RE: How many weeks do you think powerdown should be?
The folks that receive those upvotes then own them
Yes and when someone Downvotes the creator now owns downvotes as well.
There are many people that have been consistently DV'd after being targeted and their rewards eliminated permanently.
Sure. Unfortunate sometimes, most times not unfortunate at all and quite beneficial to Hive.
DV's are a lot of why Hive is worse.
DVs are a fairly dormant tiny aspect of Hive that exists to maintain health of the ecosystem and it does it extremely well. Entitlement and human behavior that can be shitty at times dont have an effect on that at all.
It's Hive's code that is causing those individuals to harm Hive.
No. Code is not harming Hive. Its keeping Hive healthy. DVs are given by choice of individuals that own stake. Or do we want to strip away all personal responsibility and blame a faceless tool which DVs are.
but because those whales have the majority of stake
Im sorry you cant buy more stake. get investors in. 100mil USD marketcap is peanuts in this market.
Can I prove they actively conspire? No. Are they? Yes.
No you cant prove it but you continue to say it though. And theyre not conspiring. Quite the opposite actually. Hilarious actually.
Can I prove it? No. Will I still claim it as a fact? Yes. 🤣
You're being disingenuous when you deny that DV's are the main issue that has caused Hive abominable user retention.
I dont deny it, im calling it absolute horseshit that has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Our retention sucks because our frontends are outdated, the censorship resistance narrative is dead, UX is bad on all levels, the crypto market offers other alternatives, we have no faces that are relevant in the wider crypto market here, and the earning potential here doesnt justify dealing with the steep learning curve for individuals based in high income regions. Thats why we mostly get poor people here in it for a few dollars. Willingness to Deal with bad UX is directly proportional to desperation and inversely proportional to wealth.
I went through close to 1000 people in the last 4-5 months ive onboarded and I have their feedback. I have feedback from people I simply couldnt onboard. Because of their feedback the Peakd wallet is now redesigned for example.
Those that left, in dealing with new users, left because of terrible UX, complexity, lack of algos, not having easy offramps.
But DVs are an issue.🤣 You guys experience a downvote and thats all you ever see or are aware of.
You're certainly getting paid well to.
The only thing I was paid for is organizing Hivefest. The cabal allowed me to organize it. 🤣
You know how that went? I told people id do it. And that was it. No cabal my dude.
How many new users have your fixes brought to Hive?
Should be coming close to a 1000 (might be 600-700 that have been actively posting and many others i cant really track) that i personally brought in the last 4-5 months and generated millions of impressions on social media doing it.
How many did you bring in? And I was paid you know how much? Just as much as you.
And ofc I also set up the 1 million dollar deal between Splinterlands and the DAO, which i was paid nothing for doing. If marketing for SPL works you can partially thank me for their new users.
Im just a guy, community member like you. Anyone can do it. Getting paid as much as you are for doing these things.
What the fuck have you done lately?
It's a ridiculous scam.
No. You may not like the car but its an actual car that exists. Ive seen it in person. Its definitely not a scam.
Just like you own what's left of your paycheck.
You're delusional. You want to live in an echo chamber in which only the voices you approve can be heard. This censorship has destroyed Hive's user retention and prevented it's token from gaining the value a vibrant community would give it.
Now that we're down to <10k actual users, perhaps ~3k actual people here now, there are a lot fewer flags flying. Most of the market has already been destroyed. However, such censorship remains ongoing, and I personally donate 25% of my author rewards to encourage such authors to continue to post on Hive, to it's benefit.
I wasn't able to stem the flow when hundreds of thousands were being driven from the platform, but I am doing what I can today.
Nice burn!
It is and Hive has earned it's decline to wherever it has plunged from it's early heights when it debuted as Steem in 2016, because it has utterly belied it's claims of censorship resistance and potentiating mom and pop bloggers to be able to post and earn here. Hive has failed miserably to fulfill it's promise to the market, and that's why we are today somewhere below 200 in the crypto rankings, from once being in the top ten.
That's completely self-contradictory, and denial of reality. You believe in some kind of lala land where a rally car can attract bloggers to a social media platform at a cost of $M's, while censoring hundreds of thousands of people that came here and started posting has nothing to do with user retention and growth today. That's just denial of reality.
All those things are consequences of expelling that influx of users we had by censoring them, especially the censorship resistance narrative. Creators are increasingly censored elsewhere and desperate for platforms that allow free speech. They started coming here in 2017 and were censored off the platform. We had a shot at capitalizing on that shot of market share, but that market growth is a threat to the oligarchy and their control of governance. Sun Yuchen proved that. Hive remains just as vulnerable to concentration of stake assuming control of governance, and the whales extract their ROI because they have the majority of stake.
That's why Hive censored that market away, and why it stays nice and controllable today.
However, lots of influencers and market leaders in alternative media came here back then, looking for an uncensored home. Hive was growing and attracting investment interest. People with plenty of money ventured the learning curve and did so because the offer was good: free speech and the opportunity to capitalize on content because of it. However the delivery fell short. Even as the whales flagged away the market, Steem was captured when @ned capitulated to the oligarchy, took the money, and ran.
1a1v, oracles, and non-plutocratic governance of Hive threatened the oligarchy's control of governance and disproportionate command of inflation. They had a bird in the hand and didn't care about the flock in the bush.
New users that come here do so despite the reek of censorship that Hive continues to generate. They're not the market leaders we poisoned against the platform back when it was Steem, that came here and would have made it great but for the deathgrip on governance profiteers kept. That's what happened and that's where we're at, and you're sucking at that teat today.
