Wow....Can't believe all this was going on with me not having a clue for years. I avoided any kind of drama like the plague on there and never really broke above the pay grade until the price went to a dollar. That's when they came after me.
At this moment, I think the energy and momentum is about to go in our favor and with a little push it may go in our favor big time. I just hope we can make the most of it. I'm learning more and more how welcoming and free Blurt is. We can have this level of conversation without any demon creature being nasty verbally, or down voting and destroying our blogs just for speaking our minds.
People have to see your story. You've seen and experienced it all with these monsters.
I really didn't chase it lol I just can't stay silent when I see others getting bullied though or see injustice so I tried to just avoid seeing it and keep really to myself but didn't matter how much I tried to keep my head down I would be good for a few months then I would suddenly get a well paid post or see someone getting taken to 0 for no reason and it would get me all over again. All I really wanted to do was sit post, build and create art. It got to the point just logging on was filled with dread and if I ever got rly high payouts (more recently) of over 100 I would just get a really bad energy about if they would ever reach payout. I used to say this could be someone in a third world country who's medical treatment for their mum could be paid off with this post then someone swipes it a few hours before payment just for kicks. It really got me pissed off. I love it here I don't have to worry and it makes me realise just how toxic hive was. It is pointless saying anything though. I shared my story for the first time in years but all those under the spell just attacked me and said I was being selfish and butt hurt or something and I should be thankful to get any payouts then they 'punished' me and started downvoting me with the comment 'over rewarded' . You can't discuss with these people at all nor the ones still under the spell so I honestly just stay away now and I wouldn't engage on any further posts. They always hide behind stupid cartoon character profiles, but some of the people they got working for them still have online presence. They never ever downvote one another, they never ever use 'over rewarded' with one another and one literally just posts twitter screen shots and gaming videos, that guy I argued with who down voted every single post pretty much I made I don't even know what his short one paragraph posts were even about, one just talks about being depressed and struggling every day despite having tons of hive they could just power down but are too desperate not to give up control. I wouldn't judge their posts if they didn't go around downvoting and calling other peoples 'over rewarded' , then you are going to start having to take some criticism for your own. They make this big thing about Steemit but go check some of their wallets especially acid on steemit you'll see huge delegations and rewards farming of 100s of dollars a day from multiple accounts, go check it. We are not allowed a profile for our pet but they can have 4 each or more. But we are not allowed to make 2 dollars a post on there haha But no I am not going to even log onto hive when I decided to leave I just never logged in again, cause it won't end in discussion or change all that will happen is a bunch of down voting and arguing, I would rather just focus on here. Lots of people have spoken out on this already and people either dig their head in the sand or kind of ignore it because they want to keep getting payouts and sod everyone else who is getting treated badly. It is only when it happens to them or their actual friends they might change a bit. Best thing for people to do is just withdraw their money from hive.
I do not think hive can change as the people with all the stake are the people doing it, personally I would rather start over here where the platform is more fair and does not allow for such abuses.
