if you give a group of 100 kids a handful of coins they can share to encourage artwork and writing and performances they like, they will choose different things, and some kids will receive bigger tips than others and that's all fine
there is no need to give the kids baseball bats to knock tip jars into the gutter
That's hardly what the fuck is happening, in your twisted reality, Downvoting is synonymous with violence? Fuck off. You are whack if you think there shouldn't be a mechanism for the prisoners dilemma of tipping only yourself, which is fine, but don't pretend that you have any credibility to make comparisons or to draw parallels as you've been reduced to saying that downvoting is Fascist Violence.
knocking tip jars into the gutter is exactly what downvoting does
No its not. They aren't the equivalent of tips because you can tip on hive as on here and you're left with nothing but equivocation, claiming that upvoting is parting with your own money!
your upvote is proportional to your stake
in the exact same way
your dividend is proportional to the number of shares you hold
you can choose to share that dividend with others by voting for their content
but you are not OBLIGATED to share that dividend with others
your upvote is proportional to your stake
The reason for voting is to distribute newly minted tokens to the community.
am i not part of "the community" ?
Are you suggesting you deserve to upvote yourself, because at that point you kinda cease being a part of the community and are isolating yourself.
by holding the token
i am part of "the community"
and contributing to the value for all stakeholders
