I was scrolling through Twitter earlier today around 3:00 am, yes 3 am and I stumbled upon a Twitter rant by @Cryptofinally.
The tweet was shared by someone I follow on Twitter and he was saying how the Hive community is bitter with Cryptofinally.
I obviously had to watch the original Twitter Video rant which is 13 minutes long.
In the video above which you need to watch, @Cryptofinally talks of how she's a Hive advocate and she's been telling everyone about it and how cool it is bla bla..
She literally says of how she's a big supporter of Hive and how she has encouraged many people to join.
The video continues whereby she claims one group of Hive whales are targeting her and downvoting her posts these last two days.
She singled out Bernie Sanders as the whale downvoting and leaving cursing and angry comments on her posts.
I cannot break down the whole video because it is 13 mins long as that would make this post so long.
I will now summarize what she said as comprehended by me,
Cryptofinally says and I quote
"Hive, your userbase is not large enough to expect traditional content creators to adhere to the late of your large stakeholders, you will not adopt under these circumstances"
She also said how she was disappointed in how many Hive users told her that this is how consensus works!!
Cryptofinally threatened to leave Hive!!!!
I have to admit that at this point I personally said fucking leave while still watching her!!!!!
I have been on the Steem/hive blockchain for 3 fucking years now and I have witnessed all the dram especially that involving Bernie Sanders.
Yes, I do agree Berne sometimes goes overboard but he always has his reason why he goes after(if that is the right word anyway) someone.
Those who have been here for long remember the Bernie Vs Haejin war, you all know what happened.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, I have been here for 3 fuking years and see how this place works.
Hey Cryptofinally, in your video you told us to check out your posts and the comments, I did check out.
Now as someone who has spent time here, the first thing I did was check your wallet!!!!
For anyone who claims to support or promote Hive or entitled to votes, their Hive wallet MUST also correspond to their entitlement!!
Now you might check my wallet to counter react on this, my wallet is almost zero and I have a power-down running!!
Since my wallet is at zero, I am not fucking entitled to any votes or support from the whales, not in any way.
On Hive being a supporter means buying Hive as it adds value to the ecosystem.
You say you promote Hive massively(which is good btw and thanks for that), but you should also have a sizeable wallet to be entitled to votes!!
Now many people might get me wrong here, but that is how shit is!
You threatened to leave Hive if this behaviour does not stop, from the comments it seems people are not bothered by your leaving.
Btw I am some random guy from Uganda, Africa who has been on Hive for 3 years so you should not get pissed !!
I read some comments and one said that you have earned 6kHP and yet your account has only 2kHP!!!!
Another person said that you do not have any curation rewards ie zero rewards, that means you do not upvote other people at all!!
I have read your posts and the community seems not to give a fuck!!
In this video and many of your posts, you are/were trying to play the victim card of Hive needs adoption shit.
I am sure you have read that that adoption victim card shit will not bring any help or sympathy to you.
Let me explain what adoption victim card is, it is saying that if this kind of downvoting(on your posts) continues then Hive will not get many users bla bla !!
Let me post this below showing you playing the victim card and a reply from one of Hive's oldest user @acidyo who manually does curation on the platform.
He was very blunt and clear here and he explained my point below of how votes are balanced on the platform.
As far as I know, in Hive if people like your content, then they will upvote it and vice versa.
There is another scenario whereby many people upvote and a few downvote your content, there will be a consensus.
In case of a scenario where you receive many downvotes and few upvotes, it means there are few people who believe or like your content.
In your example, you say that Bernie downvotes you, I am sure he is not the only one with a big stake.
So if people(many) like your content they would counter Bernie's downvote by voting for you...Is my point clear here?
Okay, let me put it bluntly, not so many people like your content as seen from the comments on Twitter and Hive!!
This is not me saying this, it is by reading through the comments.
There is this reply by @acidyo in one of your posts which you need to read again because he personally curates people and he supported you in the past.
I will repeat, the adoption victim card will not help you out here on Hive!!
The people on Hive are not easily fooled or threatened by that line.
Some other people also said that if you do not mind about the rewards, Hive has an option of declining rewards.
If you are not about rewards(which most of us deny) then deny rewards and again they gave you an option of muting Bernie..
I also read a comment by @blocktrades trying to explain to you where you went wrong and you kinda kept sidetracking and playing the adoption victim card again!
I was surprised @blocktrades took his precious time and tried explaining everything to you until he kinda gave up.
This below is one of his comments where he clearly said that people who were initially sympathetic with you changed stance!
You can read @Blocktrades replies on Cryptofinally recent posts here
One thing you can do is to buy Hive Power Up and counter Bernie's downvotes because he seems not to stop soon.
In one of the comments, Bernie seems not to be stopping now until you start creating content that deserves rewards!
"She's going to receive downvotes until she actually does something for Hive to deserve the rewards she's been handed in the past."
Another comment I read from one of your posts is that you seem to make Hive a link dumping ground!!
People claim that your posts are full of links, some even claim that 2/3 of your posts are links.
I checked out and wow, this post here had a load of referral links
Other people also say that you do not interact with the community!
If you are new here on Hive and you are reading this, people will observe you for a while and understand your intentions.
If you want to grow on Hive, you need to interact with the community, people claim that @cryptofinally only replies on her posts.
In conclusion, Hive is a different place and the rules that apply on Traditional social media like Twitter or Facebook do not apply here.
Hive is a really different place and again it involves money.
People will not allow me to earn rewards on something they see doesn't deserve it.
So my polite advice to cryptofinally(if she will see this anyway) is to follow the rules here or leave!!!
You cannot threaten people here, these folks have gone through a lot.
If Justin Sun failed, then who are you?
