don’t say his name 3 times… 😝
I believe he is still around. As to what he is up to, no idea.
who is he though, when you said don't say the name 3. Times I so badly want to say to see what happens 🤣
he’s the reason we have downvotes and 50% curation rewards instead of 10-20%. It probably ended up being a good thing for the ecosystem but it was a huge mess that caused many many people to leave.
He used to upvote himself twice a day with a massive stake.
He invested a lot into the token but more than that, he did a favor for a whale and the whale followed him on a trail before either dying or losing their password. And so in the end he was earning a massive percent of the rewards pool.
Gotta give it to him for being shameless enough to do that but it could have easily destroyed the entire ecosystem and so we were forced to make downvotes to deincentivize self voting and 50% curation to encourage curating other users
ooooo so that's that history behind the down vote concept 😳 hold on a minute that means there was a time where down vote buttons never existed 😳
yes…and most people were pretty decent and a few only upvoted themselves and it was a massive drain on the community because there was more incentive to be selfish than support others.
In general I don’t like how the downvote is used but I can see that without it hive would turn into a pyramid scheme
Does that mean Hive is still partially centralized?
There is an account that has been reported by another account with low reputation about its farming activities with multiple bot accounts and damaging other genuine accounts, but no one seems to pay attention probably because they are scared of being monitored and downvoted.
I just did some look around and I know this Hive lord is around and even supporting some projects, well he got an army and still actively upvoting some posts. I think the bullying was more on Steemit (my findings so far).
Well, I hope for peace on Hive and a lasting ecosystem with so much growth.
Those were fascinating times....I was sitting there with my $100 in 'Steem' watching these guys with millions of dollars nuclear destroy each other's post payouts....lol What a time to be alive that was.
I wonder what the future holds?
Well, we certainly have more stake than before
as time goes one, you'll be a bigger boss and I'll be following your footsteps to rise here too man
I’ve never been nuked, surprisingly. I’m on at least 2 whales blacklists where they reply to every comment but mine and refuse to ever upvote me, but at least I don’t get nuked.
we will see. It often has positive long term effects during bull market, even if they dump
thank you Korea but what's happening it's going back down again. Maybe too many people are taking profits now 😳
I wouldn’t worry much. The development and onboarding at Leo is enough to carry the whole ecosystem and there is other cool stuff happening on hive too, even if maybe half of it is here 😃
I see more of the activities here on Leo. This platform is doing so great. That's why I agree with you, I won't worry much
