The only time I ever voted for myself was in the early days on Hive. I was just learning the buttons. 😅 I also haven't withdrawn a penny from here so far. I don't see the point in withdrawing $100 when you can make a few more cents on top every day until that lump is enough to live on or retire... But by the way, the 50/50 option is pretty good for those who need to eat. Let him be better off eating and creating great content here and growing at the same time, than starving and going away after a year. And in a year he himself will understand how much more you can get from Hive than a few tens or hundreds of dollars...
There's benefits from building one's Hive account and at the current prices I don't see much point in removing any; that's just me though and everyone has a different situation. I really like the balance the user I mentioned in this post applied and I will support that person with larger votes because of it.
Exactly! It's like depriving yourself of possible future profits voluntarily...
