Tossing aside the fact layed above, it still serves as a means to grab a portion they can't have. Eventually they top hotdogs here will have to power down and join the small fish and I do hope this changes the power structure in yhe chain. As for the blurt community, we need to find or create another UI provider. The original provider adnitted they didn't want to be it when they started blurt. After two years, blurt had nothkng to show for it. And the originals are still here. We now are entering year 4 since the HF, and have still nothjng to show for it and are tgus at the mercy of the foundation.
Edit: i left out to answer your question
I presume it has something to do with you declining payout on this post..?
No clue but they are back and have been voted on all my posts. Thanks for that. It don't seem that they are even remotely giving a counter-argument for their stance. I wasn't for the Bbooster idea, but rather for them to return what they took in a nefarious way. Instead b.booster was born.
I'll stake up what they give out no problem if that means less for them long term. I'll have no problem allocating those votes where I see more fit to be. Surely not without error. I'm sure I'll make some along the way.
Nobody has ever tried to promote blurt in a serious way but me to my understanding with my hive cabal series and then redirection to Blurt, which garnered massive attention across all three platforms. I pulled 10's of thousand of dollars and multiple investors to blurt, then the momentum stalled. Sorry I can't work full time for a loss 15k.
Just make note of the system. This is not a traditional business, this is a split from a decentralized blockchain. Anyone, with the will and know how can take the bull by the horns and change things here for everyone. I'm just busy with my own highly successful project that have zero chance of getting derailed by creepers behind a keyboard that I have no clue about in advance. That's the problem with all these blockchains, any moron or worse can join the "team" and things are out of your control, and off in a direction of failure. Anyway, love your content. Keep up the great work.
Also, pointing fingers, playing victim, and complaining why others have not lifted us up instead taking maters in your own hands....is a very libtard stance in my humble opinion; especially since founders taking a controlling stake is the norm across most of the top 100 cryptos at the moment.
Imo, Blurt is still better than hive. I find unappealing now and almost a waste of time to even publish there. I still read a handful from a handful there from time to time.
I haven't forgotten your dedication to blurt either and what you have done to do that.
This platform still has many aspects to improve on and if they do, I do think that will increase the chances of serious growth, probably sooner than later.
I'm not a tech savvy individual with coding skills either nor have the initiative to do that, I have other incentives like spreading existing alternative ideas that on small scale, has proven to work for the future that could greatly benefit mankind without the need for rule by force.
Playing victim? Talking to me? Lol.
I don't know where I am playing victim, only stating facts and what I think could be done.
Personally, as I have said it before, the coin needs more distribution, more investors, more committed individuals with the skillset to create dapps for blurt. A video game on blurt would attract many I'm sure. Another UI provider and better and more powerful frontends like peakd. An easier to use interface for setting up vote trails by anyone for anyone they choose (better than delegations imo) and much more that I can't think of at this moment.
That controlling stake will eventually dwindle. And will spread out or concentrate in other hands. Curious to see how that will turn out.
More power to you. Creepers will creep and they will try. Prepare for the worst case scenario either way. And have fun doing it.
Cheers brother.
Thanks for the very well received message. I agree on all fronts.... but instead of following in the footsteps of the other platforms and shoot for games and frivolous entertainment; I believe ALL the top trending posts should ALL be alternative media type content. In today's world censorship-proof decentralized communication = $$$$. Blurt has the potential to go to the moon, if managed and marketed correctly.
How is what goes into trending calculated exactly? Does it vary on the different frontends?
Not sure exactly. Maybe @saboin can answer this for you.
I personally don't see the frontend as that important..
We have 3 frontends:
https://blurt.blog
http://beblurt.com (nice optics AND communities!) and
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org
Which I think is quite a good score if you ask me...
IMO all we need is one big crypto exchange listing us to get the price going!
Sadly, I have no connections in the crypto space whatsoever...
Just ONE listing on Binance, Gate.io, Coinbase Exchange, eToro or crypto.com would be our absolute breakthrough...
In February 2024, I will attend 'CATALYST' in Lisbon.

Maybe I can get a hold of somebody from a big exchange..? Who knows?
Cheers and have a lovely day! 🙏🌞
