I remember being heavily in favor of the 50/50 cut and the free downvotes (which were meant only to tackle instances of abuse and negate exploitive behavior). The end result in my mind was a better consumer experience, since they're not sifting through trash and spam, and they're being rewarded for enjoying the good stuff. Then they threw in curves that penalize people, and used downvotes to penalize producers for things they had no control over. Why discourage success? Why penalize a job well done? And why penalize the consumer when they play the most important role? Nobody on Hive likes presenting their work to the sound of crickets. Gotta have butts in the seats, and those butts in the seats typically pay at the door.
I have one regret. Sold most of my LEO when it seemed like Steem Engine was about to fall with Steem due to the hostile takeover. I thought that was the end.
I suppose another problem is the fact I don't typically produce content under this category, so I can't really join in on the fun. Kinda homeless on the platform now, in a sense. Oh well.
Homeless? Rally? Bud you're a one man show...You should actually create your own tribe and show everyone how it's done...ever thought about that?
Or even better, like oldtimer said combine your knowledge and send our way shots of economic creativity

I have thought about that, plenty of times. The size of the local market always held me back and I'm glad I considered that because it has only shrunk further since the thoughts first crossed my mind. Now with rumors spreading about dismantling content on the main layer/Hive, I'm left with an uneasy feeling. Content(could be anything) can be found on a network(community) and the network is found on the service provider(main layer). Take the service provider away and what are you left with? Confusion. I'm confused. The money is supposed to trickle down from that main layer. That's the front door every single consumer needs to walk through before they make any other purchases. Without it, I don't even know how they're going to get inside.
