I got ripped off with splinterlands. I invested thousands to get 1.2 mil spt and a couple grand on Sps. I delegated the spt to Spt-curate my alt account and lost half my airdrop points and curation. Agg ignored my discord message about it and went to Hive engine and I was told to kick rocks. After undelegating I got my curation back and my airdrop points back. Went from 73 airdrop points to 45; 512 upvote to 200 when I delegated. Went back to normal after undelegating. I ended up finding a lawsuit centering around fraud and centralizing our second layer with splinterlands after I was tipped off by a whale. Luckily, I got out in time to break even. If I stayed in I would had lost money as Spt and SPS lost 70% of its value anyways.
You know it was just weird today. Pretty weird that the witnesses are going to focus on instant power downs now and RC delegations but no longer talking about coinbase api? Where is all this liquid Hive coming from on Upbit that made Hive inflationary again? Weird finding out The kids in Boise are hooked on Fentanyl.
Why is it ok to trust American science but not Americans on Hive? Lets Go Fauci! Wooo! Though I see @theouterlight and @ura-soul still earning better than most on Hive so I am not sure what kind of reality this is anymore. I get told Americans are crazy anti science nut bags but yet every town I traveled to from Las Vegas to Boise all are wearing masks and no gloves. Nevermind the science just showed that the delta variant was handled with natural immunity, NOT vaccines, and that it was supposedly more lethal than this omricon thing.
Weird that the snapshot tokens for peerplays was brought up very last on the @spknetwork ama and how we are going to rely on @dlux now for a dex for them. Does this mean a truly decentralized second layer will happen finally for Hive or is he going to stop everything he is doing just for the spknetwork?
I think maybe in this down crypto market, stock market and weird paranoid times it is best to hole up in my room and stay offline and really expect the worse from from people. It seems like spring time is going to be a good time for things to rebound at least for crypto. I wonder if Hive will get more American investors.
Just man its weird reading the news and experiencing a different reality at the same time.
I love everything I am seeing from @elamental. Kind of wanna maybe continue my west coast tour to Portland. Getting some money in February and maybe wanna move to that scene out there. My children do live there after all. So who knows. I am thinking @kennyskitchen is right about a lot of things, not really the downvotes so much but maybe more so supporting a network in Hive that is really a very small circle jerk that is too pro science/pro government. I was trying out Threespeak but it seems it is a even smaller circle jerk where you really need large upvotes to have your videos seen there.
Seriously we have whales going out taking curation with a special tool they developed so they can take smaller investors money way that invested into Hive. While complaining that there is no good content on hive while they upvote a food post or cast upvotes strictly to take curation. Ok?
The farm out here kicked out a world famous farmer and is choosing to put its money towards refugees and not this amazing farm they have. Plus I am being told there is mass murders happening here due to racism and fueled by fentanyl. So yeah. Just weird times. I can not see a show out here unless I am fully vaccinated in Boise or wearing a mask despite no mandates? Just really confusing.
What the heck happened to this world?
Trust the American Science but not Americans lol
Just so you know, all/most of my posts have been zeroed on Hive since October by Azircon and Curangel - so if you support my content and want to support free speech then you can contact anyone on the Curangel downvote trail to notify them of what Curangel is doing. I also created a new dApp to track downvoting here: https://hivealive.io/untrending.
Wow yeah you are right. I saw that the last few posts were good and gezzz yeah its horrendous when scrolling down. Just seems like Hive is not a good platform to use. We got retaliatory whales who are bullies, Whales out to take curation from smaller investors and yeah clearly they are pro government/pro fiat in a web 3.0 crypto driven space. I can see the freedom of speech argument on their end but def is gross bully behaviors. For sjws you would think they would be against bully behaviors but clearly are all for it.
I'm not 100% clear what the agenda is with the worst of them, but I feel it is based on habitual deception and nothing really to do with protecting Hive or even trying to protect the wellbeing of other people (based on erroneous information). There is direct financial incentive in heavy downvoting for large stakeholders, but it's just as likely that there is behind the scenes involvement with the agendas I am involved with exposing!
What the actual F? These whales are doxing people now and making threats??? This is getting way weird and interesting.
@logiczombie @azircon does it have to get this freaking serious? Really?
Well it's just one of them really, but yes, definitely crossing lines.
Ok I actually traveled to that post link from @logiczombie... and he did a great job not giving context to it in element chat. it was an old chat thread from november and not towards logiczombie
Well if he is doing who is to say others are not as well. Clearly it is condoned.
So it was brought up in a curation discord server about how your content was just boring and stale. They do not like boring content lol. But I think it is that they think you are spreading dangerous misinformation. Which is funny IMO. Info on on Hive has to be what the TV says is ok lol.
Considering that a great deal of what I have posted on COVID was part of a process of breaking stories months before the mainstream even started to concur (and which often got people banned from other networks for even mentioning them prior to mainsteam acceptance).. and also that I have regularly had thanks from professors, Doctors and many others for introducing key details to them that they had never seen anyone else talking about - for the most part the idea that my posts are stale and boring is absurd. They could only really be boring if you have no interest in matters life and death and if this is true then it says something about the emotional bodies of those involved.
When people have no rational argument, they tend to lie.
I am blown away by the threats from azircon. Like whoa dude why? You and @kennyskitchen is being proven more right each day about Hive. I mean what is our whales doing doxing people and making threats?
He says "all/most since October are zero" but just at a quick glance you can see roughly 65 are not zero and roughly 15 are zero.
I just thought I'd mention that.
As for your problem with views and stuff, well, when was the last time you onboarded a content consumer? It's a small market with more and more 'content creators' showing up looking to get paid, and no 'content consumers' showing up looking to get paid (they get paid as well). It's not a problem with the platform, the problem stems from content creators coming here to work for money and not an audience. Whatever your 'brand' of content is, you're expecting the current market to be interested and supportive, rather than bringing in eyes on your own, like literally all folks in business have to do. Due to general lack of interest in attracting consumers (and paying consumers with stake tokens willing to vote), that's why so many struggle to get noticed. Every single new content creator showing up does very little to bring a market with them. So over time, gradually, what happens is you'll have more products than customers able to support it.
The cannabis community and Korean Natural Farming community on instagram and facebook. They see Hive and see that the gardening community on Hive is virtually non-existent. In that regards I just onboarded @earthpurse777. She was well received but she can not get over the Markdown and how complicated it is, I actually had to write her post and she doesnt want me to do that. There is actually a whole community of Korean Natural Farmers I can expose to Hive this Wednesday. I am hesitant to do so because the community of Hive seems split on earning from posts. Earthpurse was looking at posts and saw how it was frowned upon to cash out Hive. So that is weird. Yeah people want to earn from posting especially farmers. With in this community is a lot of Cannabis growers who have money and want to invest into a platform like Hive but are concerned they will be downvoted or will get flack for cashing out Hive. What are you opinions on earning Hive and cashing out rewards?
Well when you can get thousands of views on content from youtube and instagram but see how Hive is such a small market base people wonder if Hive is the best move. Your comment is is actually encouraging and I feel I gotta show up with these people. I have a person who runs a community with thousands of sustainable farmers on facebook I will be onboarding on Wednesday. If he is well received then he can start mitigating people over.
There is people from this Korean Natural Farming community that want to monetize their content to help bring in extra income. On Wednesday I was encouraged to join their clubhouse room to tell them about Hive. They look at my past #knf content and see no responses and support there but see food posts earning like crazy. Even the curators for Neoxian's group today said they are looking for food posts aside from card game posts.
How about this. I Do not give up and I go full ham in bringing Farmers and these Korean Natural Farmers here to Hive and I tag ya when I do so. There are big money people in the cannabis circles there as well. Maybe with your help, sky-line buds, @canna-curate I can bring them on. It is just in the canna-curate discord they are talking about porn and a lot of stuff not related to cannabis in their discord.
Here is an example of some people I can bring in
