Hive User Not Going to Say A Bad Word About Hive Ever Again After Receiving $50 in Rewards for Post Praising Annual Blockchain Event

Source

_{The below character is fictional. I swear to god.}
A hive user spent the weekend in full ponder mode where he thought long and hard about his life choices and his long term Hive goals. Long time Hive stalwart Hive account@banshee who cares about the blockchain and only wants the best for it had to turn off the TV and any other sound on devices in his house to have a good old think to himself.

The normal posts he published would criticise elements of the blockchain. They were good solid posts and they made some good points but they received disappointing rewards. On the other hand when he praised some of the great works that were currently happening on the blockchain he received plentiful rewards and there were users coming from all sides to give him an upvote. Even Hive account@haejin had gave him an upvote and Hive account@haejin had been his hero in times long gone since he posted a chart and the token ended up mooning and Hive account@banshee had taken his advice and made a bucket load of money.

"Hmmmmmmm" thought banshee to himself.
"Criticism" = "Little rewards"
"Praise" = " Lots of rewards!"

Hive account@banshee went out to the kitchen and got a bag of apples to put it all into context. He spent the next half and hour with 6 apples in one hand and 1 in the other. He jotted down a couple of notes , nodded and said "ummmhuh" and took more notes.

After the apples exercise he came to the conclusion that good posts are positive for praising the blockchain and bad posts are bad for criticising the blockchain. He took the pen again and wrote this in his notes with his tongue hanging loosely to the side of his mouth. He loved to solve equations so he wrote his issue in a simple algebra equation

10 criticism posts = 1 praising post
1 praising post equals less hours typing and researching.

10cp = 1pp
10cp =6h
1pp= 1h

therefore 1pp > 6cp
Chosse 1cp

Then came the Eureka moment.

"I have been so stupid this past year"
What is the point of doing disruptive post when I can just do constructive posts.

"No more posts criticising the carrying on on the blockchain."

"I need to draft up more posts about complementing things instead of slagging them off"
Hive account@banshee was like a man possessed.
But I can't. Arrrghhhhh. This is so hard. I'm a grumpy old man. Arrghhh.
Irish people can't give or take compliments due to decades of Catholic guilt!! _{Hive account@banshee is Irish}

BUT I MUST TRY

Hive account@banshee got the apples out again to re-enforce his last theory.
OK OK Complement.

Hive account@banshee was not ready for another complimentary post because it was too soon since his last one so he decided to curate to test his new methods.

Lets start as a means to go on. Ok lets comment on the next post that appears on my timeline.

The Ladies of Hive MeetUp in Breda Netherlands.
Ok lets leave a comment. This will be an easy one. Remember , remember , praise results in many apples.

Ok Hive account@banshee, you got this.

Comment :
Hello ladies, have fun in your meetup in Breda.

Dam that's not complimentary enough. More complements. more complements. End goal Hive account@banshee end goal.

Edit Comment
You ........................

bottom...... Ann!!!

There we go. A nice complement. Ann will love that. She's a classic feminist. Let's wait for the reply but move onto the next one.

Ok what's the next post.
The Leo lads in their usual attire doing their usual weekly video where it looks like they are on a galactic cruiser. They are migrating over to Thorchain. Leaving Hive. Wow. This is terrible for Hive. How could they?!?!? No wait Hive account@banshee. Give them compliments. Change your ways!!! YOU MUST!!

Ok Ok nice post.
Comment
Well done lads. Myself and Hive are very proud of you for all your recent achievements. We are so glad you have spread your wins. The DHF funding was worth every penny.

They will be chuffed at this. I might even get a couple of upvotes from the Hive whales.

Oh great a reply from Ladies of Hive.

Reply:
"I'm sorry? What did you just say!?!?!?!?!

Oh darn it. Diversity and Inclusion and all that.

Reply
Sorry ..... Ann .... I ..... meant .... to .......say .... you ...... all ......have .....lovely...... bottoms.

Great, the rest of the ladies will be chuffed now. Phew , that was a close one.

Right who is next up?
Mourag from the Shadowhunters.Good ol Mourag. You can set your watch by her. A Shadowhunt every Thursday at 3pm. A Competition I see.
"Who can make the kinkiest looking shadow?"
These Shadow Hunters are gettiing raunchier with their old age. Frank has the shadow of two hills that resembles cleavage. Jimmy had a classic cock and balls shadow of a bridge.
Mourag what is that shadow? A rabbit ??? Mourag is a bit doddery these days being 87 and all. She didn't get the brief.

Good try Mourag. Best handsign of the lot. But I think you are in the wrong contest this week. The animal shadow competition was last week!!

Good old Mourag, not long left.

Oh I got a reply already. A wink emojii.
That's Ok we move on.

OK OK onto the rally driver.
Oh no, the car is in a ditch again. Rear axle bent.
Came last again. Dam it. How can I complement him. This will be difficult!

Comment
It's the taking part that counts. And remember you are doing what you love and the Community are footing the bill for it so crash as much as you want. No pressure. Some day you will show them all and win the 10,000 euro 1st prize for winning your race class in the WRC. And if you are really lucky you will win another €10,000, for best overall time.

Good he will love that. I kind of like being nice now. Hmmmm a downvote from the ladies of Hive. That's strange. I never got a downvote for being critical.

Reply by from ladies of hive
chauvinist pig

Another downvote from the rally car driver.

Why did you have to reveal the price money???? There will be alot more heat on me now!!!. You bastard!!!

Bloody hell thought Hive account@banshee.
You can't do wrong from doing right. That is 2 downvotes due to praise posts so far. And 2 more downvotes have just come in from Hive whales on my Leo praise comment. What in the hell?!?

Dam Hive account@banshee you were better off being critical. Praising people is tough going.

I'm just gonna go back to being the old Hive account@banshee and have a bee in my bonnet around the DHF overspending. The people I target have bearly any HP and don't reply anyway. Best just keep doing this. It turns out it does cost something for being nice. Hive account@banshee threw the apples away in anger at the 5 downvotes he saw before him.

He could not do this long term. It would be to stressful for him. Hive account@banshee pulled out marky's big tool again and started looking at how Hive could give 100k for a tiddlywinks contest in Syria to Hive account@mastertiddly who had 15HP. A wave of calm came over him as he started researching the mastertiddly's wallet. He cupped his fingers and gave them a stretch and started typing. This is more like it,
