You are missing the point, honestly tho.
I see you say your stake your choice, and then talk about power downs of mine, well, my stake my choice.
Then again you speak of rewards, I'm not a very consistent writer here and I am definitely not complaining about rewards, I did point out that I earn fairly well based on the efforts I put in, did you miss that part in the post?
Are you saying that large users should favor small users more?
No, I'm saying that they should actually be the ones seeking out ways to task the community to build external value structures.
They hold the most tokens, so that would benefit them the most but why aren't there? It makes no sense to me.
In any case, small users should work hard to be the 'big user' someday and not expect others to give them the value of their work. Remember that the vast majority of whales here have not been given anything, if anything they have earned it.
Exactly, notice how the narratives here most of the time speaks bad of almost every system out there? Like traditional social media and their monetization and shit?
How many of the whales got rich from being on Hive?
That's right, many did whatever else in the real world and accumulated their wealth. So despite everyone saying those systems are shit and broken, that's where the money actually is, just too centralized then here we are in an ecosystem we could make things more flexible yet we are not applying any of the working solutions.
Then again you say I didn't show respect for what people have been building for years, did you miss my appreciation to those actually putting in the work?
Now let's talk about rewards once more, I happened to have shown more concern over how people doing so much for this space can end up being treated like shit, this was my point with the "$30 analogy" I wasn't talking about myself but taskmaster, just as I mentioned later in the post.
In as much as the small users have work to do, the whales have just as much work - even more, but it seems to be leaning towards those with the weakest of hands(resource wise).
Finally, let me say that although I think the topic of the post is in itself interesting, you have articulated it in a way that pits the different types of users in the ecosystem against each other, and you do so with disrespect to the network (basically you're stating false facts).
Text they say sometimes does not convey context as should, you read a different meaning to what I wrote here.
If anything, I'm only bothered this stagnation will remain and this space will tend towards more rigidity.
I do not understand why you ending this by saying I should be more careful, this is my opinion and observations expressed, isn't that a right or something around here?
I like to think I'm not the enemy here.
RE: As a whale, why are you not funding any idea on Hive?
