RE: Time for a HIVE break + powerdown.

in #hive2 years ago

Read through your post here and just realized that there is actually such thing as "auto-vote" while I am painstakingly "scan-read" posts before I actually upvote and that even poss from the ones I have chosen to follow. Seeing how serious you are with your votes, I am honored that you are actually upvote some of posts considering how short I made them. Thanks again and I am glad that your wifey @kobold-djawa actually taught me to steem and then HIVE even as lazy as I was.

Sort:  

From a technological point of view HIVE is a great platform, and also the original idea behind it (to be blockchain based, decentralized, censorship-resistant and offer the possibility to earn for blogging) is brilliant.
On the other side the power is concentrated in the hands of a small number of users (some of them early miners and former bidbot owners) who in addition know and support each other since the beginning. That's why I call HIVE an "Oligarchy".

That said so far the alternatives to HIVE aren't better in my opinion.

As 'small' user best for you is probably to stay out of 'politics' and just enjoy posting.

Agree. Won't understand the politics anyway, but I will find out the technical details. Curious to know how they do that.

You're welcome :). Yeah, many are using autovotes, so it is especially hard for newbies cos they have not built a good network just yet. The reward pool is drained by the big accounts and their closed circle first and only small part is left for the rest.
