Those who know me, know that I was very active on Steem before the corruption started - then I tried to fight for it as long as there was a smidgen of hope that it could recover to the old ideals - it didn't - shitposts and rewardsraping became the norm - I and many other artists in the community left one by one disillusioned and deeply saddened -
Then my friend told me about hive how it was trying to make real the promises that steem had broken. So I came back to crypto blogging hopeful and in a good mood - I really was hopeful then I find out that
attacked Nick on twitter for promoting the platform! yup you heard me right - Nick who has brought so many of us back to this forum was attacked because sirwhalalot aka anomadsoul did not like nicks wording -
anomadsoul complained that nick was promoting the platform as further revenue atream for musicians he felt that nick wanted to rape the rewards pool and was disrespecting the platform ! Nick who busts his tuccus to promote it and bring in quality people not shitposters !
The thing is people come to alternative platforms for all kinds of reasons - but they stay for mostly 2 - it is lucrative and the community is great - nick's post was perfect for drawing in people of quality from the music scene as many of us are sick of how we are bled out by mainstream music platforms. To attack him like that just sucked - and what makes it even more ridiculous is that this dude is actually advertising for shit posters to come to the platform on his pinned twitter post WTF!!!
So here we go again whales promoting shitposts and the people who upload quality are being bullied away ?
I am asking all the other whales and witnesses is this what you want ? I am asking the community is this what you want happening on hive ? If yes is your answer then I want no part in this - i want better - i am willing to give my all to provide better but I deserve a platform that respects the people who put their heartblood into it !
nuff said !
