How do I not suffer proportionately? I am the sole recipient of curation rewards on TSU, as it has been since James gave me the delegation and I stopped needing to ask for delegations in exchange for rewards.
I've literally dedicated the entire last 5.5 years of my life to this place. Speaking and presenting it at hundreds of events, on-boarding (by hand, in person, hours each) hundreds of people (only 2 of whom stuck around because it's SO hard for people to use), constantly promoting it, and generally just staying out of the way of you big stakeholders that run this place.
But, now that all the truthers & journalists are being run off by top witnesses and big whales, I'm done with it, and I will keep calling it out until I stop logging in.
The DVs achieved more than I could have hoped - you actually started to pay attention a little bit to what's happening on the chain.
Of course, you're not really looking. You keep ignoring the part about azircon/curangel, acidyo/ocdb, and altleft systematically zero-ing out users.
The only reason I started poking around at this hbd.funder stuff is to show the utter hypocrisy of those "protecting the rewards pool" from actual users.
You don't suffer proportionately because it is not your stake, you only derive some income from it. So if the price of hive drops, you may lose some curation rewards, but you don't suffer the principal loss (which is much higher than the curation reward loss). This is just simple math, it boggles my mind a bit that you cannot understand such simple economic concepts.
If you think you've suddenly alerted me to the fact that people don't like being downvoted (for any reason, political ideology or otherwise), you must be out of your mind. It's been a topic for years on Hive, and on Steem before that.
But it is part of the design of Hive and I don't see any consensus by stakeholders to change it. If you can't tolerate it, you can always go to another platform like Blurt that doesn't have downvotes.
