Or like me, rather than whining, one can just get less and less interested in Hive and participating. I love the community, but with all the wild rules, selectively enforced, our numbers stay low and eventually you realize everyone is writing plastic little essays trying not to offend or challenge any of the gate keepers. Perhaps that is one reason Hive never really takes off.
But there are likely other contributing factors as well.
Perhaps ... I used to create content for the Hive blockchain. My last post is over a year old. Like so many others, I am settled there are far better uses of my time ...
Why is that?
By far, the #1 reason is what you have just written here and elsewhere. DPOS provides no effective means of redress for valid grievances. Full stop. Period.
If one views these pros outweighing the cons, then ... again ... Perhaps ... As an investor first, I couldn't see any reasonable person that I have ever known stepping into this "virtual world" and being okay with what they will almost certainly experience at some point. If not personally (as in my case, at least for the most part), then "watching" it destroy others ...
Having always been capable of a far greater stake in HIVE, why would I do that? Why would anyone else do that? 🤷♂️ Whatever the answer, I could no longer make a case it has anything to do with sound investing ...
So ... Many simply "vote with their feet" and leave. Whether the "powers that be" can ever reach consensus on effectively working together to change this remains to be seen.
So far? 🤷♂️😔
I've watched some excellent content creators get a dv and then the drama just pours on and on like fuel on a fire. What I dislike the most is the lack of de-escalation, and the good ole boy orca/trolls who all chime in and defend anything the Hive POlice do.
But I've never liked tons of rules so part of it is my worldview. I don't mind that others disagree with me and have unpopular views, but many can barely take it, but while I still love the community and the idea of Hive, it doesn't pull me like it used to.
🌄 Good morning (here) @whatsup! ☕
FWIW, you are one of the accounts for which I have some regard and respect. Otherwise, I would not have invested any time, to say anything, in response to what you invested your own time in writing on this topic.
IMO, there is still "salvageable" value in the remarkable opportunity Hive offers all of us to have direct contact with others, all over the world. That alone is why I still spend a little time, here and there, reading what others have to say.
And ...
Ever on the ... "look out" ... for the vain (?) hope the "powers that be" wake up ...
I hear you, and I do remember who you are and what you are about.
