RE: Rethinking Hive author rewards: How can we improve the distribution of rewards?
The Krampus Coefficient (KE) is NOT just a ratio. Go read Azircon the Cabal Lord, and how that mind works, and understand: Krampus is a mythical demon that beats and eats children to scare others into compliance -- and Azircon and Galen backed an account called Plonkety Piano to mock and terrorize people they were using KE score to find without any regard to the lives of the people. That stopped because some whales understood the danger of the reputation of the WHOLE CHAIN was at risk and stuffed it -- but go look up Plonkety Piano and its imagery and behavior on your own time. The cruelty of Krampus IS THE POINT, and this has already been demonstrated -- and on a chain when MANY users are the descendants of the survivors of colonialism and enslavement, that is not the kind of imagery that we need if we want to keep this chain vibrant -- no reminders of European beating and consuming the people of the world are going to be helpful when it is so many people of the world that SURVIVED THAT who are getting Hive adopted and noticed for good. There are some legacies Hive should really avoid touching.
Your comment and thoughts here have perfectly hit on a conundrum that keeps coming up with this whole discussion:
To this I would ask if you are aware of the ethnicities of the two users you mention above? We actually only see of users here what they choose to share on here, so it is risky to make accusations or assumptions.
The problem with this whole discussion is that we're trying to fix problems and the solutions are being based on assumptions of why people are doing what they are doing. As dlmmqb has already hinted, everyone can be both right and wrong in their reasoning and approaches. The witnesses are in the inenviable position of having to try and make changes in everyone's best interest and every system put in place can be abused.
The fact that Venezuela and Ghana are Hive's two biggest stories is a fact. What was done there by European colonists is big set of facts. The mythos of Krampus, and the control that myth is designed to put into children is also a fact -- and the analog to how European colonizers treated more than a third of the world is also a fact. Also a fact: the creator of the Krampus Coefficient is the type of person who has animations of murder against people who makes comments he doesn't like among his own comments... with the murderer smiling when the victim is dead. Sounds like Krampus and colonial behavior to me ... but go write "nice post" on one of his posts and find out sometimes... go look up Plonkety Piano that he backed up and how it behaved, and come back and tell me what you think.
I don't care what ethnicity anybody is, but I know the historical origins of certain evils. If you adopt those to try to get people to do what you want, there is a good chance you don't have a problem abusing people to get what you want. If you play with devilry, I'm likely to suspect you of devilish behavior, and I have seen enough. I say again: have a look at Plonkety Piano and what it was doing and THINK about what the ramifications there would have been and how Hive's reputation would have been attached to that with its LAST 138K active users according to Hive's five-year stats. Think to yourself: why did far bigger accounts than mine choose to STUFF THAT THING?

If I was azircon, I would still smile looking at your comment although we might disagreed on it.
You are right and he is right too. That's life. Sometimes no one is wrong.
Thanks for showing another pov so people can make their own independent decisions.
You're welcome. Everybody gets to choose what legacy they want to be part of. I just am making sure the whole story is out here.
