Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Almost everyone in the modern world has a well-established social media account.
Verification is not obligatory. We ask for verification when there is suspicion of identity theft/deception, which is always very common on Hive. Particularly vulnerable women's identities are stolen from all over the internet.

For example, we start requesting some accounts when identity thefts start flooding some tags, communities, or apps, or there is suspicion of reward farming by someone who deceitfully created multiple accounts and many others.

Some example of possible Identity theft:

Certain identity theft that I have just discovered:

If someone does not want to verify externally, they can contact us at [email protected] to prove authorship.

The community funds the "whip" daily at $95, which amounts to $2850-2945 per month. Is this the cost of one report per month? Where are the "claims" made randomly and in a template fashion? Afterward, the user must prove that they are who they say they are, or that they didn’t write the text with ChatGPT? Seriously? Is this how the "stick" project was intended to function in the ecosystem?
It’s possible that I don’t know or understand something, and that’s okay. In general, this article is an attempt to learn more. In the beginning, I mentioned the two incentives: the stick and the carrot. These are fundamental factors that directly influence social dynamics and behavioral factors within the ecosystem. I want to understand the situation and get to the truth.

Yes, it seems that you do not understand the work and activities.
The work has been scrutinised by the community since 2016. I doubt that there is any other project that has been more scrutinised on Hive.
