In the sense of what was given to whom? :D I don't know if I understand your logic correctly? Are you trying to convince me that I'm supposedly rejecting "the hand that feeds" or something like that socialist nonsense that keeps socialist society feeling guilty that supposedly some "enlightened leaders" give to them and they are not worthy of taking?
You don't have to do anything in "my case" I can take care of myself. You could rather do something about others who were fooled by the nonsense that is being propagated on hive and spread this article so that it reaches as many people as possible.
It says anti socialist for a reason.
Socialusts use govt's monopoly on force to coerce compliance to their rules.
No different than any other authoritarian.
I was just offering to help spread the word about your mistreatment, but I don't recall your case.
The crowd upvotes/downvotes for its own reasons, this is the game.
No rewards are 'yours' until payout.
Nothing is changing until more stake decides things are changing.
If one doesn't like how the hive is managed, power up moar hive.
No one says we have to be here.
It's just a ride.
Yes, you are correct.
The ninjamine is still blowing out the balance of the math, I agree.
But, the only way past this hill is over it.
Or, succumb.
I'd like to see the n2 come back, that can only happen when enough stake is on both sides to keep the balance from getting blown out as you describe.
The n2, and better curation, could come back if 'the whales' respected a vote cap, but greedy folks gotta greed.
Well, you have to be able to discern the different viewpoints.
The viewpoint of the people that created this platform for us to complain about their 'mismanagement' on is that they need to get paid for creating the platform.
The viewpoint of the earliest adopters is that they need to get paid for making the early days a success.
These are not viewpoints that can be invalidated because one doesn't share them.
These dominant viewpoints can't change until the political power in the hive spreads out some more.
That only happens if people power up moar hive.
