Interesting, you want me to rethink my answer. I think it's fine as it stands.
There's always the possibility that someone else won't mind the length, it's public here. If it doesn't meet interest, I can live with it.

Purchase 100K-500K hive from the market and power up. You will see that you are participating in governance.

I already confirmed that this seems to be the state of the art. In case, you nevertheless read what I answered.

Basically, I don't take a position that is fixed in principle, it varies depending on the situation/topic and who I meet. If I ride on principles, I may ride them to shame.

You too, have a good day.

so to clarify, if u have a big enough wallet, u can be a douche or a king, and people will fall at your feet. and if u are broke af and posting just to put food in your mouth, it doesnt matter how 'smart' you are, or how much u COULD change the platform for the better/worse, because noone will see / listen to you, because they just want to get some whaledick

or at least thats what my 4 years+ have taught me XD

Indeed, such things can be observed. But away from the big theatres, people go to the smaller stages and what lasts for a long time can one day be quite a substantial structure, which may even be able to feed one or two people. If you are an artist in life, you often make do with little, but you are your own boss (well, in many things, if not in everything). You shouldn't mess with the world, it often bites back, but you don't have to pander to it either. I agree with that :)

That is exactly how Hive has always worked - with the small exceptions of the awesome, principled, whales/investors - who have supported the little folks, helped support journalists, and pushed back against the oligarchs.
