In this case, you and OCDB and the others are able to maintain the same curation rewards for yourself, without giving a penny to anyone else. That's the definition of centralizing.
Really shows how clueless you are. @blocktrades has been voting for the spanish community up until some time ago and only had about 50% VP for @hbdstabilizer, now he's still supporting the Haveyoubeenthere community.
@ocdb only throws a few votes on hbd.funder because price went up a lot while new content creators and content hasn't increased that much and we don't want to just give authors unrealistic high rewards as mentioned in this comment that was placed before this idiotic post insinuating bullshit like usual.
But hey, anything goes as long as it fits your narrative I guess.
your relative stake is being protected, by not giving author rewards to users, and even more so by instead sending all of that to the "DHF," which you pretty much single-handedly control at this point.
just because he has a big say on which proposals the DHF funds go to doesn't mean they're going to him nor does it mean proposals couldn't get funded without his vote.
I never made any claims about how much of OCDB's votes were being used here (though it's MANY thousands of $s per week.)
As for BT, I was just looking at his recent voting activity, which is mostly these spam comments - and I said such.
Never made that claim anywhere, don't believe I even implied it anywhere.
Are there any proposals that are funded, that do not have his support?
Have there ever been?
(Curious - guessing the answer is no, at least not since the counter-proposal was put in)
Are you okay?
Replying to this - in case Hive's threading starts breaking down here.
There's no contradiction there, those are two different contexts.
You get your full curation rewards for every hbdfunder comment you upvote.
I didn't say it's the only thing you upvote.
Yes @peakd never had the vote of @blocktrades and many other whales but it was the most voted proposal ever to exist (number of voters) and got funded for a large portion of its run (not all of it) but most of it.
Maybe expand on content you vote?
From the outside looking in, It just looks like a circle jerk. Must cost a fortune on tissue. Judging by the amount it brings back.
Remember. These things were not implemented by consensus, It was decided in a closed room and only put out once there was an assurance of who would be able to make use of it. Just look at who gets funded,
The same for the thousands of HBD paid out to perform tasks that were left wayside once payment made.
The problem is. If anyone brings anything like this to the attention of a population, There is no debate about it or discussion. There is no, Can we resolve this.
The one who made the statement gets attacked. One side is just too defensive to have a discussion. Or is it they do not want open discussion because of what may be revealed.
Defence and justification of something does not make it right.
These seems to be plenty of discussion, just no agreement.
Agreement won't be found. There is a lack of understanding on many things.
Discussion is needed. It is useless though without understanding.
