When money is involved, that is when you'll know who's your friend or foe.
Hive isn't different from the real world where people go to any length just to make money, it's just that here isn't paper money but it's still money.
Just like you wrote, some people leave for other places when they feel their efforts aren't rewarded, that's true. It's discouraging to see a post you spent hours writing not get any reasonable support, with the claim that it's not a quality vote, and I ask, who and what determines a quality vote?
There are some communities you'd like to be part of but their rules are such a scare. How then will they grow if no one joins them.
About the Pixelverse, I really felt for friends who their time in that airdrop hoping something good will come out of it, but they were disappointed. Imagine the millions of dollars the project owners got yet they couldn't stay true to their words. That's what we see in the online space. Some people are leveraging on others to amass wealth forgetting that karma is real. For the so called Nigerians who sold their rights for peanuts, they are worse than the project owners, and their own karma is waiting at their doorsteps
Whether on Web3 or elsewhere, so far it's in the online space, you're just on your own.
Thanks for the detailed comment. In reality, I think there's mostly nothing like time and the equality of reward. You can spent 6 months and get 5$ and also spent 3 months and get 500$ I think sometimes effort does not matter, sometimes people get lucky or unlucky. So if anyone choose to leave because they got unlucky, they'll miss other opportunities or chances because they got angry and left.
You're right about this. It's just a matter of luck and who knows who.
