RE: For those who are confused over the payouts on Hive.

in #hive3 years ago

Ask yourself: "Out of my own pocket, how much would I personally pay someone else for this same article I am publishing?"

Let us be honest. Most of us would not pay nothing. Fortunately/Luckily we do not have to pay out of our own pockets, when we reward others on the Hive blockchain.

Sort:  

That is exactly why it is so difficult for many to see the reasoning behind the downvote. Because voting seemingly doesn't cost us anything (it actually does*), we easily lose the healthy appreciation for honest work.

* The reason I don't think voting is free, is because we are currently doing, or have either done much of the work to cumulate our own voting power, or invested in it, or both.
