@ecency - nope, still not working 9 out of 10 times
@steevc - I muted you because you partook in that witch hunt where you tried to frame me of plagiarism without proof! If you'd really like to help me & not throw shade - feel free to share you tips; I'm listening :)
All I want is for Hive to do well and for rewards to go to those who deserve them. Nobody is automatically entitled to rewards from the limited daily pool. If all you do is buy votes and have little interest in helping anyone else or promoting Hive then why do you deserve rewards? I see you post to St--mit too, but they don't care over there about people buying votes, so do what you want there.
The 'plagiarism' issue was simply about you proving that the videos were yours as we have plenty of people trying to earn with content they did not create. You kicked up such a fuss over doing that, but it seems fundamental. Even if you don't care about others earning from your content, some of us do. Not a 'witch hunt', just making Hive better. We don't want it to get a bad reputation.
It is up to @ecency how they vote and I am sure plenty of people want to use their services. Maybe there is just more competition for votes now.
I'm not a gamer or interested in such videos, but others may be and they may think your posts have value. If you actively promoted them you could do better. With a larger fanbase you could earn more than you do from ecency. Your choice.
