Let's look at a hypothetical situation: Say we have user A. We'll call him Milky. Milky writes posts about his lunch and hanging out with friends. he earns some upvotes from fellow Hiveans and takes whatever HP/$HBD he earns and sends off to an exchange to turn into fiat.
Milky has been at 500HP for two years.
If Milky were to change his ways after reading a post like this and started powering up, voting on proposals, witnesses and other Hive citizens as well as writing good quality content, would you reconsider and start interacting and maybe even voting for Milky?
If Milky was to change his ways and I saw track record of that over time then yes, I'd reconsider my position. (I check before I vote)
I have a stake and can do with it what I like (as can Milky) so I choose to support those who support the blockchain a little bit rather than those who remove all their earnings without even a thought to a regular power up of a percentage of the rewards they may gather.
Yeah, that's fair.
I don't write "My Hive Goals" posts as often as I'd like. I do one about every two months now. I always try to include my voting criteria though.
I only manually curate authors that create content that is
I think I might add something along the lines of "I give preference to users who build their stake to help themselves and others in the ecosystem by having a healthy earn:hold ratio".
I don't mind a "Hive goals" post once or twice a year but I rarely vote on them... especially if someone does them weekly or monthly.
Supporting those who build their stake will show others that do not that building their stake is of benefit, that's why I'm doing it...to send a message...and because it's my stake (built through hard work) and AI can share it where I like.
