This term “circle jerk” on Hive is repulsive.

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it if the people who are sharing votes are also voting for others outside of the circle. I’d expect that the votes are for decent enough content as well.

What everyone calls “circle jerk” is really just a small circle of people supporting one another like a sports team would.

How do athletes succeed? How do musicians succeed?

People need to stop slapping hostile words and phases on positive actions to control or shame others.

Agreed. The term and ones like it sexualizing networking or network effects or the use of ones own stake as you see fit are ignorant, crude and inappropriate. Decentralization and self sovereignty aren’t defined by anyone’s whims or beliefs. They are clearly defined and can’t be conveniently ignored when someone disagrees with what people write or who they vote for. That’s what freedom is about. People say they support freedom, but do they really, or do they only support people exercising self sovereignty when they agree with what’s said or who is supported. I think the later, and that’s a bigger problem then all the issues the censorship is suppose to fix. .
