This is a great time to learn of the dangers of centralization of power.

Many months ago I was firmly against the practice of SP delegation. The power of many minds was converted into one vote. That one vote was then used to support things like plagiarism and false advertising. People were not free to decide. Instead the responsibility to decide was placed into the hands of ONE, and since only ONE could decide, everyone else had to deal with the consequences of that decision.

The content on the platform was terrible. That content being supported by things like bid bots and delegation pools turned eyes away. Eyes are the most valuable asset when it comes to a content production platform. People put short term profits ahead of EYES and we all watched the value of everything we worked to achieve plummet.

Now we have proxy voting. Similar to SP delegation pools. It's CENTRALIZED power. The one at the top made the decision, and now everyone else who FORFEITED their responsibilities has to suffer the consequences.

This proxy token group voted in support of centralization. That was YOUR decision. That's what YOU wanted.

The proxy token group actively participated in a Sybil attack on a blockchain. That is what YOU wanted to do.

You got EVERYTHING you wanted. Majority of the community was forced out, due to YOUR decisions.

Now money is involved and suddenly you feel like you're being treated unfairly?

How does that even make sense?

The majority took the brunt of the impact, and was forced to leave. You're free to stay here on Steem, as "winners."

You centralized your power. You voted for centralization. Centralization is clearly what you want. So have it. It's yours. Why are you even interested in Hive? That's not what you voted for. Is it because of the money?

You made your call. You got what you wanted. Enjoy it. You win.

Now you can have everything you wanted. Don't want downvotes? Get rid of them. Want short term profits? Have them. Start noticing the platform becomes unsustainable. YOUR PROBLEM. Noticing nobody is consuming content. YOUR PROBLEM. Just deal with it the only way you know how.

Also, making it about race is disgusting. Every human is capable of making a decision and every human must deal with the consequences of said decision. I'm currently dealing with the consequences of my decisions. I don't have a problem with it. Good day or bad day. Positive or negative. One must always deal with the consequences.
