Posts aren't worth rewards because they are perspicacious observations of the human condition, but because the network of stakeholders decides to reward them. I don't post for tokens, just as I don't bend nails IRL for money. I undertake both to benefit my community, and endeavor to attain rewards besides money I find more valuable. On Hive, the reward most dear to me is criticism, because only that enables me to understand I am wrong so that I can change my mind and better understand reality.
I am confident my comment here has attained my purpose as well or better than a post on my own blog, because my purpose isn't to acquire tokens, but to avail understanding and communicate safety signals that people can benefit from. Plenty of people have criticised my comments here, which is beneficial to me. You reveal that people also agree with my comments here, which is why I am on Hive, to enable better understanding.
TBQH, I don't know how to configure some mechanisms potential of rewarding free speech or human affection on Hive that outweigh the burdensome financial interest we have. I hope I can make a convincing case such values are more compelling, and inspire better minds than mine to tackle the challenge. This is largely why I don't post on Blurt, because Blurt just uses financial incentives, minus the downvotes, rather than providing more valuable rewards than money.
Hope springs eternal!
I very much appreciate your encouragement. It is very competitive with criticism on my balance sheet, because if all I heard was criticism I would soon despair, and encouragement from good people grants me the will to continue speaking such truths as I discover and believe useful.
Your motives are noble and yet you also need some money/reward for your work/performance/contribution to survive/ live on.
That's why I am also an advocate of the (free) market, this is an anthopological consequence of human action, the basis of survival and also of culture - I am also of the opinion that market should be more affiliated with culture instead of politics and economics....
How free the market is, determines merely how freely the people may thank and reward each other - and to what extent the mafia would like to direct the energy flows.
Economics (real not the bs) like austrian school and especially praxeology (teaching about human action) and the resulting game theory could be very interesting to you :) !
