A SHOUT OUT TO SOME OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS ON VYB

in #vyb3 years ago

Much as I miss good old days of Steemit in it’s heyday (2017) when my feed was filled with all sorts of awesome full length blog posts, and many of the best posts got over 50 comments from interested and engaging real people, things change, and we have to move with the times.

Like many of my online friends these days, I have accounts on multiple platforms with lots of different feeds to look at. The blatant corruption on Hive which has encouraged so many to move elsewhere, is very well summarised in this post, which names many of the worst cabal accounts who are doing the malicious downvoting:

Yes, some of the research is a bit rough, but ultimately what he is saying is correct, and the accounts downvoting it are a whose who of Hive insiders. Like most people blacklisted on Hive I have said nothing because I've had enough of fighting a battle I can't win.

Away from Hive, I’m on Bastyon and Gab, and have my own Wordpress blog, as well as very underutilised accounts on Blurt, Bitchute, and Flote, and a few others, even including Facebook, that I never use. And my old Steemit accounts are all still there too, with much of the best content I’ve ever posted online.

My favourite Steemit account (I had more than a dozen) was sift666 - https://steemit.com/@sift666

And that in a nutshell is why I powered down my 250k of Hive Power, and why my vote on Hive is now worthless. But I haven't given up on the Hive blockchain, I’ve shifted all my focus to https://www.vybrainium.com
That means I will probably only see your post if it has the #vyb tag, and I will definitely only give it a meaningful vote if it has that tag. If I vote for posts that are not tagged #vyb my vote is worthless but it still uses up my voting power, so generally I don’t.

If I like your post on my Peakd feed but it’s not tagged, I might give it a 5% vote as a sign of appreciation, but more likely I won’t see your post at all because it wasn’t on my Vybrainium feed.

In these stressful times, art is a break from all the conspiracy updates. After researching stuff like the history of globalist eugenics leading to the corona psyop, for the past 15 years, I’m burned out. New Zealand is pretty full on these days, not like Ukraine, but maybe more like a little sunny Pacific island version of Canada.

So on Vybrainium I often look at art and photo posts. In many cases I can’t be arsed writing comments, especially on my tablet, but I do look at them and upvote them. Some of my favourite VYB artists and photographers include:

@in2itiveart
@maxwellmarcusart
@artgrafiken
@tattoodjay
@teesart
@brunonacif
@barbarabezina
@mmckinneyphoto13
@isaria
@barski
@sharker
@driptorchpress
@doze
@veeart
@d-pend

But there is a lot more art on my Peakd feed than on Vybrainium, most of which I’m missing.

Like a broken record I’ll say it one last time and tag a few names here. But this is probably the last time I’ll go on about it and from the first of March I’m going to mostly stop looking at my Peakd feed, even though it’s the best front end, simply because I don’t have the time, and my Hive curation is only worthwhile on Vybrainium.

Here are some artists and photographers I’d like to be able to upvote, so please tag your posts #vyb:

Thanks for the shout out! There are tons of awesome artists on all the chains, too bad they are always taken over. We'll keep going though!

I'm hoping VYB will play out differently, simply because it has no downvoting.

I think we can still curate with hive even though they don't use the VYB tag. At least, it's easier to do so now that you've brought them to our attention. I know I'll be taking a look now. Here's to hoping they use #vyb in their future works.

Thanks for the shout out and continuous support of creative on the platform. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you once again.

Thanks for tagging me!

KISS? HaHa :D good find.

Since I heard about it I have been using the #vyb tag, has it not been showing up? Is it one of those that has to be in the first five tags?

Sorry, false alarm - yours are all working fine - for some reason one of your posts didn't seem to show yesterday, but it does now. As far as I know the only thing with the #vyb tag is that it may not work with some other tags - leo maybe? - but don't quote me on that, and nothing you are using. All good on your posts

How many times did I bring up this article? Lol, I must have been more excited than I though as I tried up voting more than once.

Thank you for this support

Thank you so much for your support! ♥♥♥
