Hello.

Cast.garden and tdvtv both use the free Hive-Tube server plugin for their media hosting, as are hundreds of other web hosts. Don't pretend like you don't understand how Hive-Tube works, we've had numerous dm's about that in your chatroom at chat.hive.blue.

Regarding those 3 posts:

1. We spoke with "Radioman" (he has a very popular radio station) about that bodycam video he posted as it was not a podcast at all. He agreed that he will not upload content like that again in the future.
2. The second Radioman post you show there is his typical radio station content which I personally love. If you don't like his music, or his shows with Hector, then contact him and maybe he will switch it up a bit.
3. "Startup Podcast PH" is a University Professor named Janni located in the Philippines. Kencode was just on their podcast last week and they did an AMA with him. A great podcast and they now have their own channel on Cast.Garden too.

I agree with you that those Creators should choose their Communities more carefully. That has been mentioned to all podcasters via email, twitter dm's and matrix chats and many of the podcasters are adjusting that as we speak. 👍

If the Hive Community does not like their content or a particular post, then please let us know in our chatroom or email and we can A) inform the Creator to stop posting in there, and/or B) unsubscribe the Hosts from your community completely.

Nobody double-dips the rewards pool (we are VERY clear about that up-front with the Creators), 100% of the podcasters got Hive accounts, content is NOT cross-posted, I personally upvote all of the posts that I like, I do NOT upvote them all as you will see, and many of the podcasters engage with the Hive community in the comments too, which is not required of course.

You mentioned @tdvtv as well. They burn ALL of the rewards on channels that A) do not have a Hive account, or B) has rewards disabled on their video channel. As for getting rewards for posting on someone else's behalf, there is nothing wrong with that. It costs the host (like tdvtv) a lot of money to host the videos for those Creators and they should be paid something for providing that service.

🔥 Great Creators are leaving Hive because their income gets removed. Whale wars... the powerful are fighting each other and all of us Creators are the ones who suffer.

============================

I PROPOSE THIS:

• For Witnesses, votes decay. 💪 That's awesome. HP Delegations must decay as well to 0 HP by 8 days. If 8 days is not long enough, then renew your HP delegations like I do, or get some HIVE into that account and Power it up.

Maybe @freedom, @blocktrades, @alpha, @darthknight, @steemmonsters, @theycallmedan, @blocktrades.com, @mottler, @mika, @adm, @ranchorelaxo, @jamesc, @elmerlin, @honey-swap, @xeldal and other HP whales have an opinion on the above Proposal?

HP Delegation Decay (HPDD) of 8 days. 💪
If you whales would NOT vote for HPDD, why not?

============================

I agree that individuals need to upvote and downvote posts (unlike Blurt). Most individuals, if they see porn on the site for example will downvote it. The post gets hidden/muted and maybe even demonetized, and that poster gets the hint that what he is doing is wrong. When you are spending your time to post, your posts get hidden, you earn almost nothing, you leave Hive or change your ways. Easy-peezy.

Value is derived from individuals.
