Everyone is free to have their own criteria for (not) upvoting any content. I don't check the ratio, but some others do, and curating initiatives might have implemented it as one of the parameters to check.
And I understand it - supporting a person who withdraws most of the rewards is hardly the best approach in the long term - you want to build up a community, not a bunch of people who have it as a side hustle, and don't really care.
Your HP is your skin in the game.
You do not need to explain skin in the game to me. I am six years into Hive and a crypto investor beyond it. The point is, no one has ever even explained the rules that this ratio expects people to play by ... or be punished, Krampus style.
Anyone can vote as they will. I don't explain my upvotes to anybody; do you?
There was an account called Plonkety Piano that used to terrorize and mock people with the "wrong KE" until some whales went and killed it -- bigger DV take smaller DV. But I mention murderous ideation and Krampus to purpose ... I looked at who funded and upvoted PP.
That was not the message of my snap, and not even something I'd support.
I only said curators care about the ratio, and if people feel underrated, that might be the reason behind.
I know you intentionally would not support it, but pointing to KE as a legitimate metric without knowing that is what was intended for the people falling to the side of it is not a mistake I wanted you to make.
I did not say it was a legitimate metric.
I merely say curators started taking it into consideration. It was a brief, informative snap. Not preachy or judgemenal, not supporting any side.
Who anybody upvotes is their business, but we need to be very careful what we espouse when literally devilish ideas are in play. As a crypto investor at large, I can tell you: Hive does not need any more bad publicity, and Krampus and Plonkety Piano are THE WORST.
