Hive Power Up Month - Feedback from February day 25

Support the HiveBuzz project. Vote for our proposal!

Hi.

Why are you voting comments at 100% on the 6th day before payout? You should know that this is a classic tactic by people hoping to avoid both scrutiny of their activities and potential downvotes before payout. If you have nothing to hide then why not vote the comments as they are made?

Hi.

Maybe we'll find out something else first.
Do you think the downvotes of posts in the Moments of Liketu are helping to promote HIVE in the world?
And I don't want to mention that 3 percent of the post author's reward is returned to Liketu for further development.

I will answer that but first I will ask again. As you did not answer the question.

Why are you voting on the 6th day which is typical of bad actors we have seen in the past who attempt to avoid scrutiny and downvotes by voting as late as possible so that these votes cannot be countered?

And in answer to your question.

If everyone acted as you did would that help Hive or would it ultimately result in its demise as people attempted to game the system?

Update, regarding the 3% If development funding is required then surreptitious voting and rewards are not the way that this should be funded, It should be transparent and up front. For example, a proposal.

Further edit. A screenshot of a typical user you upvote on the 6th day.

It doesn't look as if this is helping Hive much?

How about another of these fine Hive users adding value that you vote on the 6th day - How do you think this helps to promote Hive in the world apart from making it look like a grand old scam?

Advocatus - No outgoing votes at all!

And on and on, in fact it goes back for months

Oh, and is that the same wallet address? Goodness me, I am sure there is a perfectly good explanation for that.

Perhaps you do not know, but for many years I have been the founder of the Ukrainian HIVE community.
Accordingly, as a curator, I vote for the posts of its participants.
Currently, it is best to promote HIVE through Liketu.
This app is simple and easy to use.
And not all users are writers or bloggers.
HIVE needs mass adoption to succeed.
Such services as Liketu are suitable for this.
To motivate further use Liketu, I vote for Moments of members of our community as soon as the battery of my account is charged.
This is approximately 5 or 6 days after publication.
Users of Liketu take the received HBD to @cryptex24 exchange, where they are sold in pairs with the Ukrainian hryvnia.
And I buy HBD on this exchange and send them to my account.
Maybe you can suggest another way of popularizing HIVE?
Because in five years I have already tried many things.

Perhaps you do not know but I have been on this chain almost since thr beginning. I have seen pretty much all of the ways that people justify their actions.

I fear what you are trying which looks like farming dressed up as promotion isn't working.

I vote for Moments of members of our community as soon as the battery of my account is charged.
This is approximately 5 or 6 days after publication.

In particular this. There is no need for 6th day voting and you know it. You currently have over 85% VP which blows this out of the water.

There isn't much more to say in this conversation. I will act as a Hive stakeholder concerned for the platform and you shall act as you have been. Gifting money to accounts who post comments just to receive it and promptly sending that money back out.

What you are doing is in no way good for Hive except to promote it as a free money pot and a bit of a scam.

Your right to act as you see fit.
You still did not answer me, what should be done to make HIVE popular?

A question to which there is no easy answer however my favroute response to that is...

Get rid of scammers...

The main concern is that the fight against scammers did not lead to a mass activation of Power Down and people did not start leaving the Hive community.
As history shows, the pursuit of witches has not yet led to anything good.

But that doesn't mean that we should stay our hand out of fear and allow bad practices to graduate into worse behaviour and resulting in the effective demise of the platform.

We should demonstrate the behaviours in the users we want to see.

Hey @gengua , I just wanted to reach out to you and ask if you can send me a witness vote, I took inspiration from your older posts on cryptobrewmaster so I hope you can help me out as a new witness.
