I hear you and it is not right, I think DV is supposed to server as a chain defense mechanism but more then often it is misused and abused to financially penalizing differing opinions or force compliance like in my case here.
I would say maybe blurt got it right dropping the DV function but they also introduce tx fees so that takes away from the magic I would say
Blurt is a joke not a solution. You need DV to regulate spam, it’s just abused by clowns. Maybe the system just doesn’t work. Maybe the set up of the system is always going to be a failed experiment. But one thing is certain, Hive is way beyond Steemit & Blurt. I believe the biggest mistake was how the truth or conspiracy so called community was harassed and crushed with DV’s. I mean if ur gonna be the decentralized blog chain, u can’t have ur top accounts crushing speech. That leads to it being a safe just like the rest platform and wastes the whole point in being decentralized $ censorship resistant.
I enjoy the music posts and market talk, but pushing that community out just showed the top powerful here are probably just milking and circle jerking profit with no real goals if this being something big in future. We will likely continue to underperform and eventually be a penny in a couple or few cycles and growth doesn’t exist & we bleed users. I want this platform to work so bad, but it doesn’t feel like it will at moment.
