The whitelist only existed back when we were offering curated users to buy profitable votes, after the EIP hardfork we stopped selling votes, followed the majority of the whitelist who were active with @ocdb and curated them manually. Since then we've moved on to focusing our curation on diverse communities. Delegating to @ocd won't get you any returns, delegating to @ocdb will and it's okay to us if other projects give you higher ROI, we don't focus on maximizing it.
Many talk on Hive about community but I have seen that it is just to get a witness vote or to get them delegations and they never even really care what your channel name is just you voted or delegated to them.
This seems to come out of nowhere, what makes you think that?
Yeah.. the rest of your comment seems similar, well, I'm not gonna try change your mind but feel free to ask around what others think about ocd.
I will tell you what makes me think that!
When the top witnesses wanted to fork from Steem, they were all about it is a community, they got people to vote their witness to help do this. Do not get me wrong I do get the whole picture here, need big accounts to help the coin have value but When I needed some help to get a proposal up for promoting Hive on my journey around the U.S. it seems no one knew a thing.
I sent DM's asking why the proposal page was not doing what it was meant to do for me and all I got was silence. They would tell me they do not know but some of them had a proposal up themselves, so it seems some "speak with a forked tongue" as it has been said.
I guess I am frustrated at this point and I took it out here on this post. I really was not talking about @ocd or @ocdb but it was more of a generalized comment and this just happened to be the post I made this comment on.
I think Hive has become more about making money for the whales instead of trying to get the coin and the platform to reach its full potential as more than just a blogging platform. I wish I had the knowledge to make it happen but I do not all I can do is try my best to promote Hive and bring more people to the platform.
I am looking for all the YouTubers to start posting their videos on 3speak and become part of the platform. That was the second purpose of me traveling the U.S. Imagine what it would do for this platform and then use the coin to buy and sell throughout the nomad and the homesteading community. That is just two groups of people, it could be many more. It seems those ideas are lost on this platform at the moment!
