I don't know how to say this without being condescending but it really annoys me when people comment on Hive and it appears that they don't understand how it works, especially the economics.

Hive's rewards don't come out of nothing. Existing stakeholders (you and me, and everyone else with stake in Hive) allow for inflation of their stake, printing HIVE and HBD, which allows for the rewards. That's why we vote on posts. We direct that inflation to those people and posts we believe add value.

Someone posting their videos or blogs or whatever can be seen as adding content value to Hive, but I strongly disagree that nesomi is adding anything here, especially considering they've taken to mass spamming people trying to discourage using the platform. If they're some charity with 6-digit number of people on their mailing list or whatever, why don't they get everyone an account here so they could earn their own money instead of getting $2 a post on their central account, which according to one comment of theirs was mostly being used to pay the post maker anyway?
