Hi @hurt-locker and @opinion-voter ,
You downvoted my weekly BBH dividends post (with less than 1 Hive in rewards) because for you is low quality of something.
But this daily bot posts with more than 30 Hive rewards you don't downvote
https://peakd.com/posh/@poshtoken/posh-1763165910781
Ultimately, you're going after the small hivers who earn 1 or 2 Hive in rewards, while others farm Hive daily with bot posts.
So much hypocrisy, only to end up just like so many others.
Also, I am only human. If you want to call me a hypocrite? Yea I’m a hypocrite. Last time I checked everyone is.
Like you calling me names kinda sucks man. I don’t know why there is a dislike button if I can’t push it. Who made the button? What are the rules for the dislike button? Who made the rules?
great find on downvoting this post, fuck it at this point trying to deal with idiots
Thanks man. Kudos to the user running the opinion-voter account. I can't do it alone. Just people saying little things makes a big difference.
From what I've seen over the last few years, you have put in the effort, you did the thing, you showed people grace, and you encouraged them to make better content. You are still doing it!
But every time I see someone complain about poshtoken. It seems like a scam. If people actually cared about what you were doing. They would bring it up to you unrelated to them getting a dislike on their post.
Posh token is only an issue when I hit the dislike button. That's kind of weird!
Don't give up. I love most of your projects and enjoy seeing your passion behind them. I believe you will crush it.
They just like having excuses to justify their own shitty actions, like pointing to ecency's shitty point system when they start selling votes for instance.
Poshtoken is proven to be non-profit however, if people think the traffic/what it does is not worth the reward pool spend we can adjust any time or pause it, i couldn't care less at this point.
I just don’t think people are making a valid argument against posh token.
To me it’s just pointing fingers without any kind of serious due diligence.
Maybe it is a problem? I don’t know? People just complain about it when they receive a dislike.
That’s not enough for me.
There needs to be a reason? Is it worth it? Maybe?
People need to say why it’s not worth it, not say it’s hypocrisy.
Posh token is complicated. There is sweat equity in that thing. It is worth something. Is it worth what we pay for it? I don’t know, I would have to look at it. It’s complicated enough it would take me a while to look at it and if I’m going to disagree with you on something, the least I can do, is make a case to you with some type of solution, so then we can at least talk about it.
@acidyo thanks a lot for call others idiots without know him.
If think that is a good position for someone will some projects here.
then what are you? You point to a project you know nothing about apparently and at the same time call me an abuser who farms hive?
a malicious idiot who likes to taint others in a bad light?
a fucking moron who convinces valueplan to spend tens of thousands of our inflation on your local shit team's stadium?
piss off
I pointed a project that I don't have huge knowledge but looking to the rewards make me think and I find it strange that daily posts, which always have the same content and seem to be automated, have so many daily rewards.
If you think I did that maliciously to defame people, that wasn't my intention; in fact, I even participate in some of your projects.
If I thought you were just a farmer, I would never have interacted with your projects.
Besides, at the beginning of POSH, when it was related to Twitter, I helped by sharing content there; however, when they moved to Reddit, I gave up because I don't use it.
Regarding the Value Plan, there's no need to insult me, as this was my last attempt to showcase Hive here in Portugal using the Value Plan funds.
However, what my project received means the Hive logo appears on national television during various handball games, and people see the logo whenever they go to the arena, becoming familiar with it.
However, perhaps there are other projects that don't achieve this level of exposure and are more expensive.
Look at what you post and the comments you receive before @hurtlocker became active here. How the fuck do you think that's a good use of hive inflation?
To then point towards a project you know nothing about and say that "they do the same so why shouldn't I" is quite idiotic don't you think?
posh is bringing provable thousands of views to our front-ends daily for maybe $50 spend per day compared to valueplans retarded use of funds that'll go down in history as outrageous mismanagement of funds
First of all, I never received any comments (good or bad) about these posts from my weekly BBH summary.
However, I'm not going to discuss whether their impact on inflation is that significant for Hive.
But that's not the important point here either.
I never joined Hive thinking I would earn/live off the money I earned here.
I joined because I met some Portuguese people who told me about Hive.
Regarding "they do the same so why shouldn't I," I never thought I would do the same as them.
That was never the thought and never will be.
Regarding the Value Plan funds, I can only speak about those allocated to the project I'm managing, trying to bring in people who normally don't have contact with crypto but who can have an excellent experience through social media and change their thinking about crypto.
But as I said, at the end of this season this initiative will be closed by my decision.
Although I'm not a financial management person, I can see that I'm not getting the expected return, so I'm stopping using funds for this.
However, these funds ended up being used by others who may have less exposure.
I'm not going to be the problem in Hive or ValuePlan.
okay i don't care, valueplan is done either way, my point is you're posting farmy automated content, getting no engagement and when downvoted and called out about it you're pointing to a nonprofit project that's brought more views to our front-ends than valueplan's 3 million + spendings ever will.
Way to burn your bridges for $1 pending rewards.
Firstly, I wanted to apologize for calling you a hypocrite.
I was in the heat of the moment and shouldn't have done that.
Regarding the downvote button, anyone can use it if it exists; that wasn't the issue, but rather the criteria. Because for the operator of the opinion-voter account, my post has no value, but this one https://peakd.com/@new.things/actifit-new-things-20251116t050801602z has had immense value.
I'm just asking that “the rules” be fair, nothing more.
I don’t know the rules either. That’s what my project is about.
Right now I’m liking stuff I like and disliking stuff I don’t like. That seems to be what social media is for.
I personally had not disliked your post. But then you pinged me and complained about posh token.
I then looked at your post and disliked it because I agree with the opinion-voter. You reached out to me!
Then I pinged @acidyo.
Then he read your post and downvoted it too.
What’s the deal? What’s the dislike button for? Am I not allowed to dislike something?
So I buy HIVE, power it up, and then you are telling me what to do?
This seems like a scam? Is it a scam? What do you want from me? Why the hell wont you leave me alone?
I’m going insane over here hulk hogan style and there is cottage cheese all over the place. There is strawberry scented candles and a charizard is rubbing my back.
Is this heavens or hell? What is life? Maybe it’s just like a box of chocolates but it’s covered in tuna juice.
It triggers me that people think I'm abusing hive with a project I've spent countless hours on trying to make this ecosystem worth something and get nothing but this dumb fingerpointing and potentially enabling others to abuse due to its existence.
I don’t think they believe it. It’s just an excuse.
It would piss me off too if people were openly accusing me of being corrupt and having nothing to back it up.
That’s happening to me right now? I’m being called a scammer when I have never powered down hive and my biggest sin was hitting the dislike button?
It’s all nonsense.
Welcome to the world of trying to do downvote curation, it's endless debates all the way
I’ve had very few actual debates and mostly just scammers respond.
I have people say they can’t afford electricity, that I’m a bad person, that I’m a scammer, that I’m selfish, that there is some giant conspiracy, that they don’t have time to make good posts, that they need hive to pay for their server maintenance and they don’t have time to make a proposal.
It just seems like a scam. What the hell is going on here?
HIVE is not free. We sacrifice capital appreciation in exchange for content with the HOPE, that people will write things they like, and cherish the HIVE they have earned.
That formula is broken. It’s not working as designed.
People don’t care about HIVE. They think HIVE is endless and abundant. That this is sustainable.
It’s not 🤷♂️
And I’m not making “rules” this not being sustainable is just math.
Most people here legitimately believe HIVE is a faucet and it will never end.
I don’t know who the hell told everyone that. It’s not true. It’s never been true.
This whole thing is like some mind virus / psychosis.
We sacrifice capital appreciation in exchange for content with the HOPE, that people will write things they like, and cherish the HIVE they have earned.
and not just that but that the content brings people from outside of hive to our front-ends, something close to no one even bothered to try ever since posh. That is quite literally one of the main ideas behind the author rewards pool.
instead we get autovote farming, vote selling through delegations (@eds-vote and many more potentially), authors earning rewards for no effort they'll have a super easy fun time dumping cause they got it for free, etc.
Okay, I'm not going to continue this discussion.
The dislike button exists, and everyone can use it however and whenever they want.
I only use Hive to stay in touch with other people I've met here over the last 5 years.
I don't want this to somehow become something I have to worry about.
I'm going to continue my life peacefully.
You pinged me and called out posh token for something.
I didn't downvote you first. An account I delegate to did. Anyone can do that 🤷♂️
I like talking to people. If you don't like me hitting the dislike button, reach out to me, that's fine.
But once you start accusing me and other people of something. That's kind of weird?
What did I do? Am I a free? Evidently not, you want to control my dislike button.
That's kind of weird. Do you want me following you everywhere and telling you what to like and dislike?
If you want to talk, I'm around. If you want to ping me. I will personally write you a small novel. I like talking to people.
You can write good content and make way more money. You don't. That's a choice. You are free to do what you want. Hive is free to use. No one is stopping you.
I should be able to like and dislike what I want. You should be able to post what you want.
That’s how HIVE works no? If not, please tell me what these rules are that you think exist that I’m not following?
I just pigged you because I don't know other way to talk with you.
I reached your account just because I saw that you were the only one delegating to opinion-voter.
Is there any other way I can talk to you without pinging?
You're right about starting to accuse people hastily.
I've already apologized for that.
I never intended to dictate how anyone uses Hive or its rules.
I apologize for all the mess I created here.
At least you seem like a real person.
I feel like my reason is reasonable.
I didn't like it, I hit the dislike button, that's it. It's not more complicated than that.
Opinion-voter is a manual curator who votes with their opinions (likes and dislikes)
The person is anonymous because of this situation right here.
Are you seriously this naive that you think I'm just farming hive through posh and everyone is just okay with it? What a fucking joke
Sorry but looking for the votes of poshtoken posts in all posts are 6 accounts from your projects (ocdb, acidyo, ocd, zingtoken, ocd-witness and poshtoken).
So, if we just look at these facts, we can assume that poshtoken are just farming Hive.
Sorry, this was my judgment when I saw that.
@acidyo has more stake than most people. And I will be very blunt with you, that does matter.
If Acidyo had less stake, maybe poshtoken would have gotten shut down a long time ago? Who knows? No one knows because no bought enough stake to try to stop him. People just complain and sell their HIVE. Why would so many people bitch and moan about something AND THEN turn around and give the one guy they are complaining about all the leverage? 🤷♂️
If you actually pay attention to Acidyo. He is very dynamic and always changing. If enough people complain, he will probably change it. Acidyo is very receptive to feedback even if it takes time to effectuate. This is all very normal for most people that get things done. As far as I can tell, Acidyo is one of those people.
Will me and Acidyo talk about posh token one day? Maybe. I think we already have.
I like Acidyo. I am biased. That’s why the opinion-voter was created and someone who isn’t me runs it and votes with their opinion.
And personally, I think poshtoken is kind of cool even if it uses the reward pool in a way some people don’t like.
I’m biased and I always will be 🤷♂️
If you see my bias through my actions than that just validates I’m not a bot, no one is on a list, and this is all manual. I am personally less likely to hit the dislike button for Acidyo’s projects. Because I am biased, it’s a fact.
If you want me to be a robot or a yes man, I’m not your guy.
If you want me to tell you what I think. I will, and I’m going to try to be consistent in what I like and dislike.
at this point I'd love to shut down poshtoken cause all it does is take 2-4h of my day to vote on shares that I get nothing from.
but here I am thinking the traffic it generates towards our front-ends might be worth the effort eventually... maybe i'm just retarded and should just focus on posting twice per day and ignore most of you
