nobody will notice!
Well in that case, sure. I did pick up on something using my ole noggin again, but I can't say I truly give a fuck. Based on this whole idea of yours that goes a little something like, "You're not included because you don't think the right way," I've realized the upvote/downvote thing is just superficial nonsense. You folks might think and promote this idea downvotes are nonexistent, but the reality is, the new downvote here is simply the act of not upvoting. There's no middle ground now. It's all, or nothing.
So two things that'll happen in the future guaranteed are:
There will be a lot of folks 'kissing ass' and attempting to think 'the right way' in order to get those votes.
For folks not receiving support the effect on the mind will be similar to the inner turmoil caused by being downvoted so some of the same drama will still occur.
People can tilt the playing field or move the goal posts, replace something with something else and so on, but that doesn't change the people.
So in this case, I suspect those being downvoted elsewhere then coming to this new tribe to complain about downvotes and mock any other system would then receive support since that's the 'right way' to think. One could even exploit this system and manipulate the people offering support simply by treating a select few around hive like shit, setting themselves up to get downvoted, then eventually earn through this tribe by developing a smear campaign they're not even serious about. What I'm saying is rather than exploiting a 'system', they could just fuck with your heads. All those rules in place to protect the reward pool can easily be bypassed provided the 'groupthink' within this tribe is predictable enough to be manipulated.
So that's something to think about, I guess.
The new downvote is more like every post and comment you do gets nuked by a whale with a higher rep so you get to watch your rep go further down with every post you do, and one of those nice reps in the 70's is soon a thing of the past.
As is earning anything from your posts, because even if you get 200 upvotes and the whale doesn't have enough downvote power to wipe all your rewards, he just gets an entire curation trail to downvote you.
And then to be told that the problem is imaginary is a bit like shagging a sheep with no lube... And being the sheep...
Where were you, back in the day, when the entire concept of this second layer didn't exist. Where were you when it was mentioned this second layer concept was to be implemented in part to help eliminate reward disputes. Where were you when people realized once this second layer goes into effect and there a multiple tokens, if one is downvoted, the other tokens exist to counter those downvotes, naturally, resulting in people still being able to earn on Hive.
These tribes are offering everyone the ability to earn. So what's the problem? I think nearly everyone will agree, the situation you're in sucks. You're not being honest though when you say people can't earn on hive due to these downvotes.
You're in a situation where you can't earn hive due to circumstances beyond your control, but you can still earn on hive, and the damage in the reward department has been mitigated due to the systems in place, which you conveniently leave out when posing an argument.
Should one feel they deserve more than second layer tokens? Did we not take what we could get before those second layer tokens existed, happily? But maybe now that they exist you feel you deserve all, by default, perhaps? Maybe you feel it's not fair? Do you feel like you're losing out maybe? I don't know. All I know is for me, I see and endless stream of second layer tokens I'm not able to earn by default due to circumstances beyond my control, but you don't see me bitching.
My content doesn't fit into LEO for instance and I'd be downvoted if I placed it there hoping to earn. But that does not bother me one bit and I don't feel like I'm losing out. I don't play any of the play to earn games and I don't feel like I'm losing out. There are several folks around not able to produce art for instance so therefore can't make money minting and selling NFTs. I doubt they feel like they're being held back.
The opportunities here to earn are endless, with more on the way, but not everyone can earn from everything, all of the time. You're earning freely on Hive by simply using your stake within this new tribe and voting, correct?
And I didn't say you're imagining things, so once again I should remind you to stop putting words in my mouth.
Your refusal to acknowledge anything I'm trying to point out here would indicate a disconnect from reality though. You bounce around a lot. In some places you act tough and act like you don't care about the Hive token, proud for selling it off. In other places you act like it hurts your feelings you don't get any. But you could simply take your tribal earnings and covert them if you really wanted Hive, since that's an option as well. Also, it's worth mentioning, you were powering down and acting like you were on your way out before this steady downvote thing happened to you, if I remember correctly.
As for you reputation... that's only a number. But I realize some folks think it defines them.
Back in the day - 2016 - I was called @sift666 and I was getting downvoted by bernie sanders...
And upvoted too a couple of times...
But I wasn't getting EVERY last post I did nuked.
In the end I did have to switch to a new account, and had an OK run for a while. But not this year, because posts questioning the official narrative (including the coronahoax) are now verboten.
My earnings on POB were all ended too because I had to turn them off or my rep would eventually be below zero.
VYB has only be going two days and my earnings from posting (four posts) so far would be worth less than $10.
I've had three alt accounts nuked. You realise that once your rep is below zero nobody can see your posts?
I have no regrets about selling off my Hive tokens - made shitloads! - it's not like I'll ever earn it from blogging on Hive...
If you don't give a fuck, why do you care so much?
Yes, I know who you are. You've changed a lot, and I've watched you change even more once you began to collapse under the pressure of this fucked up new world. You even turned your back on friends and treat them like enemies now. So you're probably right and I should stop caring, since that at least makes it fair.
The day I unfollowed your account you posted something about someone potentially dying from the vaccine. You were happy about it. That's how dark the world is now. It's disturbing. And not just you but in general, all around. Hard for me to watch hell.
My break was nice and I shut all this off. Coming back to it is like being sent back to hell. And in some cases it's like watching friends drink themselves to death knowing full well there's no point in talking since it only creates a fight, and they can only be right.
Peace out dude. I'm gone.
I've certainly posted about injection deaths (they are not vaccines) but I am never happy about any of that. I know people personally who have died after being injected, and many of my friends and most of my ex friends have been injected so I know what is coming...
I live in Wellington NZ - not quite Melbourne Aus - but FUCKED UP... I would say come and see for yourself, but you can't. Nobody can... (Not even my friends or family who live in the South Island that I can see out the window)
Yeah I may well be different, but honestly, if you had pulled this bullshit out when I was @sift666 you would have been the subject of a spectacular post.
Thanks for generating discussion even if you are a complete twat.
To be clear, perhaps 'happy' was poor word selection, as it's difficult to describe. Maybe I saw you openly experiencing a form of satisfaction, in a sense, after hearing about some rapper who had been promoting vaccines pass away. Regardless, I know what I saw, and I thought it was disturbing, and I stand by that. Plus it's on the chain, so there's nothing to be 'won' by bullshitting. You're not the only one who acts in similar ways these days. And to be fair it happens on both sides. Disturbing attitudes galore. Which is why I personally avoid these groups. Far too demented for my liking. And that's just me being honest with you.
But whatever dude. That's how you are now. Threats and calling me names. Have a nice life.
OH, you mean Louie Knuxx - yeah I was pleased he died - that was hilarious - he was one of the most talentless and unpleasant scumbags to walk the planet - his death was always going to be party in the streets material however it occurred - the fact that it was from the deathjab right after he was all over Twatter saying the unvaxxed should be smacked over for being pussies was just an added bonus!
Wow that is going right back to August when most of my posts still weren't being nuked! Long ago...

P.S. I can see this just fine.
Yeah that part about the pictures sucks but I think that's a feature meant to remove 'illegal obscene images'.
Yes, the hive-cabal really want to protect us from obscenities...like non approved content...
