HivePH is a community account and the stake it accumulates gets delegated to @hivephilippines. This stake is intended not to be powered down indefinitely. When more users support the account through upvoting its posts of delegating to @hivephilippines, it indirectly increases its holdings and shares its held value back to the stakeholders which comprises of everyone in the community.
Just like community members that delegate to @hivephilippines, the @hiveph account has been accumulating its own stake to add to those delegations, provide more delegations as rewards to community members, and is used to upvote featured authors. You can think of this community account as an extension of your asset.
Now if the mentality of a user is opting not to support the community account because they don't get any direct benefits like votes and etc., that's fine, that's your money and you do you. Just don't make silly claims that you never felt any support from the community because the community has no incentive to give a fuck about you when you can't give a fuck back to it too. Let's call it quits and mind our own business.
The point I'm trying to drive is the prevalent sense of entitlement that some kababayans feel towards their own accounts. I don't know every Filipino user here at an individual level nor do I have the time to interact with everyone and I'm sure everyone else can say the same. But what I do notice since I get alerts for @hiveph are the names of the people that interact with it.
Those comments of thanks, the delegation notices, the people upvoting the account, and the people active on discord and on chain within the visible social network of active members. If you're someone that choose to obscure yourself from the community, you do you, just don't be a bitch asking for attention when people miss out noticing you. It's a two way communication here.
I say this in a general manner because there will always be new users, old users, and unaware users that think the community ignores them even if they use the #hiveph tag.
Hive has been trending down. Some users lose morale posting because now their effort poses diminishing returns than the rewards they were receiving weeks ago. That's crypto and volatility is what you should've come into term with here. What matters more is community and network you built along because now you're in a space interacting with people whom you probably would never meet if blogging to earn was never a thing. If you only think of value based on how much payout you get for spending your time here, you're in the wrong time to be in the platform. Come back when everything is all green.
But if you're here to meet people and earn tokens as a side perk, the best time to start was years ago. That's when you could've built your social network and social capital getting connected with people from different places in the Philippines. On Hive, you get to meet Filipinos abroad, from different regions, from different professions, and people living close to your area. These are people you can learn from, be friends with, and even do business with. In short, if your mindset has always been working hard on the posts you make that earns little compared to the potential opportunities in building your social network here, congratulations on being inefficient for your time.

Very very important reminder. 😇
Couldn’t agree more.
It’s nice building your network here. You just don’t meet Filipinos but you also get to know people from other countries, and all walks of life. So if you keep thinking of those upvotes and earnings, then I think it’s time to change that kind of mindset.
