Think it’s clear that hive is controlled by those with the highest stake and maybe what you show here is a form of gaming the system/rewards pool. I’ve not enough knowledge or understanding to say either way. Personally I’ve nothing against those who’ve invested heavily having a bigger say than someone like me but recently there’s been a lot of hypocrisy and disingenuous reasoning. Be nice to see some honesty instead of pretending it’s fair and decentralised.
Hive is ran by people and people are inherently flawed by greed and ego, therefore it will never be perfect.
Found it quite amusing to read a post bemoaning how the author had been pestered by a down voter for reasons of revenge. Strangely, this particular author avoided all the usual verbal abuse and downvotes from the usually outspoken whales, folk who quite often say they will downvote “any” post that moans about this subject. Ironically, this post was massively over rewarded (IMO).
One rule for you, one rule for their mates.
