RE: As a whale, why are you not funding any idea on Hive?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
First of all, you could bother to show a little more respect for what many people have been building here for YEARS.
Secondly, you sound like a user complaining about having few rewards... but the network has rewarded you fairly well for your last few posts (including this one).
Yet you waste no time in making power downs of the little you have accumulated. Are you really going to lecture whales on morality? Cmon.
In third place. My stake, my choice. Same as every other user. Are you saying that large users should favor small users more?
Well, that's not how it goes.
In any case, small users should work hard to be the 'big user' someday and not expect others to give them the value of their work. Remember that the vast majority of whales here have not been given anything, if anything they have earned it.
Finally, let me say that although I think the topic of the post is in itself interesting, you have articulated it in a way that pits the different types of users in the ecosystem against each other, and you do so with disrespect to the network (basically you're stating false facts). Be more careful next time.
All the best.
You are missing the point, honestly tho.
I see you say your stake your choice, and then talk about power downs of mine, well, my stake my choice.
Then again you speak of rewards, I'm not a very consistent writer here and I am definitely not complaining about rewards, I did point out that I earn fairly well based on the efforts I put in, did you miss that part in the post?
No, I'm saying that they should actually be the ones seeking out ways to task the community to build external value structures.
They hold the most tokens, so that would benefit them the most but why aren't there? It makes no sense to me.
Exactly, notice how the narratives here most of the time speaks bad of almost every system out there? Like traditional social media and their monetization and shit?
How many of the whales got rich from being on Hive?
That's right, many did whatever else in the real world and accumulated their wealth. So despite everyone saying those systems are shit and broken, that's where the money actually is, just too centralized then here we are in an ecosystem we could make things more flexible yet we are not applying any of the working solutions.
Then again you say I didn't show respect for what people have been building for years, did you miss my appreciation to those actually putting in the work?
Now let's talk about rewards once more, I happened to have shown more concern over how people doing so much for this space can end up being treated like shit, this was my point with the "$30 analogy" I wasn't talking about myself but taskmaster, just as I mentioned later in the post.
In as much as the small users have work to do, the whales have just as much work - even more, but it seems to be leaning towards those with the weakest of hands(resource wise).
Text they say sometimes does not convey context as should, you read a different meaning to what I wrote here.
If anything, I'm only bothered this stagnation will remain and this space will tend towards more rigidity.
I do not understand why you ending this by saying I should be more careful, this is my opinion and observations expressed, isn't that a right or something around here?
I like to think I'm not the enemy here.
Clearly, I missed that part, my apologies.
I would say this is constantly happening, although not at the speed many would expect. Said that note that whales aren't necessarily 'ambassadors' of the chain, they could be just a random investor who simply likes Hive.
To be fair I guess the narrative is against people who say 'we need decentralized social media' and they choose to keep ignoring Hive. By itself, traditional media isn't bad. It's a bit more about what people actually expect from it.
To be fair not many. But keep in mind that what is being worked on there is still in its foundational phase. I would suggest you think about Hive more like a 'distribution system' rather than a 'Crypto startup that has to succeed'. Solutions are being worked on, but once again, patience is required. Building takes time.
Well, you said literally ''Because the currency of the ecosystem has zero economically sound infrastructure, there's nothing feeding value into it, nothing.''. Sounds harsh, at least.
When you refer to 'those putting in the work'' who you're referring to then? regular users? Devs? Because it sounds like a nothing sandwich. Empty appreciation words if you say in the same post that something on what they worked on has zero sense.
Not to mention you said that 'youtube needs hard work while hive needs asslicking', yeah sure, thanks for your appreciation then, you're welcome.
Ofc, you have all the right to express your opinion and voice your view regarding anything.
What I meant was to 'go easy' because I think you raised some more than valid points but (I think) you then lost your way by expressing yourself in a careless way in which you put the focus of the problem on the people you want to appeal to. This way you will only get your target to ignore you.
Is always good to raise discussion where needed. But respect for both parties is also needed.
Have a good Sunday.
I totally understand, I wasn't very professional in the way I presented my arguments, it's just that I believe the bigger accounts(given that they are big) naturally have an influence that could be used for good.
I see a lot of contests around here, but most of it are internalised, they don't bring any external value, and this is what we should actually channel our energy towards.
Thanks for the time and have a lovely Sunday as well.
