Interviewer: What would you say is your biggest strength?

Me: I am very fast at math!

Interviewer: Alright!. What is 39 times 28?

Me: ¡69!

Interviewer: That's not even close.

Me: Nope, but it was fast. Right?

Interviewer:

We must be sick of walking on eggshells because at the emergence of a trending blockchain oligarchic capitalism within Social Networks which promise equitable rewards to its userbase according their own talents and efforts, anyone who did not abide by the prevailing pattern of creation and consumption mandated by the big stake hodlers in said platforms, reliably, simply will be ostracized by them without further notice.

¿How many wolves in sheep's clothing could you identify in this image?

**Yeah! of course. Click on the image if you need some help.*

Automated voting compared to manual is way more profitable and manual curators are not only being disincentivized to read and curate manually but long form content is also being discouraged. People will either "manually" vote on something from a known author that looks long and decent without reading cause they don't want to miss out on the CR when they stumble upon those posts.

So the 5min window is incentivizing short form content or content that takes little time to decide on the curation, such as art, a song, a poem, comic strip, etc.

What I mean by this is that when certain big accounts see posts that already have $1-10 in votes they won't even care if the author cured cancer here and now, they are going to skip voting it to not risk being the last account to vote on the post which causes a chain reaction of other's doing the same.

So, after the infamous EIP, there is no doubt in my mind that despite of having mildly killed the Bidbots operations that went rampant in the past.

Still, with the changes introduced by the EIP clearly undermining authors and content creators rewards with its 50/50 policy. A new genetic tare and flaw exclusive of the opulent royalty spreaded like a firestorm everywhere.

The new 5 minutes voting window, the stupid and very discriminatory 2e12 convergent linear rewards curve which instantly stifled and assassinated enthusiastic comments, interaction and engagement since no one seemed willing to vote comments anymore. And the separate downvote mana pool with its daily 2.5 free downvotes. Each one of these new algorithms which patently were for the exclusive benefit of whales and big honchos with fat wallets and high SP/HP stake. Did nothing for the little swimming fries.

And yet, they still insist and talk about we should go out there and recruit and onboard more new users. ¿More new users like what? ¿More new little swimming fries like the majority of us? Oh no, of course not. The royalty only wants you run the voice yelling around just if by chance for your noise you are able to hook a big investor or another big and opulent sea mammal like them to squeeze your rickety author rewards even more.

It is workers who produce value in our society and not ‘entrepreneurs’ who only generate ideas, which they claim fancifully produces wealth. When clearly a world without workers is a world that halts.

And then, there is also the subject in my previous post. Which I will not develop or repeat here as I suspect it was already very well described and decently explained over there. Well, in case you are an attentive READER.

But as I have a slight hunch that due to my bad mood at that very specific moment, I could have left some loose ends there so that it won't be clearly understood what I was referring to in that previous post. Let me add here what I think was missing in that post instead of edit it.

Having said all the above. Plus the evident incestuous inbreeding going on around all these new isolated communities. Highly atomized and scattered niche tribes, horde clans, hipster clubs, exclusive gangs and odd wannabe lodges all of them within the same blockchain mothership. Steem & Hive.

Suffice to doodle here a handful of quick links toward the articles of a few perceptive dudes in these Web 3.0 Social Networks who also catched what I'm talking about. Let's start with these five with no particular order:

  1. Check and READ this post written by @doitvoluntarily.

  2. Check and READ this post written by @denmarkguy.

  3. Check and READ this post written by @lordbutterfly.

  4. Check and READ this post written by @lucylin.

And last but no least.

*The fifth: Check and READ this post written by @acidyo to weighing and ponder better toward which wall of bricks we are addressing for our final genetic crash. Or maybe not, if you are a filthy rich soaring hiker hillbilly.

But what I can assure you without the most minimal error is that the great impact of the breeding practices of consanguineous endogamy between Royal Families everywhere in the world, sooner than later, all of them with no exceptions, each one of them have ended up in a decline of their royal and sublime genetic inheritance and finally their lonely and silent death.
