While several POB members crib about censorship & dictatorship on Hive, muting someone from the whole platform/tribe is actually censorship. Downvoting is not though! I have said it previously, it's such a negative word, we should change it to something like 'Rewards Pool Replenisher'. 😂

Anyway, I was baffled to see Lucylin's rants getting tons of rewards from @proofofbrainio being the largest stakeholder on the platform. He upvotes and supports a lot of good stuff too but then it is within a circle of specific people which is not great practice as a tribe owner. Since it's a new tribe, I can understand why that circle is small right now and many of these rewards are going to responsible people/projects who are further helping with the distribution.

This whole Lucylin scenario made me sick to the core not because I am jealous that he is getting more rewards than me but because he eating away too much from the community's reward pool. I spend a lot of time creating my posts. Idea, research, drafting, proofreading, editing, graphics - All these activities take so much time yet I get no upvotes while lucy takes them all. Lol, jk! I get upvotes for my hard work from good peeps but I would get more in rewards if folks like Lucy don't get overrewarded. I am sure there are many people like me, but most of us will not be able to do anything about it since we are too small.

I don't want this tribe to die since the concept is genius and @proofofbrainio must have thought a lot about it before kicking things off. Actual lives are getting changed from this and I see many good projects popping out within the community. At the same time, now I understand the risks of Hive Tribes in general. They are too centralized (especially when they are new) which is a huge problem for any stakeholder/investor IMO. Thanks a ton, @azircon for pointing out the problems, risks, and abuses related to Hive & POB. This post is an eye-opener!

In the end, I am hoping this drama to end soon. When egos are hurt and things start to get personal, it's a shitshow for everyone involved.
