RE: Is This Hive's Verified Check Mark?

2 years ago(edited)

As far as I know, there's to be no expectation of rewards, including curation. If you're upvoting garbage, and someone removes the rewards from garbage because they don't want to be screwed over and watch money fly out the door for no reason, the one upvoting the garbage in the first place screwed themselves, they were not screwed over by someone else.

I'm sure that makes way more sense now lol

And maybe it's worth pointing out, if someone out there is being an intentional menace with their downvotes, that's still not the final say.

You have -14. All that tells me is you pissed someone off and perhaps that individual doesn't handle anger well, and that's still a guess. That -14 doesn't force me to think less of you as an individual. Much like an 80 doesn't mean you're a class act.

Those with the mark are good or qualified? Those without the mark are bad or unqualified?

That's madness, in my opinion.

You are confusing expectation with guarantee

When you own a marketplace stand you expect returns. You understand there is no guarantee but you work towards maximising your reward.
When you are the guy that got hired to run the stand, you are guaranteed you wage (kinda).

Noone here got hired. OTOH, no money = empty marketplace.

If you're upvoting garbage, and someone removes the rewards from garbage because they don't want to be screwed over and watch money fly out the door for no reason, the one upvoting the garbage in the first place screwed themselves, they were not screwed over by someone else.

I actually skipped this part in my original comment (only discussing people upvoting legitimate content posted from a targeted account) but I believe that:

From a theoretical standpoint, it is actually rational to look away unless you are a top stakeholder.
In practice, even large accounts gradually gave policing up in a Tragedy of the Commons spirit.
(The inevitable result of) Moving the policing towards a public service means extra costs and extra drama.

And maybe it's worth pointing out, if someone out there is being an intentional menace with their downvotes, that's still not the final say.

Sweet. This happens to be the core of my previous comment.

An intentional DV menace is totally the final say unless you can secure* an account that can win the DV war for you. Having a large but uncoordinated fanbase won't take you through as your supporters are going to drop like flies post by post because they literally watch their money burn.

(secure an account = own a fat alt yourself or be indispensable to a whale)

You have -14. All that tells me is you pissed someone off and perhaps that individual doesn't handle anger well, and that's still a guess.

I totally pissed off a handful of people. Only a few of them actually ran a milking operation and those were all rational DVing me to protect their business. One happened to have large enough stake to make me rationally protect my investment (both finance and commitment). From that point on, we all pretend it was a community vote decision and a good citizen obliging.

That -14 doesn't force me to think less of you as an individual. Much like an 80 doesn't mean you're a class act.

Those with the mark are good or qualified? Those without the mark are bad or unqualified?

The mark (or lack of) doesn't force you to judge anyone either. The only difference is that more people will be able to understand that if you shove the price tag in their face.
