RE: Why wouldn't someone join Hive?

in OCD4 years ago (edited)

So far the substance of your criticism towards Hive has been that there's too much circle jerking (large stakeholders giving each other large upvotes in a circle) going on.

I'm not part of any circle jerks with large accounts and I've never been. Yet, I'm quite happy with my earnings because I know I couldn't have earned anywhere near as much on them on any other platform. If I've been able to do it on less than stellar content the kind couldn't have earned anything anywhere else, so can a lot of other people. What's great about this place is that it's perfectly good for the very same activities as any other social media platform while offering the possibility to earn something.

There is a group of people who mined a lot of Steem Power in the beginning many of whom became consensus witnesses. You seem to be saying that I should be horribly envious of these people and harbor a great deal of resentment towards them simply because their early adopter advantage is considerable.

The circle jerk criticism, while not completely unfounded, is not fair since there are curation projects with very large amounts of Hive Power that constantly reward very large numbers of content creators for good content. But you will not find a platform anywhere where the distribution of rewards is considerably less top-heavy than on Hive. YouTube, for example, has made its founders extremely wealthy and only the very top of the content creators there earn much of anything.

If you have the technical skills or know people who do, then I suggest you create a new fork of Hive and airdrop the tokens to whoever you want. Then you can try and get the token listed by major exchanges. That's how you can build a platform tailored to your own liking. Just do it!
