Great video man and I think you have provoked a really interesting discussion about Universal Basic Income. For me I am not a fan of UBI. There are perfectly organic distinctions in our society, the class based system isn't an artificial creation, well what's left of that system.
In my country the obsession with equality and breaking down the old class order has resulted in much higher crime, abjectly lower moral codes, living standards shattered, the middle classes hollowed out and most people now struggling with their finances with the vast majority of young people never having a chance of getting onto the property ladder.
The whole UBI thing is a classic Marxist deception tactic.
The old social order has now broken down but it has only been replaced with new elites and the new elites make our society a much worse place. They have unleased untold misery on our society.
And I used to believe in this order, I thought that the whole equality, diversity and inclusion project was something wholesome and good and I felt compelled to sign up to it, not realising of course it is a profound deception.
As for Hive and UBI now this is where things get strange. As I have just outlined in great detail I am no fan of UBI. However, on Hive I would welcome it with open arms. I thought the blockchain and Hive was supposed to be part of the solution but sadly it too has been corrupted and lots of ugly things happen on it. There is no chance you can break the system either, protest will get you nowhere. Having principles won't get you too far either.
You can produce a ton of decent, intelligent and engaging content and get little to no rewards. It's all about who you know, not what skills you posses and what you can contribute. So on Hive where so few people hold all the financial power and where the situation is much worse than in the real world, sadly yes UBI is needed.
In that kind of system yes I would absolutely like to see UBI introduced. And you never know with some form of workable UBI Hive might just attract and retain real talent.
VIP reward: 0.5 Hive
Thanks for this thoughtful comment. You happen to be one of those accounts who is putting in the work I speak of. This comment alone has enough thought to warrant a good upvote.
Discord in this sense has helped you, and others for that matter, gain visibility. But, imagine how many people never get seen and give up before being found by someone with any kind of stake to support them.
Yes I have been putting in the work from the day I arrived on Hive. Dare to scroll back to when I started you will see a Herculean effort with my posts. But it wasn't until I started delegating for vote support until I started receiving fairer rewards.
Discord has indeed help me gain some degree of visibility but rewards have not followed from visibility.
Yes, the comment I wrote is enough to warrant good upvotes, but watch how it won't get those votes.
After seven months of solid and sustained effort and after creating and hosting my own Discord show alongside an endeavour to reawaken the official Hive Discord server, which has succeeded, the average payout for my posts are still around $2.75, before curation rewards.
I think the level of rewards would accord with many people's experiences on Hive and the amount of time it takes to build a network.
I can agree with this. Which is why "incubating" people makes sense to me. With a lil help, they can stand on their own feet eventually.
I've noticed it 😉
Unfortunately we (@topcomment) don't have that much power to give you a massive upvote, but our stake is slowly growing.
Also we need to get some visibility 😊

UBI isn't going to work. HW will continue to suppress user retention, so that the oligarchy will maintain the majority of stake, and thereby retain control of Hive, and thereby retain the majority of rewards and stake on Hive. I reckon grasping that prudential view of their mined stakes necessary to consideration of every aspect of Hive, because it is the view of them that control every aspect of Hive.
Thanks!
