I actually don't use my referral link very often, but I would consider trying it again. One person I referred was someone who I helped to teach about blogging, before I was active here. Unfortunately after I referred him, I found out that he had become greedy at another platform and was stealing pictures. Thankfully I found out before I really showed him around Hive, and he never became active here. I've helped others get onboarded since and am happy with the results, but that one bad actor has me wary about having other accounts so closely associated with mine 😢

Yeah unfortunately there's some of those that no matter how often you warn them and explain that due to the way rewards work here you can't just steal text from other places or post images without sourcing etc, they still do it thinking they can get away with it. It's kind of weird and embarrassing, especially since they tell you a whole lot about themselves in their intro posts and indirectly link their facebook and other socials to their accounts to then instantly start plagiarising. 😅
Oh well, I guess they realize quickly after why the community doesn't tolerate that, lol.
Oh he knew better. And to make it worse, even made up stories about the content (drawings, paintings, and vacation pictures). He just thought he could get by with it... Once I found out, I stopped dealing with him. It was quite a shock :(
Whats your opinion on AI generated art? We have been seeing people post AUI geenrated art on hive for years on @alienarthive since BEFORE it was controversial
now all of teh sudden i9 see idiots group thinking, getting offended for no reason after seeing AI generated art, acting like its somehow stealing from other artists lol, its pathetic. People cant even get consensus on that so theres never going to be any sort of nice place in teh future free for artists without censorship. There will always be assholes out theer on every chain censorsing everything forever, acting like anyone who doesnt struggle and suffer like them, is cheating. Otherwise we would be using openai tools and ai arty generators to make all sortsof content and nfts on hive, and we would see the ai art generators used for games like splinterlands etc, but nah, well just see a group of "human purists" go around downvoting aui generated art on hive, watch lol
we may end up having to fork hive for pro AI generated images and content, i bet that hive fork would end up winning out
It's not stealing, it's an accepted way of creating something new.
Like any other art form, it depends on how much the artist puts into it whether or not they will be successful. Even with the technology available to allow anyone to create art, effort still shines through.
I know of one very good author who spends at least 90 minutes on her text generated AI images, tweaking them to just what she pictures. This is in addition to the actual content of the post!
Hopefully just like photography, modern art, and short form posts such as Zapfic we will be kind, and give support when and where it's deserved. While not awarding like $30 to someone who only put in five minutes of effort on the whole thing.
Why would we fork Hive over something like that???

Where do you even get your hive referal link? Ive only ever seen referal links used for steem or hive front ends like ... peakd or busy.org or @dbuzz https://d.buzz
if we had a hive engine referal program now thatd be nice. or something that worked for communities. id love to have a front end that lets you sign people up and they only get their posting keys so they cant change the default beneficiary rewards for all their p[osts, really force someone to pay you like 50% of their post rewards for like 6 months , then we could make onboarding lots of new users really profitable, and i mean brand new clueless content creators who are used to getting paid $0 ... and who will be happy to get whatever hive/hbd/he tokens they earn every day from posting.... not knowing that 50% is being taken as a referal tax for at least 6 months. or longer!
I used my Ecency referral link. I don't know if there was any benefit...
I think they have the right to know... But they should also know that unless they're selected for a free account, they'll have to pay a small fee to get a full account instantly.
