RE: Resistance is Fertile!

Seriously, in my opinion you are mistaken, obviously i think accounts like this can only bring value to hive, because as censorship spreads across the internet, hive can be seen as a place were every opinion matters, were freedom of speech is granted.
And by the way how do you decide what brings value to hive?

Sort:  

How does someone reposting his content here, not leaving a single comment in 2 years, barely getting any comments unless someone tries to explain the reason to his downvote, getting unfair autovotes to trending even though no one cares about this content enough to engage or any of his followers have joined him on Hive to engage on his post and receive votes on the comments - bring any value to Hive?

"...no one cares about this content enough to engage..."

I wish he'd engage more here, and I sometimes don't comment to engage him because I don't expect him to reply.

However, the comment section is a way to engage the audience he brings, and I do sometimes comment to expand on or express caveats to engage with them.

Unlike many, I came here because of censorship alone. It is the single feature of Hive that assures I will engage here rather than elsewhere. I literally don't use any other social media at all, and that's why.

When, not if, centralized platforms ban his content, Hive will be all that's left, and he will then be likely very engaged with his audience here, because he won't be on more populated platforms.

Free speech is going extinct everywhere else but Hive, and picking on early adopters who repost here (which is how most folks view downvotes of their content) has discouraged some already who might still be dropping their content here, where their audiences will increasingly come as censorship sours them on other platforms.

Even if folks with good content and large audiences only repost here without engagement now, as censorship increasingly recommends Hive, we might sooner get more of them to engage here by being less zealous regarding engagement here while they still have larger audiences elsewhere they are busy with.

did you just miss "hive can be seen as a place were every opinion matters, were freedom of speech is granted".

did you just use censorship against disagreement of rewards again?

Where?

You just quoted your own text, hence the again? Do I need to highlight it a third time?

You're right though, freedom of speech is granted here, it's the literal base layer of an immutable blockchain. Rewards are a bonus.

what do you think makes me downvote these posts?

is it cause I want Hive to have an fair distribution to those using it properly and valuing what they earn
or is it cause I want to see it fail and get retaliation downvotes on my 2 active posts

I think your rules of engagement are not the correct ones. The way you are trying to protect the "hive" is making it difficult for individuals like this to consider moving in fully to this platform, and so they see it as a place were they can secure their material online. This is only my opinion on the matter.

How does someone reposting his content here

This is actually the first/primary place he posts these newsletters. His videos are to his site first, then posted everywhere - but this written series is by email only, and the version on his site is only the intro, with a link to the HIVE post.

I already apologized for shoving this account with the same bunch as those other ones that get autovotes to trending.

Not trying to attack you or get an apology. I just wanted to shine some light on an aspect of the situation: he actually is actively using these to promote HIVE, via his personal site (which is FAR bigger than HIVE)
