That scenario must be prevented by sending Ukraine sophisticated air defense systems and training Ukrainian users and logistics people to operate them. Mordor has only so many functioning aircraft it can

That is a very good description. Because it's a new kind of thing, people tend to get confused and confused people get scared and start calling it Ponzi scheme, a fraud and whatnot. But I think the crucial

I see content creators sharing links to their own followings, which is fine if their following doesn't mind being spammed, but the proper way is make sharing across other networks appealing and easy to

"Valueless crap." How many markets do you want create? Horse owners said there was no value in a car. People said nobody would buy bottle water. If something supposedly has no value, put a value

It's a win for everyone but if that effort to attract thousands just gets downvoted because "too much", we'd never be able to attract another one who then attracts thousands more. You're talking

I don't have much to add to the rest of your comment but I'd like to say something about this. If someone is helping fix my problem, someone else down the line is earning less. That's not cool. Downvoting

People still use them as a weapon, scare tactic, bullying. Anti-social behavior on a social network will be difficult to normalize. I believe in honest curation. I fully agree and I do not condone such

The thing is that the downvoting mechanism obviates the need for throwing a fit. One can just downvote.

The reward pool is a common. Stakeholders can use their vote to express an opinion about whether a post is currently under-rewarded or over-rewarded. That should be normalized. The highly-rewarded people

Abusive downvoting is a thing, though. But not in this case. The author is still doing quite well for herself. These selfies are worth clearly more than zero although not quite the $20. Abusive downvoting

I encourage you to continue posting your selfies as you do look very nice. :) But please don't mind if other users downvote those posts of yours they consider over-rewarded. You're still doing quite well

I have bought my entire stake and have curated here for quite some time.

Disagreement over rewards has been one of the canonical reasons for downvoting from the very beginning. There's nothing wrong with that. Having 20% of one's relatively large pending rewards removed should

I came here to to downvote, which I did. When I saw your ridiculous comment, I wanted to tell you how stupid it was.

What are you on about? Do you really think earning > 10 USD for posting a single selfie despite a bunch of low-value downvotes worth not much more than 1 USD in total is scary?

And every stakeholder makes that judgement on their own behalf. Stop being a bitch about your GF losing a fraction of her very large rewards on a string of objectively low-effort posts.

You should consider dividing your stake across a number of small accounts you don't use for posting. That way you can downvote whoever you want without any fear of retaliatory downvotes. You can use that

The selfies are fine. Just not worth $20. This particular post that does nothing but complain about downvotes most definitely is not worth $25.

Bullshit. This has got nothing to do with what type of content is welcome here. What this has to do with is rewards stakeholders think are misallocated being redirected. Despite the current downvotes,

with this kind of mentality, HIVE will never be a network for the masses... only a niche place for long form content creators / bloggers. I personally think it’s time to welcome the short form content.
