No dude. Not shallow at all. I was watching your video, upvoted, then you said there's no free speech on Hive, so obviously I'm not interested in supporting that message, so I removed my vote and learned a lesson. 'Finish consuming before voting.'

And if a group forms and only wants to support food posts, that's because they're interested in food posts, and want to support them. This is normal. You can't force a Dodge lover to buy Ford trucks.

If you actually learned something from anything I said, you'd not be focused on what other curators want to support or how they feel, you'd be trying to attract those who share the same values. People are under no obligation to support things they don't like. Content creators should not be expecting to earn just for showing up. Even in your video you mentioned how you'll start a community then "hopefully some whales vote for it", which tells me you didn't understand what I was talking about, or I failed to communicate clearly. Either way, your success is not up to anyone else but you. It's not a failure if 'whales' don't support it. A whale is just one human. No different than a minnow. These labels are meaningless. What I was telling you is you're free to act and bring in support. If someone here doesn't support something, that means there's no interest, but we're not living inside of a bubble here, and people are free to bring support with them. Wrote a post yesterday talking about some of this.

It's not shallow to tell someone being arrogant and obnoxious to shove it up their ass. They need that honesty in their lives. Without it they stand no chance of improving.

Been told by several notable curators in the past and recently...

Several? Name them. I'd rather hear the specifics rather than seeing everyone get thrown under the bus just because someone out there sees things differently or disagrees with you.
