Now, I don't know about you, but to me - the facts say it all.
Talk about insecure and weak ego'd individuals running things - it is truly pathetic.
I've made around $40 talking about hive, off hive (so far)
I cannot make money on my account ON hive.
It's not willful blindness, if you're unable to see the facts - it delusion. (no offence, but I think you're not stupid )
I see the facts and realize the power disparity, I'm disgusted by it.
I'd like to see both sides stop talking about and stop downvoting
each other. It's stupid and it makes HIVE look bad and it means
everyone's HIVE will have less valuable because it makes this
place look undesirable. The system is unfair, this is a truism.
Making it so, is a huge challenge that isn't getting solved.
I have neither initiated any conversations, or downvoted.
Let's be crystal fucking clear about this.
There is NO 'both sides'.
It's ALL one way traffic.
My topics I choose post about on MY blog, are inspired by life events.
This is an event.
I was making enough , just - before all the bullshit - to cover my life expenses AND my granddaughters education.
That option to earn on my account was taken away from me - Other peoples actions, not mine.
Ergo - it's a very relevant subject to post about - the stripping away of another ability to earn off their does that to me - silly me. ( as it would if I'd witnessed it elsewhere, and I've spoken up many times over this last 4 years)
The silence of the whales to stop the shit show, also speaks volumes.
...it's their loss, not mine - I'll hack it out wherever I am (if the profit comes from discussing hive, why wouldn't I?)
I think that @theycallmedan was doing some brainstorming on dealing with downvote abuse. I'm not sure where or if any of that panned out or is evolving into something. One thing is certain. If another blockchain figures the thing out, people will ghost the fuck out of HIVE in favor of greener pastures, as well they probably should. We've had time to deal with sociopaths and are collectively either not too worried about it or powerless against it, seemingly.
Oligarchs and the iron rule, tells me nothing will happen.
I purposefully tagged him many times, trying to draw attention to it - nada.
If big player told to he narcissistic sociopaths/children, to shut the fuck up - they would, have no doubts about that.
Whale responses ?... tumbleweed.
Actions say more - an mean more - than glib word salads.
HIVE is broken, no doubt. I don't know if it can be fixed to prevent downvote abuse. I don't even know if the power players have the power to fix the broken system.
They have the power all right - but have zero incentive to change anything. (or at least, they think they have zero incentive - which is incorrect).
Power is being solidified with every sycophant upvote cast among the cabal - the 'in crowd'.
I wonder how this could/will all end, unless fixed? ....('end' being the operative word).
I hope people will get gud and act better. But all this blockchain stuff, knowing what I know now and seeing where the world is going. It feels a bit like re-arranging the deckchairs on the titanic. I fear we're facing an extinction level event.
Are we still talking about Hive? lol
The cabal (of all kinds) is going down, one way or another - just bit of chaos in the meantime - it'll all work out.
Never give the sociopath/psychopath/malignant narcissist any quarter - Their fundamentally psychological wiring is different to the rest - and not one that will never be altered - that's why appeasement never works.
