RE: The Daily Meme #476!

I don’t know how it was on HIVE in the beginning but as I just mentioned in a post by @daltono I feel like there is more of an effort here to make some communities within Hive to try and regulate everything in a fair manor in contrast to Steemit that was... Well, really bad.
Hive is a different critter than steemit.
Steemit was a creature of stinc that reset the chain to make sure they controlled the coin.
Hive is more decentralized than that.
The bad whale and bid bots were the first to go.
Stinc gave us linear rewards, bidbots(pay to play), and a two year walkabout by the devs.
Their philosophy was that abusers strengthened the system by presenting issues to be solved by the community, but when they facilitated the abuse they became the issue.
Communities allow us to silo ourselves, I was against them.
Still am, we should learn to work together, imo.
I do see their utility for content aggregation.
No need to look in the hive motors community if I want latte art.
Same with the peertube frontends, great for content locating, but not at the expense of the plagiarism rules.
If we let folks just copy/paste from the web our content would soon be as lacking in value as fedbook or tiktok content.
Of no value outside the intelligence community.
Were the price of hive to moon again payouts get stupid real quick.
If that value goes to folks that did an honest day's work it is a good thing, but if it goes to low effort posts, potentially stolen from the original creator, what is the value of that?
I agree that content not created by the poster can bring value to the chain, but the consensus is that we want proof of brain to be a thing, and that requires original content creators posting original content.
It also means interacting with the commenters.
I've had to stop voting an original creator that creates high value content, mentions the hive in every video, is exactly the type of creator we are looking for, but he is powering down everything we gave him and sending it out to an exchange.
He has a rep over 70 and next to nothing in hive power.
I wish I could sing his praises, but he has sold us down the river.
I have seen some of that. My motives was questioned in a Discord channel by a person worrying it was to get a quick payout. We have never withdrawn accept 1500 hive in 2019, can’t remember why. We are powering up and the only time I powered it down was to get some Hive to try out the Peakd new promotional tool. When I looked at the users account (rep70, I will not mention his name since I don’t want to start anything, just to note I am seeing these things) I saw that he withdraws every week and only has 1.8k Hive Power.
