Haters gonna hate!
It's no secret that people around here loathe Steem. During the hostile takeover I personally advised @jrcornel to dump it all, but he wanted to hodl everything, wait and see. While I didn't agree with that decision, I did respect it. Holders gotta hold.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEbhRKVH8bo&ab_channel=IsaacMiller
This guy was told in the comments to dump Bitcoin SV,
Like... why is holding such a big deal? HODL!
HODLing is a big deal!
Again, this is tribalism at its finest. We have our tribe, and we engage in toxic competitive zero-sum behavior, all the while justifying this as legitimate support for our team.
We win, you lose.
There are so many salty wounds out there when it comes to the Steem/Hive dynamic. Everyone is on the lookout to make sure no one is supporting Steem at Hive's expense: that's why @jrcornel is currently being flagged to zero.
@jrcornel blog content
Mostly focused on the speculative and financial side of the industry, @jrcornel writes multiple short posts a day about these topics. To some this is interpreted as reward pool abuse.

@jondoe
So @jrcornel entered into the LEO general chat the other day and someone asked him if @jondoe was his alt account. It is. There is a perception that Hive and LEO are being sold for Steem and that obviously ruffles a lot of feathers. That's not what's going on here.
@jrcornel is a heavy trader. He makes a lot of trades in all directions. Steem is an absolute cash cow right now because the value of SBD is so high. If he's farming anything, it's Steem. Hive has always been the network with the most long-term promise. We've have many many private Discord conversations to that effect over the last year. Still he likes to gamble, and he likes to yield farm. Let's be honest, who doesn't?
HODLER!
He holds at least 250k Hive and 37k LEO. We are at the foothills of a mega bull run. Is now really a good time to be flagging holders to zero? Personally I would say that now's actually a good time to give people some slack rather than tightening the belt, but that's just me. Trim the fat when it needs to be trimmed: the doomsday bear market of 2022.
Collateral Damage!
@sportsncoffee and @jrcornel once sent tokens to Bittrex using the same memo! That means they are the same person, right!? Add this innocent user to the list of needless collateral damage: downvoted to zero! Why follow up on these things when you can click a button to "handle it"?

No dialog: Wolves attack!
So yeah I guess there really is no discussion here. No one will listen to @jrcornel's side of the story and apparently many have simply unfriended and ignored him on Discord. Seems childish to me but I make that claim with limited information.
Too many posts! Too much reward milking!
Here's the thing guys: proof-of-brain. The idea is that we reward posts that bring value to the network. This can run contrary to decentralization if certain accounts are posting a lot and getting votes. The solution? Don't upvote posts if you think they have little to no value. It's not hard. If they do have value don't complain that some users bring more value than others. Welcome to the real world.
To an extent this is also more of a networking issue than one of value generation.
I have personally advised @jrcornel to try and write less posts that will subjectively be regarded as being "higher value" at least till this little feud blows over. Wouldn't want to have another @kingscrown on our hands.
Conclusion
I wrote this unsolicited. Looking at my Discord DMs, @jrcornel is probably the person I talk to the most on private channels (interestingly enough). We have a lot to talk about. Crypto and finance are very interesting and exploding with data.
With all this being said, @jrcornel is a net gain for the platform, and flagging him to zero is overall detrimental to both Hive and LEO. Yeah, I get that posting so often and holding a lot of Steem can be extremely triggering, but at the same time is it really so much to ask to start a conversation before moving in guns-a-blazing?
The Hive/LEO police got a little carried away with this one, as is often the case. On a certain level everyone knows that flagging all posts for the last week to zero over a reward disagreement is extreme at best. Chill out a bit.
He's taking a big risk holding Steem.
He's taking a big risk holding Hive.
He's taking a big risk holding LEO.
Gamble Gamble.
Certainly I can't force anyone to do anything, but I just thought this issue should be brought to light a bit. Time is the great equalizer, and these things usually have a way of working themselves out eventually. Feel free to add any more information in the comments below. Deuces!

I am one of the faithful @jrcornel voters, and that's because I value his content. I vote on every one of his posts. Have you read his timeline? It's one of the highest quality content timelines here, in my opinion, of course. And what's the beef if he faithfully votes me? Who are these people to think they can tell other people who to vote for and who not to vote for?
Oh, and if you take notice, since you have highlighted it, I, like @sportsandcoffee, am not following anyone either, but that's because my follow list got wiped out when I was trying to create a blacklist - @blocktrades has promised me that it will be fixed - maybe it's the same case here.
This really looks bad. It looks like a vendetta witch hunt.
Who has the right to dictate what others do with their money? When you think about it, this kind of activity could forever negatively tarnish HIVE - I mean, where in other cases nobody knows how much you have or don't have . . . anonymity . . . maybe people will think twice about joining a community where all of a sudden they could get lynched (I read the comments on his last post, and nobody gave him even the slightest opportunity to defend himself - in fact, the impression one gets is that the attack was totally premeditated).
This is very sad indeed. The main reason why I don't like downvotes - if you put a destructive instrument in the hands of destructive people . . .
. . . and we all know that there will always be destructive people.
@acidyo, @howo, @blocktrades, and like thinkers, we've got to get rid of negative incentives!
Never understood the @kingscrown persecution either, especially after he apologized (did he have to kneel instead?) - the lack of camaraderie, compassion, understanding and fairness being exhibited here is unbelievable. It almost feels like Steemit all over again.
I don't like slander, so yes, I will defend myself, even against the most petty of things, and especially when someone is so dumb as to do that while putting their own glaring deficiencies in the spotlight. You fool no-one, not even with your juvenile bating. My job is to shut you up, or at least show intelligent people what an idiot you are. Otherwise, they just might believe you. Get it? I didn't ask you to come here with your chip on your shoulder, now did I? I don't even know you. Haven't spoken to you in my life. Haven't even seen mention of you before, and you come here with your lightweight, 2nd division criticisms and opinions? Yes, I have the need to expose the impostor before us, no matter how petty, and especially when . . .
By the way, a less convincing argument, one that equally makes a fool of you, is the rhetorical question about whether you ever bother to change a spelling mistake or are you one of the "purists"?
Since you make me sick, and since I'd really like to end this "thread", I decided on the more powerful argument in hopes that you'd feel a little less shameless, but I get that with you, there's no shame to be found, and I'm just going to have to give you the last word, for however false it may be - of course, everyone reading, by now, will know that anyway. So go ahead. Have at it. Hopefully it'll make us laugh.
And that pretty much goes for everyone else who has the need to imitate this retard. Don't know why these nobody's come out of the woodwork at this time or how many more of you there are, but I'm not playing anymore, so, have at it. Hopefully you'll be just as good, and just as funny as gank.
Wouldn't it be better just to start your own thread with a post of your own? Get it off your collective chests like that?
Okay. Toodaloo!
> Take a look at how @smooth has "concealed", if you want to call it that. And that's just to get started. If you wanted, you could spend half a lifetime tracing everyone's funds.
I know he has multiple accounts, as do I. That was never the issue. Beyond that you'd have to elaborate.
> I consider it to be a matter of personal privacy, and here we are policing individual privacy (and property for that matter) - the very lot of us who "champion" the private nature of crytpo.
The reward pool is a public commons allocated by votes, the blockchain is a public content database. When competing for either finite resource publicly, that is the blockchain itself, and rewards, you are in fact NOT entitled to privacy, and pending rewards ARE NOT your property. You want assured privacy, there are other blockchains for that.
> I detect a lot of jealously as well.
From whom, from me? Of what? His prose? His wallet?
> The downvote has got to be eliminated, or else this platform will degenerate into a miserable circle jerk.
I think the opposite is true. Want proof? Downvoting and community policing has been what has eliminated much of that activity. I invite you to look at STEEM (https://steempeak.com/@wisdomandjustice). That being said, Blurt is waiting for you with open arms if you seek a version of the blockchain that has no downvotes.

> The problem is that in this case nobody is taking anything from anybody.
If you're getting paid something from the reward pool here on HIVE in nearly all instances that means everyone else would be most likely making "less" to accommodate this..
To state that someone taking in network inflation in the form of HIVE/HBD payouts for shitposting, or getting HP for running a witness isn't "earning" (or, you know, removing) anything from the network and thus with almost pure certainty other users is a longwinded fallacy. I'm unfamiliar with the advanced mental gymnastics of logic required to make the reality of what was stated above converge on any other outcome.
For example... An individual would have to be running some seriously deluded perceptual cherry picking to see someone filling up a bottle / container with water from a stream and then adamantly claim that the individual they'd just witnessed had not taken anything... Even when it's 100% quantifiably provable there is less overall volume of water in the original source, as what was captured in the container was removed from the source..
Right?
Truth be told.. And albeit an "unpopular" opinion... Honestly HIVE doesn't need more bloggers, the whole paying out inflation for shitposts is something that should be served from a second layer (LEO is a peng example of this) as from my study over 5 years of being involved with this system has concluded that basically all the content produced on HIVE is trash. I'm trying not to come off as brash but let's collectively face it. Most content here is shit. We don't need more people coming here and contributing basically tasteless word soup to end up rewarded for it and then to allow them make off with something of actual value for something that majority of the time produced no actual value for the network.
Sure, not EVERY post is shit, the odd art post might be unique or someone's vacation photos are entertaining for about three quarters of a second but when you start looking at the actual metrics of users actually reading the shitposts here, basically nobody is actually reading most these posts, and frankly no one in their right mind has time in the day to wade through the fucking septic field that is HIVE's daily created content.
Note that this isn't directed at any one user here on HIVE. Plenty of you write posts I'm sure the odd person reads but for the most part the content quality and subject matter covered by bloggers here is trash. Majority of it going basically unread, auto-voted far beyond any sense of it's true value (hint: not often > 0) and serves only as a landing strip for rampant circle jerk voting clicks to occur.
No one is lynching anyone with downvotes, no one is entitled to fucking anything, including any perceived earned value that may have been a brief state in a decentralized database for a few block iterations.. God the fucking drama that supposedly fully grown ass men devolve into when a flag gets placed is downright comical.
I've flipped shit too getting flag in the past.. but generally getting fucking flag bombed is a feedback mechanism from one or many users of the community.. If you're getting flagged repeatedly, chances are you fucked up or are conducting yourself in a way in which the person on the other end could justify going "You know what? Fuck that guy.".
Also take note of this... Frankly if you're creating content and posting it multiple times in multiple places it's not because you really want people to see your totally groundbreaking writing that will surely end up remembered as one of the great classical texts of our age... It's because the shitposter is being opportunistic while trying to maximize their profit vs time spent creating the generally garbage string of words they commonly refer to as posts. It stands to be universally realized that as the supermajority of blog posts are essentially absolutely needless fucking drivel that people use to justify having their buddies bukkake circle jerk upvote it.
Frankly I don't give a fuck about blogging here on HIVE as the whole distribution model has been all but entirely proven to create unfavourable constant downwards price pressure do to people TAKING value from the site with their content, and certainly not actually providing anything of any value to anyone (minus the odd fringe case).
Honestly will not shed a tear when we're a few hardforks down the road and the witness committee finally comes to super majority vote that HIVE and HBD as blogging rewards be removed entirely and moved onto competent side communities. HIVE should be a utility token with as limited as inflation as possible to not saturate and devalue the token against it's market cap.
Tired of getting fucking tagged in mass lists by people and their buddies who honestly think they're entitled to receive compensation in the form of HIVE / HBD to then go ahead and sell it to increase the market cap of the chain we literally had to fork away from in an emergency situation to prevent further theft from Sun Yuchen.
Honestly if you don't like getting flagged for being viewed as a greedy leech profiteer contributing nothing of any true intrinsic value, yet acting as if you're entitled to everything, Fuck off. Go fill blurt or steem with your garbage ass content and come back later when you're ready to actually fucking contribute to the community instead of honestly believing you're doing the chain a great service posting here when in reality you're just wasting fucking disk space on my and all the witness nodes SSDs and leeching the market cap.
/me drops mic
Don't fucking @ me.
I own two, the other is totally dormant.
I don't need more than one. I've always come right out and said it: I upvote my own work because I think it deserves it! I don't hide behind anything, and much less nonsensical rationalizations. I upvote who I damned well please with 100% upvotes on posts, and 50% on comments (usually) even though it makes no financial sense at all since the rewards curve punishes voting comments and encourages 'piling on' the heavier upvoted posts (which flies in the face of common sense in a social media where people just want to 'engage' in the comments with friends i.e., like thinkers). It's that simple, just having a bit of fun and spreading the wealth among friends (is anyone really serious when they talk about going out and curating "quality content" when they're really voting on recipes and sunsets?). What's with these people who have such a complex that they think they shouldn't self-vote?
Lots of 'issues' here on HIVE, and too many depend on undependable people, IMO, who've got the world upside down, again, IMO. And when that lack of intelligence comes with a total lack of decency and social justice, you find that you don't even have a base to work with.
Your description is accurate, but so predictable that it's boring - a total waste of time. The world has been reduced to memes. Funny, to think about it, it's about the only thing I'm posting right now. 😜
And I could give a rat's ass who has what accounts or how many they have or what they are doing with them.
It takes all types to make the world go round, but the 'leaders' here have yet to discover that terribly frightening reality. 😬
And they won't ever change. The die is cast. The HIVE and it's extremities you see today is the HIVE you'll see in 5 years, if it's still around . . .
But don't let me rain on your parade. Keep on having fun here. I'll be following along, just for fun too, and I might even surprise you with a meme or two from time to time. Seriously. 😎
And the more off topic, the better, right? 🤣 🤣 🤣
I know you'll agree that there's nothing more appropriate!
Edit: provoking paranoia is fun, I mean, it can be funny, often hilarious, but you've got to be mean, and I try to keep a lid on the dark side. Mercy tends to win out in my case.

Let's delve into the Builda whale farm on the Hive, Gogreenbuddy, who is also colloquially known as the Marky mark USAINVOTE UPMYVOTE IPROMOTE and 100's more if not thousands this individual has asserted that his intentions behind this initiative are driven by a desire to contribute positively to the community. Now, let's explore what he is earning on a monthly basis from this venture. income is said to be generated through the use of multiple alternative accounts, which he utilizes to cast votes in favor of his own shit content. The community seems to have mixed feelings about this practice many are scared to speak up.
Are you ready to delve deeper into this topic and uncover more insights? If so, let's proceed. It's time to wake up and gain a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe
On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues
lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming
There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users
Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever
Reply to @crimsonclad
Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE
The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way
Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL
We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content
Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic
