Intellectual Laziness!
Some of the content creators post the same thing and expecting that over time, they get paid more by providing the same quality for years. It's fine if they have a low bar of expectations like being contented on what everyone else tips but to be exude some level of envy is just entitlement. Post what you want, just level your expectations on what you can expect from the platform. Some people really improve their blogs over time and some just stagnate.

The stake present on @hiveph account is built by the community members that were present in the past and now. At some point, there was a group that said why don't we build something for everyone and it snowballed into what it is now. The amount of HP present is proportionate to the cumulative effort everyone is putting into the account.
With a community that spans more than hundreds and yet less than 30-50 people actually give a flying fuck about it, it's not really a surprise to see there's less progress than expected from its years of existing on the platform. Now picture this from my point of view where people who contributed none from that building process expect HivePH to be supportive of them. If I had to pick which to support given the limited amount of voting power the community has, my bias will always be for the people that do bother with the community.
There was a point in time when everyone had free admission and the screening process for membership was non-existent, you know what happened? nothing. So when more perks were added to qualified members and memberships had thresholds in place, it's when the community started to gain more resources by investing in those that do matter. I'm all for supporting people out there but if they're playing a selfish strategy when you're game requires team work, I think I'll make a pass on these few.
With regards to the voteme privilege, it has been a source of headache since you're not only managing voting power and stake, you also need to adjust expectations on how people want to be rewarded just for existing on the community. There's the aspect of keeping the bot up and liquidity available all the time so that delegators get paid which is not a responsibility passed on the community.
Good governance looks boring. The fact that there's little drama on the community means most problems get nipped in the bud. It's only when things don't work that people start to notice we're doing something, take for instance how Kembot is online, only when the voteme is down do people notice the bot needs a coder that fixes things and they are allocating their precious time on the community for free when in fact, doing the same job for a client will costs us hundreds of dollars. Like I said, a lot of things that keep this community running are concerns aren't shared with majority of the members because that's not their assumed responsibility.
Naku po! I went on a smoke break before I can put my take on this one 😂. Personal development is a huge thing for me. If I took some actions (today) or applied it in reality there are only two reactions either good or bad. If the next day comes whatever the outcome is I will accept it, no regrets and learned from it.
The answer is clearly on their faces and yet blinded by it. Here is the because part Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. The best quote out there..Pinaghain na kita susubuan pa ba kita?
On that note, someone is telling a story a group of people gathered there are laughers, mockers, confused and believers. Do we removed the others and take only the believers? IMHO no we need all the groups of people to build a community in that way the community supports the Hive Blockchain as a whole.
We have a small community on Discord the Rice Group. We are taking baby steps towards a new beginning to change the system of the Filipino mindset in this blockchain (balyena is the bida). As a Filipino we (Rice Group) believe that the power is in your hands (HP) we can be balyena!
We will open the flood gates soon for our fellow Filipinos (we just need more coffees and more talks 😀).
And in my opinion, casting out dead weights makes everything efficient on record or prove a point that removing them is inconsequential. If one wants to be rewarded by the community, it has to be by their merits, this is what I believe anyway.
I don't want to invest my resources in people that siphon off value for personal gain in excess when there is a system in place where you can share the resources and be a team player where everyone wins. We're here for the money but there's at least some balance with greed vs altruism at play. Between someone that does something for the community vs someone that just passively exist as a community member, I'd be more than willing to invest my time on the former than the latter because that builds them up to do more for others.
There's no problem if you setup a community where everyone is welcome and gets a piece of the pie for doing absolutely nothing to earn their keep. Just don't complain about it when value doesn't get reciprocated. Seeing the Filipino community from steemit blockchain days up to now just enforces my beliefs that my efforts should be directed more to specific few that have an interest in building the community better than when they found it than those that just exist by name as a community member.
EDIT: That's partly the reason why the initiation channel on discord exists, so we let community members vouch for one another whether they earned their roles. I believe everyone deserves the type of community they have eventually. This means everyone had played a role in commission or omission in shaping the community.
