Very well said.
Votes on content should be for the author's content not against some other voter and not just because someone is friends or enemies. It is after all, the equivalent of purchasing content in irl.
Thats what the whales in the dvwar dont understand. Many people see Hive as a marketplace as much or more than a social place. If this was to have an analogy irl. It would be running through a farmer's market knocking food & money out of random peoples hands because somebody you didnt like bought something from someone you didnt care about. It denies the consumer (and many more potential consumers) the product it wants to purchase and it denies the vendor the money they want to collect for the product. And ultimately gives a bad rep to the whole farmers market.
What I can't get my head around is this idea that you haven't lost anything because it has not paid out yet. That's like telling your misses you'll take out with the $20 you'll earn for mowing next door's lawn and then the homeowner refusing to pay because they don't like the finished job! 🤯
So very true. It's like it's just there for a tease until a whale war comes along.
Given people cannot seem to visualise the problem in their head, If I could be arsed, I would do a video of money piling up and a countdown clock and one minute before the payout, swipe it all into a wastepaper basket!
Then maybe folk will understand how devastating getting your potential rewards wiped out is.
You probably didn't see the comment(s) I made on Mastodon.
