The Bull Market Is Great. Just Don't Fall For Spamming...

Crypto bear markets are for accumulation, back doors development, growth and education. Those are the times when crypto projects and the environment around these are growing in silence. Bull markets are whole different times. That's when you start spending more, not giving a fuck about retirement and dreaming of big numbers.

Blockchain projects such as Hive are gaining more users during the bull markets because when prices of their tokens are going up, people are starting to brag about their earnings on social media, such apps gain more exposure and floods of new users are inevitable. Isn't that what we want for Hive?

To some extent, yeah... I read a post yesterday dedicated to @onealfa for being an awesome curator and for helping the author of the post making a difference in his personal finance thanks to the generous upvotes of Toruk. That's great. Many of us should have such posts, although I doubt @onealfa is the person to care of such praising...

Being a user that manages to live off of content creation on the Hive blockchain, I am happy to see other content creators doing good and having goals and ambitions pushing their work further. We're a community after all. Becoming greedy and getting close to becoming a spammer it's something I don't appreciate though.

After reading that man's post, that I mentioned above, I checked his profile to see if he's worth following, but to my amazement I realized that he's just four days old on Leofinance and he already had two days with six posts a day... That's 3X my daily posting routine, the same goes for @taskmaster4450 from what I noticed, and I doubt many around here are posting more than twice a day through Leofinance interface. Some don't even post daily...

I know that there is no posting limit and I am 100% not entitled to judge anyone's posting pace, and not even doing that with this blog, but I feel that what comes on top of two blog posts a day is too much. I also feel that it's not fair for the community. Somehow all of us "are entitled" to exposure in this community and the chance of getting curated by... whoever does that.

If all of us would post 5 or 10 times a day this community would become a mess, we will have a repetition of a sort of abuse that has created a lot of conflicts a few years ago and that would be awful. Leofinance is too good to be abused. I know, especially if you're a new user you want to put content out as often as possible and collect as many rewards as possible, but I don't think that's a good strategy.

I could easily throw at you 4-5 posts a day, minimum three minutes read each, as I have quite the experience to do that, and I'll definitely be able to score at least 10 of these 1 minutes read each, but I'm not doing that. What ever comes after two posts a day, for me is too much. What would my followers say, when would they have time to read all of them? Those are important questions one should ask himself before engaging in pouring article after article.

It's not like I'm the only one in their following list. It's true that there's no posting limit on neither Hive, nor Leofinance, but there are somehow a few unwritten common sense rules that keep this chain a clean one. At the moment, as much as I am aware of the spam situation on Hive, we're pretty good. I understand that during bull markets, when prices are getting through the roof some can have the temptation to post more often in trying to earn as much as possible...

... but that's no long term view and definitely not sustainable. It had failed others in the past and will definitely make history repeat itself. Once we will have project blank out, then 10 posts a day would probably be the norm for that app, but so far Leofinance is not quite the place for microblogging and excessive posting. That's the way I see it.

I haven't tagged anyone in this post, except @onealfa as a curator, because I don't want to offend anyone, I'm not entitled to decide how often should one post, the community will do the math, but I hope my honesty has triggered "the click". Leofinance is a great community, it's the best one. The Bull Market Is Great To. Just Don't Fall For Spamming...

Thanks for attention, Adrian
