You may think, Whaleshares is in heavy weather and the platform is tipping over, but that is not the case. The platform has never been better, Whaleshares removed the reward system and replaced it with a tipping system.
Instead of being able to reward more or less endlessly, with regenerating mana, everyone is given a daily reward based on the amount of Whalestake in their account.
Each member can decide to either claim the daily reward to their own account, or to their Tip Balance. Or do both, 50/50 or any split they like.
What is the big deal? There is no use in publishing multiple crap posts just to self reward with your own account, or alt accounts, the daily reward was already yours.
No more people upsharing/upvoting their friend's crappy posts or comments. These people just want money they are not going to share their daily reward with anyone. Circle jerk friends drop each other like hot bricks.
The result, a lot of the crap posting is gone, the platform looks better, and there is more room for people who publish good posts to get noticed.
Yep, that one has been used a lot. It seemed a strong argument for the naysayers when the details of HF4 became known. Truth is, time has proven them wrong. More and more people are filling their Tipjars and are more than happy to support others.
Funny enough, newbies have never been luckier. Projects to support and guide newbies are popping up everywhere. Everyone who shows they are willing to write, share and socialize gets overloaded with possibilities to grow.
That is another way of finding friends you have something in common with, lots of interests to choose from. Or start your own pod.
Why don't you come over and have a look around?
