THINGS ARE CHANGING
Cryptofinally's name popped up in one of the discord communities I belong to. It seems she has moved over to one of hive's sister chain (We have a couple these days). I guess she found solace elsewhere from our supposed toxic community. I didn't follow the gist then, all i know is that she said something and someone got pissed and she blamed it on the community, then the community got mad and she got frustrated, went on a Twitter rage and left hive. Whew!
I don't think flag/downvotes are a huge deal anymore. Yes, they do occur but on a smaller scale. I have had my fair share of malicious or targeted downvotes which totally infuriated me. Fortunately, I was left alone after some time (bullies get bored easily, especially once you stop paying them any attention or fight back). But what if those downvotes come back or for some strange reason, what would i do? Of course, i will take the piss. No one likes losing money (well actually it is not your money/token until it is in your wallet and it takes a period of seven days to achieve that), but its impact would be less--less than it would have some years/months back and that's due to the multiple earning streams.
HIVE NATIVE TOKEN
One post could earn you multiple tokens but a lot of people cared little about those tokens because they had little or no value. I have a dozen tokens on my hive-engine wallet that have no value. However, this is gradually changing. We currently have a hive native token that is outperforming hive in terms of price. I am talking about leo token. At this point, I value it more than hive and I am certain that i am not alone on this. That's something that has never happened on hive. The implication of this is that a lot of people might not care if they earned any hive as long as they are earning the tokens they care about, which neutralises the effect of downvotes to a certain degree. Plus, let's not forget that having multiple interfaces running on the same blockchains makes censorship almost impossible. I think cryptofinally would have known that if she did do her research (or probably she cared more about her earnings like everyone else).
I have a feeling that the hive reward pool might be taken away if we have more active and successful communities like leofinance come up as means to curb or redirect inflation, which might positively impact the price of hive. One reason why i think people should be staking hive as well.
So if you do get to talk to cryptofinally, please let her know, if she is interested, she can be part of the leofinance community without having to deal with the supposed evil hive community (she doesn't even need a hive account to operate here). Everyone is welcome here (well, technically not everyone. If you are plagiarist or scammer, you will be kicked out).
That will be all guys, cheers...
p.s I have a crush on cryptofinally.
