Hi there!!
Actually, this article will be registered like the post Nº500 on my profile and on the steem blockchain also. Hence, I suspect it should be kind of special. ¿Right? Well, at least, sort of peculiar for the occasion nevertheless. Therefore, from my Cranky Humorous Echo Chamber, let test together how adding a pinch of controversy on this post could be able to generate and have some value for you.

First of all, I must warn you that this is a rather dense article, despite how short this may look. In which you will have to click on each blue text that you will find throughout the post if you really have the intention & desire to reach true knowledge & awareness as the title says. Because if your laziness and your usual aversion and unwillingness to read gets in the way again feeding even more that pernicious habit.. Yeah, you better stay still right there and where you are merrily splashing. "And BTW Read The Title One More Time"
¿Are we really a real time and alive community?

I suppose that for no one is a big surprise my strong opinions and point of view against all those practices and automatisms used by these tribes and collectives that I have highlighted above in blue. Topic on which I've already written several articles on the subject. And on which occasionally I have left even more testimony through my comments here and there on other steemians posts also.
But this time, after the changes, early results in sight and effects that the HF19 application has exerted on the new behavior and manners shown by certain prominent and inflo͞oˈen(t)SH(ə)l/ personalities and characters in the steemit community so far. I feel compelled to expose it again (in the wild) for your proper scrutiny and evaluation. And consequently, also for the celebration of my 500th post.

Incentives work, but they work — you incentivize good behavior or bad behavior. And then the problem, big problem is — and sometimes will you — you can design an incentive system that is incentivizing the wrong things. You have got to end it, and end it fast and decisive. So, that’s where they made the big mistake.
FYI: I've said this before and I will say this again; I can understand and comprehend a lot of the stances that lead the most powerful & wealthy steemians to conduct themselves like they do. Those who are basically investors, heavy steem shareholders, plain cryptocurrency traders, gamblers and speculators hunting exclusively for opportunity and easy dime profits, etc, etc, etc.
¡Money Talks! you know. Then, in the core, steemit is about money, real & serious money. Money that can be earned in the way that they choose best suits their own interests. So, ¿who'd dare to judge them if they don't know how to play this game better?
If you were in their position, with your pockets merely full of money and with little time available to multiply it in what has become your only scope, passion and hobby in life to achieve it in barely 24 hours available in a day. ¿What else would you do? ¿What would be your priority? ¿Huh?
¿Wasting time reading, evaluating and consciously voting and resteeming the self proclaimed masterpieces of the pauper and needy members of the community?
¿Really? ¿Could we expect that you would also play the game with the same rules and in the same way as most of us?
C'mon! I don't think so!! But what could I know? This is clearly only the perspective of some pauper steemian who observes things from a country in decline and currently facing serious and grim difficulties even to find something to eat day after day.
Therefore, we have no choice, but to continue to fuel the hopes that someday, someday through these online communities and so called Social Networks Which Share The Profits With Their Users, we will fill our pockets with something more than fluff and cobwebs. And meanwhile, just settle for nurturing our brains with greater knowledge and experiences actually reading and consuming peer's content playing a collective fair game. Like most of us are doing on this level of the pyramid. And eventually, eventually rejoice with the greatest prize that we are allowed to enjoy this way for now: ¡Gain Pure & Solid Awareness About Our Condition! until reach the point that our status changes enough as to belong to the clubs featured in blue above and suddenly, unexpectedly, and surprisingly witness how our optics also change lenses to play the game just like them.
If you go to 1982, when Forbes put on their first 400 list, those people had $93 billion. They now they have $2.4 trillion, 25 for one. That is — this has been a prosperity that’s been disproportionately rewarding to the people on top.
Last but not least: ¡The Ethics Of It!
I have nothing against it but I didn't feel morally right about it either as it was insensitive to the authors themselves as I didn't read their work and not great for all of the struggling posters that just seeing another vote and a few cents come their way may be enough to inspire them to stick through, improve and invest in themselves. @tarazkp
So...

¡And Steem On!

Hola @por500bolos Me gustan tus artículos (aunque tengo que echar mano de google para traducir) Y también me preocupa el tema de los votos de los que damos recompensas de mierda. Yo me dedico a leer y buscar cosas que me interesan por lo que al final del día tampoco tengo tiempo de gastar mi poder de voto. Pero encuentro cosas que ademas de interesarme están muy bien escritas, y ahí llega mi problema. Encuentro post muy buenos, con muy pocos votos y muy bajas recompensas y lo único que puedo hacer es darle la miserable recompensa que puedo darle.
Esta es mi idea, si separamos el voto de la recompensa tendríamos diariamente la posibilidad de dar 10 votos con diez recompensas, pero si solo encuentro 2 artículos dignos de ser votados, por que no podría darle un voto al primer articulo pero 6 recompensa y me quedarían 4 votos y 4 recompensas. Al segundo le daría otro voto y cuatro recompensas; mi capacidad de voto para ese día estaría cumplida, pero mis penosas recompensas al menos serían más satisfactorias con el que las recibe pero sobretodo más satisfactorias con el que las otorga. Las ballenas pueden dividir el poder de su voto ¿por que los pececillos no podemos multiplicar el poder del nuestro?
Si te parece bien esta idea difúndela por el ecosistema english
¡Un saludo y suerte!
I got tagged by this post. Can you tell me where or why?
Hi @beanz. You were tagged by this post, because your article is a splendid example to show clearly how the HF19 has impacted the wrong perception & current mistaken behavior of all those who now abstain from voting or only do so with barely 1% with the false hopes to not deplete their voting power so quick. :)
As for where. Hehehe, I'm afraid you will have to read a little bit more to find out! }:)
