Introducing Myself.

#helloworld. My name is [redacted]. I am a hive user, as well as several other crypto sites/projects like Publish0x, opensea etc. Also a big fan of Wax nfts. I blog often and I am also learning [very slowly] to code. I am also very interested in making assets in unity, blender etc and learning about game creation.

If I say too much more, someone could guess who I am.

I managed to make a free anonymous account on BLURT. It took a big of arm twisting, which I feel bad about, but the BLURT team was trying to deny me because I used a new discord account. I thought this was silly, and used my powers of persuasion and jedi mind tricks to obtain a free account. Hopefully I was not too acid tongued and I thanked them profusely.

Before I start rambling too much about myself, let's go over the purpose of me creating this account. [If you like my purpose you can subscribe, if not you can suck my lolly because there are no downvotes!] I actually was on steem, so technically I have an account already but I wanted an anonymous alt. Here is why:

On Hive I self censor myself often.

Not just about about whales, the proposal system and stuff like that, but about politics [and my right not to be political even]. Also about the world in general, health and wellness etc. I left youtube around 5 years ago because Hive was basically pushed as a freedom platform. [Talk about a fucked up turning of the tables].

Will BLURT be any better? I really have no idea. The fact there are no downvotes is enough to try it out. It is still a DPOS system though so ... I hope BLURT will be careful not to set up a bunch of [in my opinion] systems that will enrich the top percent, fuck over the everyman and not mass adopt.

Sure, there are more tools and dapps for HIVE. But, what is the point if it's run by angry tyrants. And have no question, downvoting IS their tool of reign. What is the point of blogging if you can't blog about what you want?! Okay if your blog is an ACTUAL call to action or plagerization, you should probably be banned or limited somehow. But if you aren't doing that, why get attacked for your opinions? And not just verbally attacked, but downvoted WHICH IS A FORM OF CENSORSHIP. Everyone who isn't on Hive knows and believes that demonetization is censorship.

Choices are difficult in life. HIVE clearly has better tech etc. But, the really fucked reward pool abuse could mean BLURT is more sustainable long term. Most of the BLURT abuse seems to be in the form of spamming, not large whale accounts running proposals and things like this. [BLURT does have a proposal system though].

Maybe I will explore BLURT and decide THIS will be my new home to blog from. It certainly feels freer. I crave intellectual freedom. I know that sounds cliche. I also have this need to rant. I make lots of professional type write ups and other long form stuff, but I also like a good freewrite.

In conclusion Hive whales can get fucked. I honestly believe this: that every major [HIVE] fork has had some element that helps the rich get richer. Rc, increased curation rewards etc. Not to mention the purposeful over-abuse of flagging to monopolize the reward pool. Shame on them. Not to mention the monopolized Proposal system/DAO. Also HBD which takes up a HUGE percent of the reward pool.

I could go on.

It's also suspect how HIVE devs shit on BLURT right away, even before the paywalls. That alone makes me want to join. 🤣👍

P.S I might also post some #photography, #artwork etc. I see some great creative content on BLURT. [Another thing hive whales flag for no reason and rarely support. Marky for example flags artists that use Steem. But, lets not start another rant in the post script]. Are you still reading this ... ?
