Great post and I must commend your bravery on this. It can be a touchy subject and people might take it the wrong way.
Hive is a reflection of society and patronage is almost akin to giving out scholarships to your alma mater. You who have done well in Hive paying it forward to new people joining and hopefully they will pay it forward as well. That's the optimistic thinking, but like in real life, some will take advantage. That's just human nature I suppose.
Also, I gotta agree with johnhtims on reading the article but not commenting. Commenting has to be meaningful and not just "Good post".....
Thanks,
It is touchy you're right, but I can't honestly see how people can criticise it for the most part - it simply is how Hive works for most (not all) accounts!
You can look at pretty much every regular poster and you'll see votes from the same people OVER AND OVER again - that's patronage.
What might have been touchier would have been bringing up the subject of invest-for-votes or circle jerking.....
But that's for another time!
Hmm....circle jerking.... reminds me of some other NSFW term involving daisies.
