How unnecessary - this is why I get annoyed with hive sometimes! You will get rewarded for kissing ass or even extreme butt-sucking! But you just agree blindly or make fake comments to get upvotes - ppl like their ego stroked.
But when you ask logical questions or have an unpopular opinion you get punished. Not that you were doing anything wrong, because what's wrong with asking questions? How are we supposed to store healthy debate? what happened to freedom of speech and a blockchain that's not censored?? I'm finding it harder to find real people I can connect with here, hence I stick to gaming content these days.
Good luck! Hope big brother lays off!
