If you set your post rewards to burn, your curators will still get their part of the curation and hw's will likely leave you alone.
You've sent thousands of hive to exchanges, you've powered down to do it, it's pretty clear to the rest of us that you have no interest in being a power in the hive, why would the rest of us continue to provide you with exit liquidity?
It drives down the value of the tokens we hold.
I'd just as soon you bought back in and became a mid-level somebody, but that doesn't look likely, at this point.
Do what ever you want. I care about the information. I am not here to make money. However, whatever I do make I will utilize. I would say that you should not up or down vote then, just read the content. I was under the impression this was a platform against censorship and one for creators to engage with as they see fit. What they are doing is why this platform will is stagnate. But by all means make it only about revenue. Some of us care about more than making money and gaining influence. Not saying you disagree, but clearly the childish downvoting whales do, and yet I still make some money here, as a bonus. Seems to be a win-win for someone like me who is only here to share important original content. Hard to see why anyone would try to stop me from posting this content here as I see fit.
I just thought you might want to toss your supporters a bone, but clearly, this is all about you, and not them.
With the hp you have flagging people just makes you look petty.
I'm not here for the money, either, I'm waiting for the power pyramid to invert, just so I can laugh at the futility of trying to hold onto power at all costs.
Once the worm has turned, there will be no stopping the blowback.
You could have played a part in that, but, well, you do you.
How in the world you get "it's all about you" from what I said is beyond me. But play the victim. That is the way of the world today. If you lot would stop pretending that what they do helps this platform, maybe it could actually make a difference. Right now, it seems to be all about the egos of the whales. But please, tell me again how it is all about me, as I make nothing and just want to share the work.
I'm not a victim, I don't vote your posts for other reasons, mostly because you get enough support that you don't need mine.
I generally don't vote posts with more than 5hbd on them, nor accounts that routinely get more than 10hbd per post.
I'm not pretending that flagging people helps retention, most of the people that get flagged shouldn't get rewards anyway.
But, you said 'the money isn't important', and when I offered a way to demonstrate that the money your supporters could be getting is important to you, you created some strawman to make it about me.
I think it's a shame that 'the community' was giving you governance relevant amounts of stake and your choice was to dump it like it was hot.
Dumping doesn't hurt 'the whales', that's who is buying.
Dumping just helps solidify their control.
Imagine 'the whales' getting flagged off the platform they brought into existence because 'the community' is tired of the years of 'abuse' they subjected us to.
That is what I am here for, and your choice to dump is not helping to shorten the time that will take.
It's already happened to stinc, and a few names I won't name.
It's just a matter of time for the rest of it to play out.
Okay, you make a good point, and I apologize for being so curt. This whole thing just frustrates me. I will consider what you are saying. But I will add that not being here for the money, and utilizing what I do get, are obviously not the same thing. The point is, I would post here regardless, but will make use of what people think the content is worth. The whales just ruin that organic ecosystem. Again, I think you make a good point, so thank you.
It is very easy to get emotional about the hive, I have seen many accounts do it.
IF you can make peace with hw's, that would be the best thing, imo.
But, if you can't, then burning is the play.
Every hive you burn doesn't go to cement control at the top, burning hive benefits every holder equally.
Dumping hive just puts it in the hands of the people making things this way.
Much like hoarding coins takes dollars out of the banks' pockets.
The fed buys coins at face value from the mint.
A dollar of change in your pocket is a dollar of value out of the banksters' pockets.
A burned hive is a hive 'they' can't have.
I wasn't expecting the interaction, that will count in your favor with the crowd too cowed to speak their peace.
