Hive is killing itself – thanks to self-appointed hobby cops like
Hive risks undermining itself because of hobby moral police like Hivewatcher and Spaminator.
Their actions — belittling, blacklisting, and downvoting creators — do nothing but discourage people and hurt the community.
They do not accept other opinions and react aggressively whenever anyone disagrees.
This behavior is not only counterproductive, it reflects an ideology that punishes difference instead of fostering discussion.
Let me be clear: all my content is original and produced entirely by me.
I cross-post across multiple platforms to build a portfolio and reach an audience.
Here is the absurd part: according to their rules, if I post my videos on YouTube first and then on Hive, it’s suddenly “copypasta spam.” But if I post first on Hive and only then share on YouTube, it’s considered fully original and fine. This is completely arbitrary, illogical, and punishes creators for simply managing their workflow.
Insisting on exclusivity while disregarding the creator’s workflow is restrictive and counterproductive.
Hivewatcher, an exclusive video on this topic will follow. It will show why rigid policing discourages creators and damages the ecosystem. Originality is defined by creation, not by which platform sees it first. Threatening, blacklisting, or downvoting content for being cross-posted is not enforcement — it’s controlling behavior.
For creators: don’t let these actions stop you. Keep producing, keep sharing, and don’t let arbitrary rules or intolerant attitudes dictate your workflow. Hive can only succeed if creators are supported, not policed.
A video on this topic will follow. It will be original and exclusive, published on Hive first before being shared on other social media platforms. This is to show clearly that my content is fully original, while still reaching a wider audience after.
