Like I said everyone chooses who they vote for on their own principles. Isn’t that ok? I personally do not vote for anyone who’s a witness elsewhere especially hive who has to me terrible morals as a platform. We already had some incident with taking advice from hive watchers if I remember.
Hive is fine as a platform technology wise, it’s (some) people that steer it that leave the gaping moral gap, not all of Hive is bad, not all is good. Blurt is mean’t to be good but we have a whale problem too.
You know full well a lot of the whales at hive would love to see blurt sink and would actively find a way to do it if they could easily. They already did theIr best to sabotage vyb because it has no downvotes. To me it’s a big conflict of interests. Like I said my opinion is just that my opinion doesn’t mean everyone thinks the same.
I don’t rly understand how peoples morals allow them to witness on both as if someone doesn’t like the downvoting thing they tend to support the blurt platform but it people like the downvoting system and being able to trash people to 0 for no real reason they like hive. It’s hard to sort or understand how someone can stand for and represent both those cultures and work towards them simultaneously to me.
I mean wasn’t blurt started as a direct option for those who are not happy with how hive is ran and born from discontent. I just don’t rly understand how someone can simultaneously work on both and support them forwards down the same path.
Think of it as running as an opposing candidate, my witness is there if people ever want to vote for a different ethos. I'm not like UPVU who forces Steem witnesses to abandon Blurt, I encourage people to build bridges everywhere, Hive will only improve if good people dilute the bad, not if they all run away. That being said, besides dlease still running on Hive, I don't have any other business interests there.
Lots of the nefarious accounts on hive were started before everyone else even got a chance to register for the site. It’s too engrained. It would take some kind of miracle like Elon musk buying it out to change the system and even then they would just fork a new site lol
Hive isn’t needed all those ppl have options with almost the same tech elsewhere now. People keep funding a corrupt site that’s corrupt to its core because yeah sure it’s money. It would be so easy for me to run a cartoon character account with photography and get a good daily income but morally I can’t
Support a site ran on such values. The thing with being a witness on both is you have to work with these ppl and what if making a decision on one would directly impact the other site. How can one have totallt clean values. Like if you were an M.D. of both renewable energy and oil that’s a conflict of interest that at some point will come up. As an M.D. of oil can you rly be running ads about how everyone should switch to renewable and other sources are destroying the world? When doing so your literally ruining your other project. It’s alnost impossible to purely represent two opposing values simultaneously imo
You don’t need Elon, when I’m a billionaire I’ll be back to liberate Hive.
Ok let me know when it’s done. 😅
Will do!
But even if true they will just fork off again lol which I do actuallt see coming in my tarot cards :)
