Judging Period Week 16: MemeHive Theme Curation Contest
Today, I did not find any eligible posts published on PeakD's MemeHive community, and that is why I am taking the long road in screening meme posts published on the hiveme.me frontend.
As practiced, I will first search for the day I published the MemeHive Curation Contest Announcement, and from there, I will start looking for five eligible pieces of meme content nearest to that date.
After browsing more or less 100 posts, finally I found my announcement published five days ago.
The first post that caught my attention came from @grandpapulse.
As I checked the link post via PeakD, I read this notification:
Content currently hidden due to the author's low reputation or low rating.
Anyhow, that's not my business.
In his post, he talks about the Kondratiev Wave. It's my first time reading of this idea. The only wave I know is the Elliott Wave Principle, which is used in technical analysis of the price movement of stocks and crypto.
Here's how I summarized the quick recap of his content provided by AI:
The Kondratiev Wave is
a long-term economic cycle identified by economist Nikolai Kondratiev, which posits that economies experience a recurring pattern of innovation, growth, speculation, and recession roughly every 45 to 60 years. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these waves for investors to make informed decisions based on the broader economic context.
It is interesting to know that the Kondratiev Wave is driven by technological revolutions. I also found the comparison to four seasons to describe its different stages fascinating. Relating these seasons to the advent of current technologies like AI, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and quantum computing, it appears to me that we are in the "early spring," which will soon be followed by a summer—an increase in prices and speculative bubbles will become mainstream.
Before I leave @grandpapulse's post, I feel constrained to raise this relevant question:
In your opinion, what recent technological advancements could potentially signal a new "Spring" phase in the Kondratiev Wave?
Let us now turn to succeeding posts. I think this time, nature lovers will love these next two articles. The first post is about a dragonfly. I assume Trithemis Aurora is its scientific name. @mdbayezid authored this post, and it was published on C/Nature Observer five days ago.
The second post came from @shopnilhasan. This time it's a butterfly. Its scientific name is Genus Tarucus. The article was published in the same community as the foregoing five days ago.
The fourth post is also related to nature. However, this time it is not about insects but the beauty of the natural surroundings in the scenic Huairou district of Beijing.
Last but not least is from @ijelady. Her post is about the success of the Uyo Second Hive Meetup. In that meeting, members of the community shared their experiences and strategies for thriving on the Hive platform, emphasizing the importance of engagement and support for ongoing projects like SpendHBD. How I wish we could emulate their efforts to onboard new users on Hive and promote its ecosystem.
That completes our list. Thank you for your time!
The winners will be announced tomorrow!
More power to the MemeHive and the Pepe tribes!
Thank you so much for selecting my post.

The overlords of Hive, HiveWatchers and their cabal, consider my content low quality. They may change their minds and get on my knees and follower their protocols but they never responded to me. Plus I only get on my knees for the Lord.
I don't think they believe your content is low quality because it isn't. What i think is that they downvote spam. For example, i have seen LOLZ.Burn, LOLZ and Blurt getting downvoted a lot. But that is because the repetitious nature of their daily content may be considered spam, although in my opinion, it should not.
Speak to the Hivewatchers and have that sorted out with them. I have heard from people that once the downvoting starts, it is never ending. Every single one of your posts gets downvoted even if the content is excellent.

Hivewatchers are just bullies that won't respond. They even blocked me on Discord when I tried to work with them. Just watch as LEO flips Hive.
That is very weird. I know someone who had to create another account and role over all of his tokens to a new account. That is also a route you can take. Make sure you read their rules and abide by them that way you don't get downvoted into oblivion again.
Decentralized? Free speech? Start a new account? LOL Hive is a joke. I am happy getting L2 and Leo tokens.
It is decentralized, though, as no one can deplatform you from Hive. Speech, however, can be restricted on Hive as you can lose your reach if you get heavily downvoted and your reputation destroyed, putting you in a blacklist where people have to click to see your posts, which by the way a see myself doing often to see some of your content.
It certainly doesn't match the censorship we see on X, youtube, TikTok, and Instagram. But you are right to call it a form of censorship when we should have none of that here. There is a system of governance on Hive, though. You can vote against this kind of censorship.
Out of the 10's of thousands of account, I get auto down voted by less then 10 accounts and only a fraction of their vote cancel my payouts of HIVE. That is centralization. Argue what ever you want. Explain it how ever you want.
The problem is, you don't only get paid in Hive. You get paid in a maximum of 10 tokens per post by just adding the hashtags. When you get paid in those tokens, you can sell them for more Hives than the payout they are canceling. I always upvote your content on MemeHive, and if you add the pepetoken hashtag and someeofficial hashtag, you would get paid in those as well from my upvotes.
That is what I do but I refuse to transfer it to Hive. Why would I support an ecosystem that does not support me? I swap for Blurt or some other non-Hive token. I do appreciate your support but over all Hive sucks.
I understand. I am glad you actually keep your Meme tokens. I don't swap any of my Meme tokens nor Pepetokens either. I stake them. I have more than 15 million Meme tokens staked. 2 million of those are delegated to LOLZ.
!LOLZ
I understand. I don't know how the downvoting mechanics work. I have been a victim of false positives three times. Both the delegators and downvoters should be extra cautious in exercising such power. If those accounts don't serve their purpose—such as protecting Hive from spammers and plagiarizers—I don't think there is a reason for them to exist on Hive.
