There are so many ways these entities manipulate us. One of them just yesterday pressured me to change one of my witness votes because that witness was rewarding me .002 hive a day for my vote, which he objected to. When I changed my vote, he rewarded me by featuring my most recent post. They know not what they do, but we don't have to forgive them.

SHOCKING! "DOWN-VOTE BUTTON" IMPOSED WEAPON OF CHOICE FOR ORGANIZED NETWORK OF CORRUPT POWER BROKERS ON THE HIVE BLOCKCHAIN
I take issue with the use of the word "Reward".
😐
Never forget that they didn't work for their stake either. Their "reward / punishment" mechanism is based on the weight gained from nothing.
They own the mechanism without ever ONCE staking the chain properly.
In short, this leaves them Open to several regulatory investigations into their improper issuances of a Security... But in NO WAY makes them remotely beneficial to the success of the chain. In NO WAY whatsoever. They're parasites of their own inflatable shitcoin ponsi scam.
And for the record I AM speaking about the specific person you are referencing.
I don't know anything about the mechanisms. I know it is possible to have a lovely time on Hive, until you start voicing alternative understandings of certain issues. Then you become open to threats, coercion, and financial attack. For all the behavior modification measures instituted on hive (downvote for instance, upvote curve for another), the unwanted behavior gets concentrated at the top. Just like the rest of the world.
very well said
phenomenal
100%
EXACTLY this is why I call them out, I don't normally go around judging other peoples posts but if you are going to make yourself high and mighty and undo other peoples judgment and upvotes then your posts had sure as hell better be AMAZING, but what do we actually have. One guy who posts twitter screensthots and films himself gaming sometimes, one guy who goes on about being depressed and poor everyday whilst, having enough money in his wallet to probably change his life but likes the control too much and one guy who writes a paragraph of something I can't even understand. These are the people telling you your post is OVER REWARDED and undoing the support others are giving you >! like what the hell. Not one of them could earn any commercial value from their posts outside these platforms, I would actually put money on that tbh and they are downvoting people with real talent, even many of the conspiracy posts are very well written and full of research and time.
See now? Isn't this better than Discord?
Thank you for sharing your recent experience. It would mean a lot to me if you decided to post this on hive where it's far more visible and easily seen by people who most need to see it.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
I'm a scaredy cat! I have my followers and friends there and would like to protect those relationships. If I start getting downvoted heavily, I lose all that. There is a lot of good there!
I'm sorry you encountered such problems.
I am aware of those problems, and am becoming more aware of how insidious the control issues are. I hope that conversations with the controllers will ameliorate their controlling bents. I have had some productive conversations with the person involved in this specific case. He actually did stop downvoting an account that had great value to me. I like to think he heard me.
I totally understand. I thank you for commenting here. For me, it's beyond over with Hive. I don't want to be associated with a social media platform knowing what I know. Just wait for next drop and you'll see what I mean. Have a great day and thank you for your support.
That’s why I stayed quiet but you will feel better when you pull the plug and let go of the fear, it took me a while but by staying we are funding them to continue.
All healthy things change, are in flux. All spaces can be brought closer to a state of health. I'm one of the ever hopeful! I'm not exactly staying quiet, but I'm not being combative - I don't know enough. To oppose something bad can support it. All the anti-Russian sentiment is fueling war in eastern Europe now.
it's each to their own but I found to stay on that platform you had to be either careful what you said/ try to stay under a radar/ not be able to support those you care about getting bullied which, just makes a very toxic environment and inability to be authentic and make authentic connections. If ppl can still do that there then it's ok for them. I felt the same as you for a few years thinking I could just go under the radar enough to enjoy elements of it b ut eventually it becomes too much it might be for you at some point or maybe not time will tell.
Almost everything I post there is based on my feelings on the covid con, and other cons, even and maybe especially my freewrites. I am no longer in-your-face about my views after I started getting downvoted, yes. But I am still heard there, and have quite a few loyal followers who support my views as well as my posts. I'm very happy to have come here, where I can be totally open in my views. I only follow people who share my views here, and have learned a tremendous amount! Maybe if I had not found Blurt I would have left the other. I did leave steem and brought all my earnings there here.
personally I never posted anything about covid or any world affairs just art / etc it can be toxic there for many reasons. Anyway I would never push someone else to live their life the same way I do but I realised how much fear that platform held over me with an invisible net of just getting breadcrumbs as soon as I kicked it to the curb for good I felt completely free and amazing. I didn't really agree with @practicalthought before but now I do, it took leaving to see how we are just funding that handful of people to get rich just by posting there and engaging. It would be ok if it was a small group of people but they are the people that forked the platform and essentially run it, whilst pretending it's decentralised. But like I said each to their own with. it everyone should be allowed to do as they feel. I like steemit personally, the wox community is really nice, I never had an issue with steemit and felt free there after the hive cabal left.
That's a good point, that I am working to further enrich some whales, just like most of us in the world. Hive purports to be different, but is not. hm
They are obsessed with blurt anyways and read all these
