Before Hive was created a whale told me they had over 10000 accounts. When you have enough stake you can claim account tokens. The whales claim almost all those tokens. Some of us buy some accounts in addition to our 'main' accounts, but this is a tiny fraction of the free accounts claimed by the whales.

There are ways to detect AI, but they are subjective and becoming more difficult as AI gets better. However, there are several ways to identify unique individual people, and these can be employed to enable sorting people from bots. These mechanisms would have to be implemented on Hive to work, but that would make all those sock puppet accounts unable take rewards from the pool.

I am not talking about AI, you clearly also have reading comprehension issues along side being a liar :)

You admit above I spoke truly about Holozor providing some numbers. I stated I used those, Arcange's monthly posts, and more, as input for my estimates. You may not agree with my extrapolations from those data, but that doesn't mean I made them up. You verified I didn't yourself, and say so. Estimates aren't just made up, they are best guesses based on available information. This shows you're lying here when you say I just made up numbers. You are a liar. Lying is deliberately misstating facts in order to deceive. This clearly demonstrates your intent to harm, to deceive with malice aforethought.

Your estimates are made up, not holoz0r's numbers. Two things can be correct at the same time. One being true, does not make other also true.

You are misstating your opinion as fact that are backed by numbers when they are not. They are opinions you made about here and share to attack people with no basis in reality.

Here you prove your inability to understand. Is every author receiving the same rewards? Of course not. Yet everything you say following this statement is based on all authors receiving exactly an equal share of rewards regardless of how many posts they make or how well rewarded each post is. All authors do not receive the same rewards, and it is obvious - if you look - that the more stake an author has, the more rewards they receive for their posts. HBDfunder comments enable curators to take all rewards, without any rewards to the author. This proves that the stated split between author and curators doesn't actually split rewards by that percentage in real life. This is true of all posts where authors decline rewards, and the actual rewards for a post in which beneficiaries are designated, as all my posts since I learned this could be done do, also vary from that percentage. Then there's tips, burn posts, and more.

Again, doesn't matter. It is statistically impossible for 99% of authors to be sock puppet accounts of whales as you claim. You try to sound smart to mislead people without actually knowing how anything actually works. All authors might not receive the same amount, but more than enough author receives rewards that it is impossible for 99% of author rewards to go to whales, it is impossible for 90% of author rewards going to whales as you claim. I remember you from edicted's post where you were again making baseless claims.

You clearly do not. You have no idea what you're talking about, and this is why you are making false claims about PoB and maliciously attacking me for trying to explain things to you. I'll make it simple for you, so that anyone you have deceived can understand how you are deceiving them. Hive is a plutocracy in which a majority of stake is all that determines governance. ~36 (the ~ indicates 'about' because the actual number of whales isn't fixed. You'll observe all the numbers I have provided were preceded by the tilde, because they are not fixed and precise quantities) whales have the majority of stake, and have since the platform advented in 2016. Nothing else but stake determines governance of the platform. PoB, PoSV, nor any other mechanism can change anything about how Hive works, because the only thing that determines what code runs is the consensus witnesses whom are selected by those with a bare majority of stake, the ~36 whales. They make more money than you, me, and all the rest of us together, and they keep it that way.

Putting a tilde on number of whales does not matter, what matters is your claim that they receive 99% of the rewards. A LIE you say with a straight face. Clearly, I know more than your malicious ramblings suggest.

That's all you need to know, and maybe, if you can understand that simple fact, you'll shut your lying mouth and quit deceiving people. “When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease being mistaken, or cease being honest.”--Anonymous.

If you were an honest man, you would have taken that quote to heart when you were proven wrong by the numbers @holoz0r provided rather than using them to spread lies around the place.

You have tried to prove me wrong, but what you did is prove that you are not honest, and are determined to stay wrong.

"I win because I said so."

Anyone reading this can ascertain the truth and who is right and who is wrong and I am confident I will not be the one who they are decreeing wrong.

And you can kindly fuck off :)
