snaps or InLEO Threads. For another, may I encourage you to actually participate in the HIVE ecosystem by commenting on other posts, curating, and otherwise engaging with the wider community here?
I'm a kid, and my dad is Improv, and he helps me post. I don't know what snaps and threads are.
Which frontend website are you using? If you are on peakd.com, the snaps option is at the top if the screen right next to your feeds menu.
Hi Jacob,
What's going on?
You want loch to use snaps? Why? For us, these are little tidbits that I anticipate I can go back to someday and see these snapshots of his childhood (and do even now already - nostalgia is quick when you have a kid, lol!), and how his mind worked. I see the "snaps" tab, but I don't see any explanation of it. Scrolling through it, I don't see any reason to use it, and it seems less intuitive than just using peakd like normal.
Hope you're well.

Fair enough. This account popped up as suspicious due to the myriad SBI votes for a flurry of short posts and no other engagement or activity to speak of. For your purpose, maybe snaps aren't ideal, but PeakD does have a direct link to your snaps record in your profile page.
I appreciate actual responses. I'll undo my downvotes. Scammers are usually more hostile and belligerent.
Oh, and do you know anything about this Hivewatchers thing? It popped up a message on my most recent Punday Monday asking me to verify my identity to prove authorship. I don't particularly want to, and I don't see why there would be any question of my authorship, since I've been running Punday Monday consistently for years. (Is it the longest running contest on the blockchain? It might be. I have done zero research into that, but do you know of any longer?)
I know a bit. They're an active anti-spam and anti-abuse group. Usually open to discussion. Occasionally a bit over-zealous. They have a Discord channel. It wouldn't hurt to make yourself known.
Thanks, Jacob.
Hello.
To confirm your authorship of the content, could your parent please add the link to the Hive blog to his/her well-established social media account like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (which has not been recently created)?
They can remove this mention, once we confirm the authorship.
Thank you.

I'm posting under the supervision of my dad so I don't have any social media.
Your dad can verify for you with his social media.
@improv At the moment, the account is suspected of being your account sock puppet account used to farm rewards since it has no interaction with the community and posts minimum-effort content. Also, the child is about 7 years old now and this account started posting when she was 12 months old. Certainly, the child has never written any post and it is highly doubtful that is even aware of Hive.
For microblogging on Hive we recommend using dBuzz instead.
Hi, yes, I posted for my kiddo to keep a log of his life. Not sure why that would be frowned upon. I also posted content he made. He's now making more content himself. But it is the content a 7-year-old can generate. Is the issue that @loch posted 4 times in 2 days?
Why is there an issue with microblogging on Peakd? Peakd is an easy-to-use platform. I, personally, tried experimenting with dBuzz years ago, and found it cumbersome and confusing. Maybe it's improved, but I like using Peakd, and I don't particularly want to learn a new platform. @jacobtothe suggested "Snaps", but again that isn't something I particularly want us to learn. I scrolled through some of the stuff on there and found it very unapproachable, no offense to people who like that stuff, but it's not for me. I prefer short written content and it was all hashtags and photographs and links, and not many original thoughts. (Again, no shade to people who like posting pictures of food, it's just not interesting to me. What's interesting to me is the inner workings of my 7-year-old's brain, lol.)
As I explained below to @jacobtothe, this is an account to keep memories, and keep them on a blockchain that will hopefully be here forever so that 20 years from now, when I want to look back on these memories, they'll still be here. That's what's valuable to me.
Do you have particular rules you want me to follow with these tidbits? It didn't occur to me until last night as I was lying awake wondering why you were targeting us, but, when I or he has more thoughts to share here than one in a day, we could edit the first post of the day to add those thoughts. Would that be an amenable solution to your concern? Do you know, does the blockchain keep a record of the time stamp of the edits? Then I would be able to still see, "oh, this is a thought he had in the morning. Oh, this happened just an hour later, oh this happened in the evening".
The account started posting when the kid was 15 months old.
I doubt that the kids have been posting anything including now.
It is clear that you have used this account to get additional rewards.
By the way, I would not recommend publishing photos of your little child on social media, including for monetisation purposes. I would recommend keeping such photos in private family albums for the sake of the child.
You can doubt it all you want. My kid impresses his classmates with his reading and writing abilities. And yes, I am familiar with the various concerns people have regarding kids' faces on social media. It's a complex enough issue that I don't have a hard and fast rule about it and we're still discussing it with each other and him.
And yes, I already confirmed that I was posting for him when he was little. And yes, I still help him post. Not sure why that's a problem.
If your primary issue is that his posts are too short, could the solution that I proposed work for you? That until he's old enough that his posts are a little more in-depth, we only post once a day at most, and edit the post to add new stuff if he's got more to add later?
Edited to add: and how do you feel about if we posted pictures of his artwork using this account?
