You are like talking to a brick wall. Fuck blogging! I'm talking rewarding consumers and you guys are saying we shouldn't be promoting rewarding consumers.

Screw us bloggers for a second. What about rewarding the gamers and other types of consumers? That is what I am talking about. That is what he meant for the focus to be about. He just focused on blogs because that is what he sees as a new user. The general intent of the post was to get those consumers in the door. What you and others are saying is that people like me tell people that if they engage (NOT CREATE OR BLOG) on my content, they can get paid, or whatever is killing Hive and are bad people.

I have been doing exactly this internally within Hive as an experiment using my own Hive from my wallet, and it has worked. I get real engagement now. Real comments! Not just fly-by auto-curated votes. Real eyeballs on content. Real eyeballs on the game, the app, whatever you want to call it. So why is it so bad that I would do the same thing using HP?

Also, I noticed you sidestepped my comment about the DHF scheme. Let's not even talk about how nathanmars got shat on after all the work he did ahead of his proposal while that shit is allowed...
