You took comments of mine out of context and started the whole bit of confusion. I keep trying to tell you I don't have time for this. Now I'm presented with another endless spiel of shit I don't feel like explaining. I'm just spinning my fucking tires.
YES, I know 1000 votes worth a penny is worth the same dollar value as one vote worth $10. 1000 people is more valuable than 1, especially if you're in the business of getting views.
Yes, consumers go broke because they throw their money away. See how a business model that allows for the consumer to achieve their goal of supporting content without throwing that money away suddenly becomes a better deal now?
Probably not.
I don't have the time to sit here and break down every little thought to the smallest detail, in a comment section, under a post, to someone I don't know, for nothing.
You're being intellectually lazy with some of your responses.
The issue with the AI. If you use AI to create art and call yourself an artist and act like you created it, you're a fraud. If you use AI to write and story and call yourself a storyteller, you're a fraud. The fraudulent behavior is the issue. Not the AI. People use it all the time. I won't because I don't need to. Got my own style.
That's how I feel about it and I only speak for me and because I'm able to form an opinion, that does not make me "The police."
You not enjoying daily content doesn't matter. Gamers stream daily and that's only one example. In general, yes, the daily grind can be a drain, becoming monotonous. Some can hold an audience, some can't. Lots of variety and contributors. Consumer never stops consuming or spending money regardless. They just keep feeding something like Twitch or Youtube money, nonstop.
And someone using AI probably wouldn't get too many, fans. People follow artists, not art. The unique personality is what attracts fans. Plenty of people can write about science, for instance. And AI can help perfect those words, sure. That won't attract fans though until you slap a bowtie on it and call yourself Bill Nye the Science Guy or some shit.
News/information, same thing. Fox has personalities, CNN has personalities. Alex Jones knows the game. Youtubers. People are not fans of news and information so you throw a personality in there and the stories become far more attractive.
And like I said, if you downvote someone and their consumer base as they're getting tens of thousands of views and thousands of comments daily, as a stakeholder, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. Moronic. That's just common sense to me. I have no issues with autovotes and all that. People subscribe to magazines and pay before reading next month's issue.
However, it would make sense to downvote that if the account was compromised and started spitting out nonsense like what happened to Linus Tech Tips. It's good to have flexible systems in place to handle things like that. Someone might also freak out and do something stupid, resulting in their fans downvoting and turning their backs. That's life. Shit happens. Wouldn't be the first time.
Here's an example of an unreasonable response in that AI search setting.
Any yeah I'll give it back, play your little game, and just say, Yeah too many questions.
And leave you hanging.
Curation "rewards." If someone upvotes useless shit and that gets downvoted, the "curator" fucked up, and fuck ups aren't known to be a rewarding experience in life. Fans or actual consumers of actual content they think is actually awesome, do not fuck that up. I downvoted spam as example, remember? And with that by default since it was upvoted means there's some "curation reward" involved. That was lost. So? Takes the same amount of effort to upvote something that wasn't useless spam junk nonsense trash, so maybe get a brain and do that if you want "curation rewards".
And that's my opinion. I don't represent Hive, I represent myself. People are free to use their words and settle disputes if there are any. With so many variables and an endless stream of different scenarios, you will never find "The Answer."
If there was more emphasis placed on actual consumption, by actual consumers, brought on independently by actual content creators seeking actual views, with millions of accounts engaging daily, many of what some consider to be "issues" go away. Actual paying consumers. We don't have that and I'd like to change that but I'm bored with talking about it. I've been trying for years. Downvoting due to lack of consumption is not the answer. These people have simply become products of their environment.
No problems were solved in the making of this conversation.
Have a nice day.
