It's not a bootlicker, just a good environment for bootlickers. But it's not only for them, fortunately. The system is still wide enough for different types of people and behaviors... but I'm long enough here to notice a certain trend of centralization and regression toward something that can be poetically described as a "bootlicker's paradise."
Thank you for expressing your love of hive to us and you have really been a great blessing here on hive. All I just want to say is for you to keep it going
I don't understand why some people get a shit load of votes and some don't, even when their content is good. Then there's people who don't like you to cash out. Sometimes you need the money. I still enjoy Hive though. That's my rant for the day lol.
This isn't a meritocracy ... or maybe it is but the supreme merit one can have is being close and loyal to some group or individual.
Most of those who get a shit load of votes are minions who run and moderate various communities and endorse a multitude of mostly moronic petty rules. The votes are how big players pay them for their jobs. The quality of the posts isn't important.
Since visual arts are my profession, I can confidently say that many of them curate and decide what's good and what isn't with the grace, taste, and competence of a monkey running a nuclear power plant.
When it comes to the hypocrisy of the unofficial "cash out" rules and policies ... well that's a topic worth a long post not just a comment.
For now, I'll mention only a good old Latin proverb that translates more or less like this: "What is permissible for Jupiter is not permissible for a cow"
If Hive was a person, I would probably give her a tight hug and a warm kiss. Hive is truly family, one thing I love about Hive is the community and how it carries almost everyone along.

I catch your drift, thank you for loving our Hive this much 😊
What I love about Hive is being able to hone my skill as a writer. And I'm still in the process.
I love this art work..
Hi Borjan I’m curious though, how is Hive a bootlicker?

Ohhhh makes so much sense, thanks for explaining😃
🙂
Hive is definitely really great! Lately I found a question why I am addicted to Hive, turned out I am addicted to receiving comments! :D

We all love hive as all of us are making great communities and sharing our skills and ideas here.
I also love hive because from here I learn new things and my knowledge increased.
Hive is my baby and the love of my life
I love Hive and this is what I visit when I wake up and when I’m going to sleep

146% true. The Latin proverb got a equivalent in EN, named simply: 'double standards'.
I just feel sorry for people who don't get much recognition. It can be frustrating but I plod on as I enjoy it. One day the worm will turn ...
Hive is just a beautiful place to be in.
Place for many! 😜
I definitely resonate with the individuality aspect of Hive, you own your account and are solely responsible for it :)

Very true... hive is a family ❤️
Hive is a place where we can communicate and express our feelings. A place where we grow together 😄
