HSBI. While that project has been getting a free pass since forever because they made the scheme spread over the whole userbase and downvoting them would probably result in the biggest voting war ever seen in human history, fronts were clear right away.
This is incorrect.
HSBI spread because of the 'little people' who were minding our own business and writing posts that no one wanted to read except others in the same small group, who never got any respect for all it did for the chain(s) old and new.
It spread because we didn't mean anything to the whales. We didn't cause a threat and still don't. We also never got any votes. The group was not run by someone with backing from a whale, so it didn't count. There was no secret society wanting to take over the blockchain........ Maybe one person wanted to, but that is not my story to tell.
HSBI is what it is today because a small group of crappy Nonwriters (per day of old standards) took our profits from our one-cent votes and bought other HSBI in hopes that it would give people an incentive to stay and keep writing.
And for a lot it did.
It is a GREAT incentive program to HELP retention on the Blockchain. It never hurt anyone when it started and still doesn't.
Retention being key here, it really isn't about the size of the votes, but the fact that some entity, collective or singular, took the time to vote and gave the user attention. We are social creatures and just that little bit of attention got them a little more attention and still does. Which almost directly influences the retention. Well said sis. !PIMP !DUO
The problem is the people complaining about HSBI never got a post(s) that was not seen or never got a vote.
They were great posts. They were great people. A lot of those people are still here today because of those of us that gave out HSBI so those people's posts at least showed someone cared.
Do you have any idea what time it is?
Whelp, I will tell you! It's "I should still be sleeping!" time!!
Anyway. Yes. RETENTION is the key and has always been the key.
and there is more words to write here but Do you have any idea what time it is?
