I'm not even checking. I always thought buying votes was bad for Steem and it's still going one. Less of it on 4ive (can I mention it?) so far.

I had a quick look and they are selling votes. The stake that is used is Freedom's -hostage stake. it is all a bit LOL.

This post is definitely not typical. Trending rarely seems to be community driven as the whales will decide who gets there. I see some people buying sizeable votes to get up there. I don't flag them any more on Steem. Not my problem any more.

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

We are still regrouping, people are still figuring out who is left and what direction to take.

The movement is growing, but overall you are clearly right. The Hive group has been crossposting, milking and interfering as well. As their influence declines, we are starting to find out who is here and interested on giving it our best shot for a while.

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

I wonder what you will be left with when the Hive crowd move on. The community and how they engage is as important to me as the rewards.

It is hard to resist baiting Steemit with their vacuous posts :) I guess I could get frozen out if I take it too far. I'll get on with powering down.

Oh, and censorship still stinks!

Keep Steeming on.

$0.00

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

Freezing people's assets sucks, censoring people sucks... suing people sucks.

So much stinking...

Who knows what will be left.

by the way, I'm powering down on both sides, but I am not leaving for 9 weeks and maybe not then if things start to be handed back to the community.

While I disagree with much of what is happening, I also understand SteemIt, Justin, feels the need to protect himself from a hostile group that touched his stake pre-emptively.

Hey, @whatsup.

I really like the 100 days of Steem movement.

I like the idea of it, and so far the implementation, particularly the challenges since it gives us all something we can post about that has a good chance of being seen, and not just by the steemcurator account.

I have noticed a decrease in upvotes all around, and not just on the ones that could be referred to as milking. With the curation trails that were here largely moving over, along with a significant amount of the higher SP accounts, that's leaving those of us who are still trying to make a go of STEEM to curate and upvote. So, for a bit, anyway, other whatever help the steemcurator accounts might provide over the next while, it's going to take more of us curating the content that we like.

re: frozen stake

Me, too, on both chains.

$0.11

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

Yes, to everything you said. We need to develop curation accounts again.

menerva (61) · 5 years ago

"For the 13 week power down I"ve made a decision to stick with Steem, because it takes no action to stay where I am. I'm looking forward to a point no one's stake is frozen and the majority of effort and conversation is on the future and not on yesterday's battles and politics."

I think i'm with you. We do have some clean up to do eg., discuss how to decentralize the governance further, what to do about steeminc's stake going forward etc. but seems like we have taken the right first step.

This has also been an opportunity for me to find and connect with existing users that i havent met before. It's been pretty refreshing.

In my opinion there is no justifiable reason to touch anyone's stake ever.

It was an attack or a hostile take over IF you feared new stakeholders who owned stake.

I believe both blockchains will follow a trend of distance each day passing by. Right now on Hive nothing exciting happens and is mostly the status quo.

The powerdown period is very long so if STEEM can get somewhere and will get updates constantly it's possible to just power it all up again and be back in no time.

Absolutely. Currently, I have a partial power down on both chains. Shouldn't they compete for investors? :)

What do you mean by milking?

$0.00

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

Those how are trying to extract as much out of Steem as they can on their way to hive, because they feel entitled to take on the very behaviors they fought agasint before.

$0.00

moeknows (60) · 5 years ago

Hmmm...ok. It's just kind of weird because on the other hand, as long as I have known you on the here I always thought you advocated for people to use their stake however they felt was right.

I get what you're talking about, I guess. I saw that darthknight was doing some comment selfvotes, so I could go along with considering things like that milking. However, I can't lump crossposting in on that. Many of us hold stake on both platforms. Why would posting on one stop is from posting the same content on others? Many here make youtube videos and post on Steem. Would that also be considered milking?

As for me, I will continue posting my content on both platforms. Some folks are here only. Others are there only. Many are both, as am I. I would be a fool not to be not to utilize both platforms regardless of how I decide to distribute my stake between them.

$0.00

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

I have no problem with decent people cross posting!

And I do advocate for using stake how one likes. But it was clear some are literally trying to mess the place up.

acesontop (71) · 5 years ago

That's exactly what I noticed today as well. Finally the trending page is starting to look decent. On the other hand the hive one is starting to look a bit like the old steem one. I honestly don't want the bad for neither platforms. I feel that there is room for plenty of such platforms and that's mass adoption. The more the better.

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

By choice or default we are all invested in both! So, I agree... I hope they both do well and I also hope they both develop their own personalities

$0.00

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

Well that's an improvement. Looks like they finally woke up. Meanwhile other accounts are still censored, which is not so good. The petty vendetta of Steemit against the former community witnesses makes them look very bad. That is part of why I can no longer recommend the platform to anyone. Sad, but true.

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

I'm don't like it either and also would not recommend anyone buy in until that gets resolved.

I also on the other hand have very little sympathy for those who don't like having their stake frozen, but think it is okay to freeze other's stake.

I can understand it from JSun's perspective, but I agree... it's not a good look.

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

There's this tit for tat argument going around, but the witnesses did unlock Justin's stake. He was first to say that locking it was wrong, so it looks hypocritical for his puppet witnesses to do it. Let's not pretend they have any independence.

Once I've powered down I'll probably stop checking on Steem. With my limited time I have I focus on where the better community is.

Wishing you all the best.

I'm glad those pinned posts finally went away. They were getting a bit too "stale" for my liking.

I'm in no particular hurry to make some "either/or" declaration concerning the two chains. I expect they will develop their own personalities. I'm a content creator, not a politician... if I can fit into a niche both places I will; if one place ends up taking off a great deal more than the other... I'll direct my energy at where the activity is happening.

I'm still waiting for the absence of all those whales to make our votes go up.

whatsup (75) · 5 years ago

Oh yeah, just because they can't be seen on the front end doesn't mean they aren't milking as hard as they can.

Each week if they are true to their word it should be reduced.

freebornangel (73) · 5 years ago (edited)

I wish I could say something positive about that, but they seem to be replaced by others equally, if not moreso, greedy.

I'm still of the opinion that dumpers, especially at this price, should not be getting rewards voted to them.
We are cutting our own throats when we do that.

muscara (67) · 5 years ago

Must be lonely on top... No one coming by to write a comment, not even to say something like "nice pictures!" or make a comment about the Splinterlands-cards.

That's the worst thing about the blockchain (be it Steem or Hive) - how can we talk about being a community if we don't talk to each other? Getting no votes isn't fun, but looking at posts with no comments, wouldn't we all prefer for some people to have left half of their vote and wrote something instead?

enginewitty (72) · 5 years ago

Actually been seeing much better rewards on authors that have been overlooked for quite awhile. Not myself, seems I'll always stay that way bwahahahahaaa! But, I was not a huge fan of the .8888 so have backed off a bit until some more democratic things are put in place. I'm powering down a little over half, but not because of Hive. A stimulus check isn't going to cut it.

clixmoney (76) · 5 years ago (edited)

The trending is nice because we can find there regular steemians not only those whith power. The content matters !

Totally forgot there was a "trending" page. I never looked at it for the last 12-18 months because the posts could either be bought with bid bots or it was the same accounts posting the same steem centric stuff. Truth be told, I don't look at trending on any social media site, Twitter, Facebook etc.

I am only interested in the people I follow and what's in my feed so if someone reposts/shares something and I see it and it looks interesting, I'll have a look. Plus I don't even know how to see the trending page on steempeak anyway haha!

Hmmm. I was thinking it might be due to the ninja-mined stake that was no longer in circulation. Or that they altered the pay-out formula.

In the first few days it seemed to me that most people would move to Hive but now it looks like many have either remained or are on both chains. Perhaps as you say, not that many actually moved so there are fewer posts and less money to pay out. I wonder what the actual statistics are?
