RE: A few Snow Flurries, Last Night...
You are a 'nice sort of bloke'. haha... You are my hero. Of course, I would like to hear more of your opinion (on all things), and to know more of you.
I don't really understand all the politics, or quarrels behind the two platforms. Not interested anyway.
I thought they could have combined their ideas and make this an absolutely awesome platform. Alas, it was not meant to be.
I do the same post for both platforms because I do put in efforts for my post. (It might not seem so. ) I think they deserve more than a couple of cents. So, unless it is absolutely forbidden to double post, I will continued to do so.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers!
Your effort is apparent and you do deserve more reward for your activity- I agree. Overall participation here and on Hive can easily take hours of our time, even with casual activity... and our time has value beyond what most seem to be able to muster, if not embraced by the "right" group or benevolent individual.
Lately, my voting value has suffered an average 50% loss when up-voting others, over on hive; another' frown factor'. I'm told it is due to reward pool allocation which varies according to overall volume of voting activity. Therefore, upon payout the true value is less than 25% of what's indicated once an additional percentage is taken off the top for funding various operations...?!?!?!?
A twenty cent 100% up-vote dwindles down to approx. 5 cents. This encourages self-voting and re-publishing elsewhere to offset the difference, at least in part. That's the reason I now have no problem with authors who choose that path, and have taken to it as well.
Thank you for your understanding. :-)

Absolutely!
Numbers give me a headache. So, I actually didn't bother to look into what is how much. I only know that's how the system works, and it applies to all. That is good enough for me. haha.
NOT TRUE... The system can be, and IS manipulated on a regular basis. It's no different than what occurs in the outside world in general.
Sorry, I phrased it badly. I meant to say I know how things work - manipulation, discrimination....
Whether it is outside world or virtual world, they are run and ruled by HUMANS. So, one won't be much different from the other. Same shit different worlds. :-)
Thanks for clarifying... It isn't always easy making our thoughts/message clear with relatively short comments. I'm often misunderstood by misinterpreted strings of words too... A multi-faceted problem in virtual space, as well as elsewhere :>)
Indeed. A break down of communication or miscommunication - sometimes, it leads to love and/or hate. Sometimes, it leads to war.
If you don't understand what I am saying, that's fine. Don't hate me. And don't go to war with me over this. :-)
No sweat... Your explanation clarified any confusion I may have had :>)
Jolly good. :-)
