RE: HIVE: No Votes, No Attention - Thinking of Giving up?

I want a special one that says "Honorary members of the $0.00 club who also self-downvoted his first shitpost".

That is.. an impressive feat!

it's kind of a miracle you stuck around either way - probably thanks to @steevc's engagement and follow.

I didn't expect anything.., maybe that's the difference between now and then? @curie was about the only thing going and was the target of all newbies. I know I got their attention as one of their curators started following me.

@steevc, oh yeah.. without a doubt. I used to wait for his vote heh...

where a small % of our daily voting power goes towards curators, moderators and other initiatives

It's the same with @curie now, I don't tend to give many votes out though. I could get more HIVE if I actively looked around more.

Now without the "curation sniping" curve it's even more important, cause let's face it, most people with stake aren't going to do the grind where they're out there looking for new authors

If I find someone, especially an explorer I will promote their stuff if it's good. I have found myself at times, when looking at a post that's $70 or so.., I did that, I promoted it. It's not a boast, I know it might not get any attention if I didn't do this. Makes one feel good knowing you have made someone feel the same.

The next bull market will be crazy, hopefully we'll have a lot more options of getting into hive easier and faster and sticking with it by then.

If people would stake more and sell less it would make a difference. Skin in the game is important. People look at wallets and are judged on them. I mentioned this in my post.. the 2016 account that has a 1c vote. It's their choice but don't complain when nothing happens.
