RE: You won't believe how much Hive/HBD @buildawhale burned in March?

in LeoFinance10 months ago

Four years ago I would have been against this practice, thinking it would be wiser if the upvotes and rewards were spread out in order to grow, strengthen, and decentralize "the community."

It makes no sense a post with 40 views and probably not a single person has read it making $100-200. 99% of people in social media never make $1, and he were are doing it with posts with almost no views or engagement.

We are a tiny community spending like we are on the first page of coinmarketcap.

I know. It's ridiculous. The folks earning the most for the longest time haven't done anything to create interest in their work either.

However, I saw Dalz's most recent "top earners" post today. Some new names on that list involved with Vibes. Those folks are getting thousands of views and a lot more exposure.

Still low views locally of course, but that's what 8 years of focusing only on creating and rewarding content does. Vibes has a goal of bringing in an audience as well. Won't be easy but at least they're trying.

Rewarding the arts and live entertainment makes a lot more sense as well. Has comparable value in the real world. I'll be disappointed if they too fail at bringing in eyes and ears.

What actually causes those posts to be voted so high?

Curators get a good chunk of returns on their votes. So whales with huge stakes will vote pretty much whatever. Sometimes the very fact they voted as a whale encourages more to vote, giving them a bigger return.

I like to think the majority of whales are still seeking quality and engagement, though!

If I was to judge it without comparison to others, it's definitely overpaying. My last whole bunch of posts are over-rewarded in and of themselves, so I tend to avoid posting again for at least a week to balance it out XD

But I think a lot of the real world influencer types get way more disproportionate wealth than here. Like tens of thousands of dollars for posting a photo of them holding a sock. Engagement can be really low too like, a few hundred comments. It's the derangement of ad revenue clinging on to whatever they believe is worth the best returns, then manipulating the algorithm to assure that happens in their favour.

At least everyone here gets a shot at the occasional disproportionate rewards.

Blurt has been stuck this way for almost two months. It’s so pathetic no one cares.

A quick curation earning for you and your whale buddies (curation rewards aren't being burnt) 😉 Mathematically, it doesn't do 💩, for neither the HIVE nor the HBD token.

I know you are dumb and have no understanding of any of this (which makes you being a top 20 witness on blurt a fucking riot. But the curation rewards will be earned regardless of what is voted on. There is absolutely no difference. But $19,000 isn’t being sold which is huge. But continue being salty, it suits you. Quite entertaining watching you come over here to cry.

lol writing a few comments responding to your crying is spending more time there now? Your ignorance is breathtaking.

LOL, dude whatever drugs you are taking, you might want to cut back. It nearly takes all day just to load the site it is so slow.
