It's not really a great post and it sucks beyond any scope of reality.

I think you're being a little harsh with this sentiment, but that's only my opinion, and we're all entitled to opinions.

You want to talk about bad actors lets start there. If people can monetize their own accounts for their own benefit that works against any new paying on boarders, I mean really why would you want to give your own money away when you can have it to yourself.

That's a good point. Hive is not a perfect system by any means and active measures against bad actors is taken with our "archaic oogabooga downvote system".

There's two sides to the coin on this one, maybe even more than two sides.

edicted: Hive does a fantastic job of this already with the whole upvote/downvote system, even if it is a bit archaic, highly subjective, political, and prone to extreme drama.

This is both agreeable and disagreeable in my mind, for a lot of reasons, but mostly agreeable because the extreme drama's are a constant over this topic.

To say censorship does not exist on Hive would be a false narrative in my opinion, because downvotes serve as a censorship mechanism on Hive, but also a way to address "bad actors" monetizing their account(s) in the manner you've outlined.

So is it good or bad, or does it provide a balance to a system that is a digital transposition of capitalism, in which there will always be differences of opinion due to the nature of what can happen with corruption in a capitalistic system. It's hard to get around these ideologies on Hive with such heavy polarization of opinions.

You are behind the curve ball.

Correct, I'm behind with these politics, probably because I do things in life that I find more meaningful, but I still find these things important for the future and do my best to catch up here and there. Thank you for providing me with some information that I need to take a look at.

I really do try and stay out of the fray of the shit that goes on here but I surely couldn't help myself this time, I am still laughing. Bad actors....hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha, I'll probably wake up laughing.

Talk about bad acting... a quick look at your comments suggests you very much like to stay in the fray of shit.

For some reason these hahaha's sound like heeehaaw's in my mind.

I hope you get your hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha-heeehaaw's from my comment when you wake up ;D
