The Hive discrepancy
Some (from my point of view seen) Hive fanatics recently have opened their attack on a dApp build on top of the Hive blockchain. Because the Hive blockchain is only ment to be for media purposes, or whatever. Oh my goodness me! Get the fog of yer high horse! So, what is that adult thing build on Hive then? At least they put an effort in their content, right...!? Now, I do not have an issue with that dApp build on top of Hive, at all. Neither that part of the reward pool is going towards that area of the nether regions. Nor any other Tribe that I do not have any affiliation with. Like those animals that are being traded and yielded, I do not even get it, neither do I want to. But hey, everybody their own thing! Who am I to judge, right? Live and let live. Hooray for Agora!
You want to collect virtual stamps of mountain lions, stack them to get monkey NFTs? Hey, go for it, it might make you many banksters money at some point. At least that is what temporarily has moved me away from the Hive trending page. Still some stuff I upvote, story writers that I appreciate (like Meester BOOM), might not be your thing though. Innuendo, excrementing stuff from bodies, talk about beer, men are from Mars, women came from Venus (glad they did come here), that kind of thing. Or having a good laugh with Smassh, in a world were a lot of fellow humanoids have gone more or less totally bonkers. That can be a comic relief. You know, a reality where shit is still shit and having it off is still having it off, that kind of comforting feeling. And again, your high minded principals do not have to agree with mine, at all. Yet, if you do not like it, move on! That is what I do.
Hive is a Media and App Platform {MAP}
Yes, I am, in favor of dApps like d.Buzz, instead of using Twitter and keep promoting the data-mining big tech. The irony in there actually makes me laugh. But hey, if you believe in it, keep doing what you do. It is just something that disagrees with my stomach. And I will not waste any down vote on it. Hardly ever will I use my down votes for anything. As I might be down voting a lot of the same DeFi stuff on trending. But that is just my opinion. And I am fully aware of that. As there is a related Tribe to that build on top of the Hive blockchain that is being used a lot. And this inspires others to write about it. There are consumers for that. And you know what? Even when I can act like a cynical grumpy bastard of a total wanker, you should really give a damn fog about it! And yeah, I think dBuzz is awesome, do not like it? Well, then go to a place where you do feel at home! The Hive realm is huge. There is something to the liking of everybody.
dApps like dBuzz attract consumers (as No Names Left To Use calls 'em lot). They might become a Hive blockchain registered member, maybe even without knowing it. They's just on Buzz. Doing their 140 character thing, which will become even longer soon. Storing images on IPFS, now who still is using AWS then, aye? Links to GIFs that do not take almost any blockchain space at all. Why do some even still promote their long article on Twitter and not on d.Buzz? Different audiences, different group of possible consumers. And instead of making money for big tech selling their data they could earn something becoming an active Hive blockchain member! So, yes, do be alert on phishing shit really SPAMMING the place down. But please stop acting like a bunch of Hive fanatics. Hive is not 'just' a blog. There is a blog dApp, with a web address to match. Underneath it all is a blockchain that has a lot of potential, to grow in the vertical direction and horizontally.
A few lines of text, with an image stored on IPFS and a maximum HIVE payout that is the equivalence of 1 dollar. That s not going to drain the swamp. What it does is create usage for the HIVE blockchain. And thus it adds value! The more it will get used, the more it will attract attention, the more new members will come in. d.Buzz is fast, just like the 3 second block speed of HIVE. If some people want Hive to be only for the selected few, then it will be, mark these words. As I know projects like d.Buzz and many others could just as easy run on any other blockchain out there. Or even run on their own separate one. And I think we have been there before. So we have to critically watch what those who think they are the ultimate Hive purgers are doing. And when needed ask them to step down. No matter how much Hive Power they have gathered, as the last thing I want to see happen on Hive is the Sun going down on it again. (As a figure of speech.)
23rd of march 2021 happy fifth som'in day! Ste..., eurm Hive!
