with this kind of mentality, HIVE will never be a network for the masses... only a niche place for long form content creators / bloggers.
I personally think it’s time to welcome the short form content. The micro-blogs. The one picture Instagram-style posts. The memes. The shit posts. That’s the way HIVE needs to go if we want to bring in the masses. Not everyone is a full blown blogger.
But hey... go ahead and give downvotes to new people that come here from their traditional social networks hoping for a cool experience, you can do what you want, but it’s definitely not helping to grow the HIVE.
Well, maybe she'll be inspired to put some more effort in.
Nothing wrong with a learning curve.
No need to shave btw, the beard looks good on you. ;-)
I’m holding out!
Do you really think such low effort posts (showing some cleavage in a selfie) should be rewarded more than something with real value? Or is it just a female privilege?
Nothing to do with male or female. I think people who go around downvoting content just because it earned more than their own content (which they think they're entitled to get more rewards on) are pathetically sad and jealous.
Like I said, I truly believe HIVE is something more than a platform for "high effort" content and full blown blogs.
I agree with you there, but I'll agree with you even more if the high-effort posts get rewarded more than low-effort posts.
It is not about jealousy, it is about being fair.
I can go to instagram and take a picture of my foot and get 3 likes. Kim Kardashian could post the same picture of my foot on her instagram and get 3 Million likes... it's never going to be fair when there are so many different things that go into the equation, everyone has different followers, everyone markets their page differently (sharing to other social sites to get more attention etc), it's impossible for the rewards to scale by post quality because it's a pretty subjective thing.
That's exactly why downvotes are actually a good thing.
Bullshit. This has got nothing to do with what type of content is welcome here. What this has to do with is rewards stakeholders think are misallocated being redirected.
Despite the current downvotes, this post is still going to earn massively more than than many posts of much higher value.
content value is subjective
And every stakeholder makes that judgement on their own behalf. Stop being a bitch about your GF losing a fraction of her very large rewards on a string of objectively low-effort posts.
I'm not bitching at all actually. But it definitely seems like you just came here to bitch. I find the whole thing hilarious... including the massive HIVE selfie movement that has been created in the wake.
I came here to to downvote, which I did. When I saw your ridiculous comment, I wanted to tell you how stupid it was.
That's a stupid, disingenious argument and you know it. Shape up, man!
No one is trying to keep anyone from posting. The only disagreement concerns rewards. A couple of bucks would be appropriate for a short-form post like this.
Like there's enough money to go around for shoveling $20 at every Instagram-style single-photo post with a couple of lines of text.
"That's a stupid, disingenious argument and you know it. Shape up, man!"
Nope
