Hello, how are you my dear hive users? Today I want to share a new post with you. This time I want to write about the things I see on hive. The truth is that hive has become something quite important to me. Well, it turns out that what is happening on hive is something quite important and somewhat delicate too. It is supposed to be a free platform where everyone decides what to do with their money. With their votes, everyone decides what to share on it, among many other things. Unfortunately, this freedom has also generated something quite negative, and that is that there are many people giving away their money completely to any type of publication without any kind of criteria, without any kind of perception of quality or evaluation of the effort, among other things.
And my intention with this post is to change that, but I'm not going to tell you what to share. I'm not going to tell you what is good or what is bad. What I want is for you to react and define your parameters, your curation criteria, and realize that.
From this publication (which I'm not criticizing)

To this other post (which I am not criticizing either)
https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@zakludick/warhammer-40k-modding-considerations-vs
But both posts do not have the same value, they do not require the same effort and therefore we should not rate them in the same way, this will affect the platform in several ways
- We will avoid that a lot of the cryptocurrency that we are giving now leaves the platform and negatively impacts its value.
Let us remember that hive depends entirely on the value of readable, which is the cryptocurrency that gives life to this platform, and if we start making posts simply because they shared a selphy or a silly thing or whatever, then yes, the truth is that the cryptocurrency is not going to survive much longer.
But I repeat, you are the one who decides if you like one or the other, this is simply what I want and above all this is a criticism and a message for the whales of hive, to give them an example so they understand the seriousness of this matter. We all know that there is a whale, a certain whale within hive who likes to appreciate other people's posts. It turns out that this account appreciates a photograph of a girl in the bathroom as much as a drawing created by an artist for a whole month or a short film.
Basically the values are the same and what is going to happen is that over time more people will share these types of low-effort posts, instead of sharing other people who create content with their effort with extra quality. Well, this is going to make hive users go somewhere else and we are going to lose investors and we are not going to be ranked in Google for many other things. You really have to stop, read and think about what you are doing with each vote since each vote can make the platform sink.
