I do enjoy many of your interviews @joshsigurdson, have been a long time viewer and supporter of the channel. However @smooth and the rest of the community have some valid points.

With all due respect, your statements here are just showing people you don't understand the system you are using at all. If you just invested some time into communicating with the users and engaging with your community more it would help a ton. Users on Hive can also tip you directly FYI, just like YouTube superchats. That system is separate from the reward pool. Maybe people would support you that way if you educated your audience on the alternative options available here.

I think you should take some time to really study how Hive works before you make uneducated false claims, that hurts your credibility.

Good luck
