The way I came to understand everything is life is there is rarely anything inherently wrong with a platform it’s the people who make it or break it. Blurt booster originally was fine with its parameters but you’ll always get humans wanting to just dodge the system and cream off as much as they can with the least effort humanly possible. Blurt booster would have been fine if ppl used it appropriately and didn’t just copy and paste the same article over and over or just plagiarise from the internet and convert it to another language. People seem to be willing to go to so much effort to game every system, so the platform will never Be the problem it’s always going to be like this till people learn to behave socially.

We certainly don’t need Hivewatchers here …
We surely do not... and this is why talking about this subject (as a community) is the best way forward. Certain projects (built around ideas) can prime the environment with the sort of things that actually cause deeper issues...
Hive Watchers was a response (a very poor one) to the sorts of behaviors that were byproducts of one thing. Putting Financial Capital (gain) before the more important opportunity. Social Capital.
If we want to avoid the miss-steps (and subsequent horrors) we need to be ever mindful and cognizant of HOW we are humaning. Priorities do matter. What order you place those priorities in will either lift or lower what we are attempting to do.
Right now we need all the lift we can get. We don't know what's ahead... but we do know that we need to be well above it for this blockchain to succeed.
Here's the video that got me started (5 years ago) thinking/learning about Social Capital. Since then I have heard other very reputable people talk about this form of Capital as well... and it's interesting to note... there are so many different forms of capital! Curtis does such a good job of explaining each of them... I know your going to get a lot from his presentation @offgridlife! (After all... he is a man that ascribes to both your and my aspirations. Being off grid!)
I would be very interested to hear your thoughts once you have listened to this video. 🙌

What your referring to is the attitude where Financial Capital trumps Social Capital as someone's value set. Commodification of Social Capital or Financial Capital at the expense of Social Capital is always a slippery slope. Similar minded people gather in places that have values out of alignment with what's actually important. This is what I call the "Smash and Grab Mentality" and it repeatedly destroys projects... especially social ones. It also undermines trust... and causes plenty of infighting. (Those are the byproducts and signs that the order of things is disjointed within the community. Maybe not all... but definitely some!) And, by the way, these are the draw downs you just can't market and sell to anyone.
We have all seen this... But there is a way around it. I believe that solution is about laying a cultural foundation where Social Capital comes before Financial Capital. (Not to say that value doesn't flow... because it does... so long as people are treating people right on the blockchain!)
Thanks for the comment Mag! I really appreciate that you (and everyone else!) took the time to discuss this. Just thinking about it is going to move us all forward. I'm confident of that! 🙌
