RE: Busy Transitional Day!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I understand and agree with your position. After all, if we talk about a topic and bring it up, we expect at least some 'consideration'. A vote would be interesting, but a comment like his, giving space for an 'interview' also seemed interesting to me, because at least I will be able to clear up all the doubts that I and many others have about the HSBI program.
However, I wasn't bothered by the lack of an upvote, since I didn't even know who the account holder was, much less that I was on his radar when I made the post. I always try to talk about topics that my followers are talking about, whether on the feed or on Discord, because I believe that is what they would like to consume. But I understand your point of view, your criticism, and I consider it valid. After all, when someone mentions one of my initiatives, I am happy and gave my upvote to the person as a form of consideration.
The voting power in the Hive SBI accounts is specifically earmarked to support the crowdsourced basic income. In effect, each HIVE submitted dedicates permanent support for the sponsored account, and the curation is provided back to the sponsor in the form of upvotes for their own support.
Any manual curation from the accounts would divert value, violate promises made to the community, and be an example of the forms of corruption that your video mentioned users should be watchful of. It would be like if hive.vote used its posting authorities to divert user upvotes whenever it encounters posts about itself. That would very obviously be theft!
We reblogged your post, and that can attract more voters with discretionary voting power, but our own VP is committed to delivery according to the promises made to our stakeholders.
I understand the point; it does make sense not to divert votes so that the initial idea prevails. But I believe it is also possible to talk to stakeholders and find more case studies for HSBI.
The idea proposed in the negative tax video may not be the best, even though I see it as the least bad, it could be a solution, but again I understand that it would unbalance the current model.
I also understand the criticisms of vote buying, but I have not yet formed an opinion on this allegation; I need to read and study a little more.
Otherwise, thanks for the comment.
