RE: Curator Cat Considers: But Did You Put Any EFFORT Into It?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Aside from the proverbial "oh, it's too complicated" excuse, another thing I have heard a few times is that it's just too much work, too much effort.
Well, what did you expect?
So much... this! I stopped trying to get my friends to join in Hive; still trying to tell everyone it exists, but I also tell them exactly what your post is about: if you're not going to show up, take 7 months to do an intro post, and not going to take your time to interact with the community... no point in expecting anything! !BEER

Just stop with the nonsense. Please do tell us how posting pictures of people in various poses, mostly young women, with maybe a sentence or two attached is hard work that gets upvoted for dollars compared to people who do put in the time to actually write something and maybe you might get ten cents.
This place is so full of baloney that even if you like to eat baloney the baloney around here is spoiled. Look, if people have to go on discord and spend time talking to people about whatever just to get a upvote than that defeats the whole purpose, and might I add, takes time away from actually reading what people write and voting it. You are suppose to get rewarded for contributing to the platform, I didn't see anything in the rules about having to go join a discussion off board.
Most times when you do join a community the first time you post you get a pretty hefty sum in comparison to what you were normally getting. Like say five, six bucks, you say to yourself that that's more like it and you continue to write under that tag...but you will never see another five, six bucks headed your way.....but what you will see, if you check, people who write stuff that doesn't even come close to what you wrote at times and they continually get large upvotes. If it were up to me I'd be thinking someone padding their own pockets multiple times and that's why the platform doesn't grow.
But whatever, same day, different bull crap, no decentralization going on here but you can always come back and find what you put out there, which is about the only bonus being on this site has.
I came to this platform without any reference, I'm not friend of any whale, nor do I belong to a self voting circle; yet, I´m close to reaching 10k Hive, and I've seen over and over again good content from new users and old users getting rewarded.
You are not entitled to anything when posting; you are supposed to SHARE content, whatever comes in your way after that is a bonus. Again and again I see that same mentality on and off chain: it's not what I have, it's what this and that have and I don't have equal because X.
Just my two cents.
What I meant is to actually put in the time reading and interacting with post. I may have reworded it wrong but that's the extent of it. If people like a comment or a post THAT'S how you get rewarded not just automatic circle jerking, sock puppets upvoting accounts, self upvoting accounts, and no where was there ever a mention of contributing off block in conversations about who knows what.
I expected your reply because it's the go to reply of just about anyone when you make mention of how it's run rather than how you were told it was run. Seriously you people should just drop that line because no one would ever leave the chain if it ACTUALLY ran as described.
Again, we clearly have very different experiences on the blockchain.
Well, you address one of the great voids/shortcomings of Hive: You have to go somewhere else to have a conversation about Hive and about your content, and to find answers to your questions.
I think if this had all been designed with a resident "Messenger" type system built into the interface, this place would have taken off far more than it has.
The voting system is definitely flawed in some respects, but primarily if your perspective is that this is supposed to be a quality-based meritocracy. It's not. But I also don't think that's a flaw we can lay specifically at Hive's doorstep. If you go on YouTube, Tiktok, IG or somewhere else, the content that gets millions of views and creators with millions of followers are hardly the gold standard for "quality" anything... it's more a reflection that "mindless drivel" is what's being mass consumed in today's world.

And the irony of that is apparently not "too much work" to spend several hours a day posting smileys on meaningless Facebook updates about nostril hair.
