RE: Power up or Power Off?

in LeoFinance5 months ago

First off, thank you! Reading through your post made me realize you're a supporter of Worldmappin, a community I’m always posting in and where I’ve been getting some nice upvotes too.


About your post, it's a hot topic on the platform right now. I’ve already read most of them and checked out many of the comments. It made me realize how urgent this issue is. I don’t usually look at other accounts' wallet activities, so I wasn’t fully aware of this until I saw Azircon’s chart.

Hmm... since joining Ecency’s Guest Curator team, I’ve been focusing about 30% of my upvotes on content, regardless of the user’s wallet activity. The other 70% goes to users who I think are actively building their HP. Personally, I like rewarding users who are growing their accounts... it’s a great way to support the platform and the community overall. A community that cares about Hive and has strong HP holdings makes the blockchain more secure. If a big investor ever tries to dominate, high HP users can push back. That’s why I’m all about supporting users who are building their HP.

As much as I want to vote purely based on content, I prefer to give more attention to users who are also focused on growing their HP because, in the long run, they’ll be supporting a broader part of the community.

Even though my HP is just above the young Dolphin level, my effective HP is at the Orca level thanks to the delegations I receive. So, it’s in my delegators' best interest that I’m careful about where my upvotes go.


Thanks for your insightful post; it really helped me solidify my thoughts on my voting style moving forward.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I think many folks vote largely based on content. I know that is also my normal go to. I've just decided that I'll take a little more time and focus my voting a bit more on those helping to grow the systems vs. just taking. It benefits everyone, including myself.

Given the current state of Hive, it’s rational to support people who are dedicated to growing their accounts. I believe that having more users with Dolphin and Orca-level Hive Power on the platform will be beneficial to the ecosystem.
