RE: Clarification and Questions Answered about My Proposal in Response to a Post by Belemo

I’m working hard for Hive, the only negativity I see is from a select few who seem to have a problem with anyone getting any sort of payment, unless it’s rewards on a post to those they like.

I’ve listened to critique and have made additional efforts and will continue, but quite frankly the “everything you do sucks” with no actual suggestions or effort to help in any manner is a little old.

If you don’t agree with it, I fully respect that, but to say the community didn’t have a choice is absurd. The community has a choice and they are making it. I have had many messages of support that out number the few voices of rage.. so I think you’re over stating how “the community” is responding.

I didn’t see anyone who is loudly criticizing all those seeking compensation jumping up to work day and night for Hive. I didn’t see them offer to assist, pay for giveaways, give accounts away, organize anything or do anything else needed to launch a new project like hive.

I’m not entirely sure what the issue is and why many are only focusing on one aspect that seems more personal than anything else.

I think my fee is fair, I doubt it will be paid out in full.. but here I am continuing to fight for the community that chooses to shit on me any chance they get.

So please, please let me know how I can make you feel better about my work. But if you are just going to tell me I’m “dividing a community” or “making things negative” than perhaps you need more to do.. as it seems you are set and determined to just find something to throw a fit about.

Hive is not fair, nothing is fair and this is a DPOS system.. which isn’t “fair” either.. so I’m not sure what you want there.

What I find really, truly unfair is that many here seem to praise a shit posting author and their ability to pull over $20k out of the platform.. but how fucking dare someone work for Hive rather than themselves and then ask for compensation after they have shown a bit of success in doing the work and an effort to continue working for those successes for the community.. that’s not fair. Just upvote shit posts and make them huh? Sorry but I think Hive deserves better, I’m sorry if you don’t agree.

I’ve read quite a lot critics from various people in different posts about this proposal, so it’s definitely not “a few voices”. You are again underestimating, just like when you underestimated the community factor in listings, articles etc.

You already have some big whales votes, so there is really not much a regular plankton/minnow/dolphin can do about this proposal. And this is really not good. Something needs to be changed about this proposal system.

I really have nothing personal against you, I just share my opinion about this. I do think you did a good job, and you should be rewarded. But I just dont agree with the way you have done it, and I think the amount is out of proportion:

asking for things you have done in the past, without noticing/letting know that you expect being paid. Your argument “want to be paid after I have shown value” doesnt make any sense.
the fact that you valued past work yourself. If you come up with a price for future work, that would be something to consider for the community. But now you’ve put a price, and dont want to do anything about it.
that you said you wanted to create this proposal instead of getting high rewards for your posts. So it’s one way or the other, but you WILL get it?

For the last time...
Thank you for all the work you have done and will do. I appreciate your hard work and your achievements.

But I’d prefer knowing beforehand what we are up against instead of this whole thing coming as a surprise afterwards.

If you can organize, estimate things better in your future proposals, keeping in mind the lessons learned from this one, there is no reason for me not to support.
