I don't have expectation or sense of entitlement to be paid, nor is payment (the prospect of) the primary driver of self-expressive posts, but payouts are a very nice side-effect :).
As for yourself Smooth, might you consider instead of clipping wings in a somewhat random manner ('random' being your word if I remember correctly, from a recent comment in which you stated you browse around randomly in search of posts to d/v) which is likely tinged with some personal prejudice (selecting posts to d/vote based, it does seem, on content you disagree with), to shift the energy towards building up (away from pushing down)? I'm sure you've done a lot for Hive in your time here and commanding 2M HP is pretty punchy. I don't see how putting that powerful punchy energy to use in a downward, limiting, restricting motion can possibly help growth/expansion, when that very movement is in the opposite direction to it.
Anyhow, that if you like, is an arty-farty description of the issue as I see it. Thanks for listening 👍
