Hive = Votes
okay but votes don't always equal curation, this could be said about autovoting, blind voting and vote trading and there's issues with all of them to a certain degree. The bigger issue is however vote buying, you offer something that's not the content you've produced, the effort you've put into the chain or other "labor" related value to a service/stakeholder/account to get them to give you a vote. You're getting less than 50% rewards from that vote because you paid for it with something else that had value hive/tokens and that voter gets more than 50% of the vote so he's now earning more than other stakeholders and the author may not have gotten the vote in the first place had they not paid for it - win-win for those 2 parties and lose-lose for others.
I like it way better when ideas are the ones doing the "fighting!"
I really do need to work today hahaha, but I will do my best on all sides to "set a productive tone" around this whole thing.
These are old ideas, just cause no one's bothered to tell some of these projects to lay off with such activity until now doesn't mean it's something innovative and experimental when we've been through it many times before and can quite literally see what would happen if we'd let it grow: https://steemit.com/trending
Acidyo! You have no idea how close to home this hits with me!
This is literally "bespoke building" , just in an idea sense! This is my bread and butter!
If we going to do something, and it "fails" - at least lets learn the lessons!
ok, idk about everybody else, but I feel strongly that OPEN COMMUNICATION is good, needs to happen and is now happening. (moar podcasts hehehe)
