Hello my friend thank you for the kind words. I really depends what happens on my next post and if it gets down voted or not.
I've been on hive for a long time, wrote numerous original articles, onboarded people and even help restart the Vietnamese Hive community. I really do love this platform and have no reason to try to scam or take advantage of it.
The people only judge you on when you mess up and don't take into account the long history.
I do realize that that plagiarism is bad and it's not something I want to engage in. I think plagiarism takes advantage of other creators and content. I would be bummed if someone stole my work as well.
I really thought I checked stuff, I thought I was hiring a local Vietnamese guy to help me because they would have a better first-hand account of the different locations in town.
I fucked up. Yes. And now it seems that 3 years worth of content building and networking is lost and no one wants to take a second look and look at someone's history and be like hey they've done a lot of good writing, hey they posted a lot of original content and ideas, it doesn't seem like something they would do so perhaps they're telling the truth.
Anyway today is my birthday. I was hoping to do a nice birthday post do some giveaways, but no.
If this thing does sort itself out I'm happy to redelegate to your community. I do believe in the Asian Hive community I do have a deep love for Vietnam. That's why I was making a travel website for it.
Just so mad at this.
Again though thank you for the support.
