Before posting I removed the part where I mentioned I have near-zero faith in "the archetype" being capable of understanding this, but one line in particular illustrates one of the original concepts perfectly: "If you have some sort of game that uses these upvotes to pay for something". Really, it's like everyone in that category has become a mindless drone barely capable of passing a turing test. Meanwhile part of the game is made to discern if anything has beyond-human intelligence. Thank "GOD" for that. No marky, it isn't a steemit upvote game, there are a million ways to make money on hive.

Anyway the whale circlejerk voting is obvious, although 'organic' traded votes is a fancy spin on the idea. It's nice to see that people have given it some thought to avoid anything coming back to haunt them, but it probably will anyway. I don't really care about it though, I just decided a couple random people should notice it sooner than they were going to otherwise. Some of it could be 'organic' like an unspoken handshake, sure, but it boils down to the same thing, since you care to talk about boiling things down and ignoring everything else - that's what it is, vote trading on every. single. post.

Don't be mistaken though, it's not like I'm calling the cops on a cop. First of all nobody would do anything about it, but more importantly I have much bigger fish to decimate than some random hive dude - I'm just letting you know that you're not as invincible as you think you are while simultaneously proving you're not as smart as you think you are by cascading your own actions into more proof of the things I actually care about. This is actually very easy to do, because you still have no idea what is going on, nor do you care to understand, as per the tertiary definition of blind. The AMA is the perfect place for you to defend yourself, so WTF is really going on? Maybe I'm attacking you, maybe I'm your best friend in disguise, maybe this is all just more reflections from the mirror that never breaks, and you can fight yourself forever if you find it entertaining - I think hive could use a few more scathing arguments in the midst of all this artificial positivity anyway, so "hey, fuck you" and etc.


{why does the answer have to be inside of a giant wall of text?}


None of this is even remotely surprising, and despite my permanent negative tone, I don't even think you're a below average person - I just happen to think that literally everyone on the entire planet is effectively retarded inside of a certain context, and there's a clearly demonstrated way of proving it, along with a very important reason for proving it. Among those things, there's no greater proof than someone attacking: it's written on the walls, and nobody can figure out why. In any community, in any format, on any website, it's always the same - and not a single one of those mindless legal drones has ever become self-aware enough to realize what is happening, so I don't expect you will either, it's fine.

Despite all of that, I think you're probably "a good person", not intentionally malevolent, but instead you are sincerely attempting to 'do the right thing', along with almost all other law-enforcer type people on the planet - and yet we already know exactly what they are going to do when suddenly faced with something that absolutely refuses to follow their literal-code of 1 trillion laws, even while they are repeatedly warned "do not attack". It's a suicide mission and everyone's on it.

The fact that you have any confidence in your ability to judge against something you don't understand is yet another point proven about people with power, along with this post illustrating a repeated instance of one of the very predefined ways they will react to certain things, so thanks. It obviously isn't enough to prove something like this once, it has to be done multiple times, over and over again in multiple formats.

To be clear and basic enough for anyone willing to understand:
all of this hostility is hostility against the archetype. (like I said, a catalyst)

congratulations - anyone understanding how this works is suddenly a fucking pro.
