Yeah, let's write it on the welcome page on Hive, shall we? I made it a bit more advertisy:
Welcome, welcome dear newcomer! Here you find our simple and great etiquette:
Work without knowing how much awaits you at the end of seven days! Be modest and not greedy!
Everything is possible here: no contract, no obligation! It only depends on whether you are liked or not! Sell yourself as a product on the off chance, my dear!
Your popularity comes minus your unpopularity to your account! That's how simple gross is reduced from net on a case-by-case basis!
And our extra: If you're not liked, you don't just get a cheap thumbs down here, your payment goes down with it! In fact, our community confirms it: the most common use of downvotes is because people have a different opinion about you than you do!
There's no pretence here that it's about curbing spam or plagiarism. No! It is about the rejection of rewards! We are honest and super-direct!
"Plus" or "minus" at the end of the seven days! These are just signs! It makes no difference to us! We love the minus and the contemptuous opinion of others as much as our own!
We love to make ourselves unpopular, in fact we are proud of it! Become proud of your own opinion too and how you can point it out to others very quickly - without much explanation! With ... the Downvote feature ! ! !
We, the Maf.... er, tribe members and founders, we protect the poor and disenfranchised from the exploitation of the greedy and useless! We take it from the criminals and give it to you who have no money and are nobody. Here you can become liked and disliked! Together, with us!
P.S. While the supply, er, the pool, lasts.
P.P.S. Anything else unclear? Any questions? No problem: We're always happy to help!
P.P.P.S. This is without alternatives! This is IT!
;-)
Tough crowds gotta be tough.
If we were pansy pushovers the bucket would be empty by now.
!popcorn
I'm afraid we are wimps, haha! Far from the "myobs" anyway ;-)
Not ready to be Gands, mostly anti-Gands here.
Comfortable slaves never rebel.
F-I.W.
A land of Gands would be wonderful :)
Have you some other book sources I can read online?
... A little tired reading along in Hive ...
F-I.W. hehe
This one made me face being a communist and explained to me why 'anarcho-crapitalism' is a contradiction in terms.
This one predates Orwell, does a better job of illustrating the problem, imo, and rarely receives mention in the nomenclators.
If non-fiction is better suited to your time, this one has done wonders for my approach to the world.
My thanks. I'll have a look. It will take time but I've got plenty of it :)
The next three weeks I will spend out of town - hope, you enjoy the summer, too. (Of course, my laptop gets into the suitcase). lol
I've found it nearly impossible to get my reading done as long as an internet connection is available, I'm gonna have to work on that at some point.
It's hard to stay on the cutting edge when it moves with any new data that comes in.
If I had known that the wages of philosophy were poverty, I would have spent more time studying engineering.
Definitely truth to those words.
:) thanx.
Maybe a little too much focus on the money?
You decide! :-D
lol
