RE: The user @Acidyo is insistent on destroying our Community - Important Announcement for the FreeCompliments Community!

I appreciate the specifics, and everyone here trying to keep the conversation productive.

I think its healthy for the ecosystem to have these discussions, it does seem as if some of these services have gone "too far", and then with layering....

But - it was "peace time", people did things, built "services". And some more creative than others it seems.

For me, we should consider a few things

  1. the opposite of peace doesn't need to be war, it could be productive discussion about the appropriate limits to the behaviors for what we do with our own money/stake.
  2. details matter - there are good, creative, math based programs out there doing as good or better (than people manually clicking) at finding users, supporting decentralized curation and using Hive Power.
  3. I personally do not agree with this, but it must be noted that "downvotes are violence" is a prevalent thought, still to this day.

all in all - you started the conversation. So, let's ALL talk about it!

Hive = Votes, no reason for it to be so mysterious.

MOAR podcasts!

Hive = Votes

okay but votes don't always equal curation, this could be said about autovoting, blind voting and vote trading and there's issues with all of them to a certain degree. The bigger issue is however vote buying, you offer something that's not the content you've produced, the effort you've put into the chain or other "labor" related value to a service/stakeholder/account to get them to give you a vote. You're getting less than 50% rewards from that vote because you paid for it with something else that had value hive/tokens and that voter gets more than 50% of the vote so he's now earning more than other stakeholders and the author may not have gotten the vote in the first place had they not paid for it - win-win for those 2 parties and lose-lose for others.
