sorry, to correct meaning here:
it would be manipulative NOW to present this conversation as "approve this or I stop everything and don't ever work again" versus, "the widest majority of feedback on and off chain for years was to approach some amount of backpay, and then set a set of goals for continuation, so this proposal is a gauge of whether or not you want me to do full time Hive work to the exclusion of all else for the next two or so years."

In this case, it's a bit of semantics based heavily on a few years worth of feedback across everyone asked and posts made on chain— use the depth of the work already done over a huge period as the basis for a few more years going forward at full time, which then allows for a greater scope of work which can be done in public and used to determine any pay to continue in the further future. I will keep doing it nonetheless, but the amount of work and types of tasks, given whether Hive becomes full time first priority or not, and the foundations for tracking/types of reporting/goalsetting/responsibilities will vary heavily based on the flexibility of whatever job would be the "support" for Hive work, and that's an unknown.
