RE: The shift in power, how Proof of Brain (POB) became King of the Hive Engine tokens

It'll be interesting to see how it develops I honestly can't see a real 'focus' to the community atm, other than a general dislike of Hive.
And quite a lot of ego.

What do you mean by general dislike of Hive?

As I understand it a fair few POB enthusiasts have been flagged a bit on Hive and are 'escaping' to POB.
Irony needs a level up to describe this strategy.
I realized this too, they found in POB an escape from punitive measures that they were suffering in HIVE.
If the measures that caused them to be punished in HIVE are also measures that the POB community does not agree with, they will be eternal nomads. But if it's a governance problem, I think it will work as a citizen who moves from one country to another because he doesn't agree with a certain type of way of governing.
I may be being naive, but I'm still in the ask-before-shoot policy. (Obviously when the offender doesn't have a weapon, haha)

I wouldnt want to post if i was getting flagged every post, PoB is an alternate to get away from that.
I'm not sure where irony comes in. I see posts that are on front page for 90 bucks for likely plagiarized travel blogs or food stuff, then I see others getting downvoted from 50 bucks to 0ed out because one person hates their politics.
If PoB helps get away from centralized powers controlling rewards then that's a win. Hive gets away from centralized social media, but does have a problem with "the wrong politics" getting downvoted
Yes I can understand the desire to switch to a new community entirely.
The irony is that POB is entirely dependent on Hive, so it's no real escape!
Unless POB switched chains, now THAT would be interesting!
Ahh I see.
I suppose as long as the spirit of hive is alive all 2nd layers are safe in terms of not being banned or deleted.
Having 2nd layer for rewards seems to help solve dving on hive, but the 2nd layer can fall into the same thing
DVing didn't happen on LEO for sure, people just held off - there was kind of a silent consensus on not doing it.
The only way to stop yourself being at the mercy of Whales is to Power Up and seek to make a return through curation, no one can take that away.
I can tell you that the average person on POB ISN'T doing that because my vote value keeps going up and I'm only selling about a third of mine on the way up, which means people in general are failing to 'protect their earnings'.
To add to that, one can also make thier own token and community that branches off like LEO/POB did.
It is pretty interesting seeing posts on LEO/PoB make more in terms of USD value than they do on Hive. With dozens or hundreds of communities as active as them we could see a bright future where decentralized communities are where people go who are looking for earning rewards for blogging as the primary reward, and Hive becomming less and less needed for rewards.
I'm sure that was the original idea.
Although with POB I'm not even sure who is behind it so I don't know if I can trust them to do the appropriate development.
Yes. And selfishness and greed. Just like on Hive.
Yup, no difference really! Just more visible because it's a much smaller pond.
