RE: Where Is Everyone? Like For real? 👻
I entirely blame the ppl who went over and begun hive: I’ve said a few times now I was invited to a private chat room with some of the leaders of ocd and they were disgusting. They actively laughed at newbies and for fun decided how to take them to rep 0 and run them off the platform
Then in public would pretend to be all nicey nice. I blame them entirely they ran so many good creatives off the platform with their pathetic downvoting and control. Had they not been so childish it would prob be huge by now. I don’t know Justin sun but knowing them I can imagine why he had to go hard at them. I’m sure they tried to pull their tricks on him too but he is way above them so they couldn’t. I wish I kept my tron for sure!
Their behaviour was so counter productive I actually have thought for a while it was nothing mot than a government Experiment to see how ppl would take to extreme control on social media. Interestingly the chat group used to be run by an account called illuminaughty or something similar. Something was wildly off with it.
I felt like it was an unnecessary power struggle and I hear what you are saying about them running people off the platform. It's sort of a catch 22 because the whole thing was to be a crypto social media platform but then they get mad if they don't like the amount of posts someone is putting up and I always say they clinch up with the money. The Proposal system could really be a huge Win but they actually don't fully utilize the system. For a long time it has been this select grouping of witnesses that would rather just sit there and get a good drip and not build HIVE but just stay in position and get the funds dumped on them.
I try to not get in the drama with it but I was even on X and a Hive Keychain account posted that they would repost people's stuff who are on HIVE. Well I liked the post and said I was on HIVE and then they basically proceeded to get in an argument with me because I had a Steemit.com link in my profile. I basically said I was on everything and Steemit has actually paid out more in the past 6 months than HIVE and it is the original chain. But again it was a needless argument.
YOu are right about Justin Sun and I had said it back while it was happening. Justin had more money and they tried to make a big problem before anything had actually changed and once they tried to fork and essentially nullify his stake on the new chain it was a war and then the HIVE crew was trying to cry foul and act like they were the victims or something. It was ridiculous. We would have been better off being on the same chain instead of fracturing up the community.
That being said I have never left and have never been full blown downvoted to 0 continually like we have seen with some people so i keep the flow.
If it wasn't for the way they act I'm certain HIVE would be on the first page of CoinGecko and all that..
