At the risk of getting a little bit of hate thrown my way, I decided to write a little post about this, let's call it; "phenomenon". I might be mistaken here, but this might be the fourth wave of rage quitting since I joined the platform back in the Steem days.
Help me out...
What is the logic here? Maybe I'm missing something... Maybe it goes something like this....
Let's play pretend for a minute:
Picture it...
A dark room full of smoke...
Voices can be heard, there are people laughing...
As you approach you notice that it's none other than Hive's biggest whales sitting in a round table drinking expensive whisky and playing cards.
It's blocktrades turn, and he looks around and says to theycallmedan in a very serious voice
I think you are bluffing... I'll raise you 10 thousand hbd
Dan laughs hysterically....
you got me Blocks... let's go another round. Double or nothing... What say you?
Someone knocks at the door aggressively, something is up. Blocktrades get's up from his chair and elevates his tone.
- Who dares interrupt us whales? This better be an emergency!!! *
A timid voice interjects...
It is Sir, I apologize for interrupting but... we have a big problem in our hands
WHAT? OUT WITH IT ALREADY! - Says blocktrades as he wave his right hand in disgust.
It's DingleberryMcgee Sir... he, he just... he.. just rage quit the platform
The enslaved dolphin closes the door behind him and disappears into the ether.
Blocktrades stares back with disappointing anger...
Dan gets up from his chair and tries to calm down his friend Blocktrades.
Listen Blocks... we've been dropping the ball with dingleberry... we haven't been upvoting his posts to the hundreds like he deserves, we done fucked up man"
I feared this day would come.... gotta upvote the dingles, that's how we keep em....
Blocktrades takes a swig, clears his throat and calls for an emergency meeting of the cabal...
The phone rings...
Gentlemen... it's time... Dingleberry's actions have touched me, and we need to start upvoting all the Dingles we can find
After ten long seconds of silence one by one the members of the Cabal accept Blocktrades command and hang up without saying much...
End of Scene
Who has the inside info here?
On a serious note. Listen, if you need to quit, quit. No need to post about it, no need to cry, none of that gives you nothing but ego stroking and truthfully nobody cares that much.
I've seen hundred if not thousands of people come and go. Hundred who called themselves true believers, Kool aid dispensing archons of Theological Hivery, and they've left too, and guess what? Hive is still around, and probably will continue to be long after a thousand more people write the rage quit posts.
This is such a long game, that anyone who is thinking about it outside of at least a 10 year zoom-out is probably missing the forest for the trees.
Anyways, I'm done rating...
On the other hand... I'm buying the dip.
MenO
