RE: Two Ways to Screw Your Hive Account .:. Walk & Talk Series
Hmm I actually feel that the responsibility lies more on the voter/curator instead of the person posting. I think it's really up to the individual to decide whether he/she wants to write "good content" or just "spam", but as voters, we should exercise our right to vote responsibly.
Personally, I do have some "low effort" posts e.g. zapfic stories which are usually just 50 words. I do it for the fun, and as a mental exercise to hone my creativity, and I am totally fine if these posts don't get much upvotes. I still do them when they organise it, because I just want to participate in the Freewriters community's activity. Maybe I am fortunate that I have a day job which pays my bills, and Hive is more of a hobby to me, and definitely not an income source (looking at the votes for my posts, lol!). So I am not so "strategic" in terms of trying to hunt for upvotes.
P.S. I am not sure if I am the only one. I realised videos on Hive posts/3speak takes extremely long to load for me. It was quite bad today. I think it took more than 3 hours (no kidding!) to load this 11 minute video, so the video plays for 5 seconds then pauses for a few minutes then plays for another 5 seconds and so on. It's the same with the weekly Liotes videos as well but it's the worse today. I don't have issues with other websites or if I am watching Youtube. So am not sure what is the issue, is it with Hive/3Speak's server or something or some node issue?

You are right about the "responsibility" of voting, but we can't pick who will vote for us or not, and how will some curators think... The second example was just a heads-up to not be caught in a trap of big (almost random) upvotes and fall asleep... 😃
I was doing something similar to you... For example, instead of your zapfic, I was doing Actifit posts... As much as I was doing them differently, with photos and story, they didn't attract readers and they did a counter effect to my main account and topic... Everyone had an assumption that Actifit posts are shitposts and that the rest of my posts are the same... Because of that, I moved my Actifit posts to another account, but due to lack of free time, I stopped doing them... Not sure if that helped or not to my main account, but I began receiving more comments on my other posts...
In the end, I wouldn't say for myself that I'm trying to hunt for more upvotes, but rather to be more visible with the ways of thinking and spreading the word about the good sides of this chain... That's the main reason for running the HHHLive show too... To gather the community, and to make HIVE bonds stronger... IMO, that's the only way how this chain can survive...
Regarding 3Speak, I have checked the video loading and it works completely fine... I tried some other videos and they worked well too... It was working fine the last few days, too... Maybe it has something with the GEO location? I have no idea, just guessing...
Cheers!
Yeah I tend to give more benefit of the doubt to people. I think some people are just using Hive as a platform to document their daily activities, like a journal or something. Some of them (not all of course) are not doing it to get "cheap votes". Then there are those who are building their account to grow their network aggressively. And most of us are in between. I think there's room for all of us to exist.
Thanks for checking on the 3Speak. It's not something that bothers me a great deal, just a small inconvenience. :)
