Is It Safe to Come Out and Play Yet?

avatar

Today seems like a good day to bore everyone to death with another one of my posts.  Since several people have been busy lately practicing how to push a vote button on old posts around here, it's possible many may have exhausted and incredibly sore fingers now, so I might actually get a chance to fly under the radar for a change.


NoNamesLeftToUse - Sale.jpeg

Apparently

A glitch caused money to start falling from the sky so they all ran to the old neighborhood holding their cups or whatever looking for that free beer, keg party style.  First come first serve; most are drunk within minutes; nothing left for the ones that were actually invited.

Upon arrival they discovered — even as far back as a week ago — people had been creating content, right here in the Hive thing we made.  I'm sure to some of those curators/consumers/promoters out there who'd grown accustomed to automating their support systems, seeing actual content here came as quite the surprise.

Unfortunately for me, I already knew about the content and already have money, so there was no real need for me to dive into that mosh pit of sudden care and attention to detail.

This is me we're talking about here, so of course I have other things to do.

...but it wasn't this

Gotta love a good hardfork glitch though.

I took a vacation from my vacation just to see how things would play out here.  It's important to me.

And of course that's when the weather decided to be awesome...

So because reasons, I suddenly feel like talking about the weather.  Time to switch gears.

Why does my twisted brain lead me to believe environmentalists hate the environment?  Every time they look at it, they get pissed off and want it to change.

Why not find a new hobby or thing to care about if that one sucks so bad?

It gets hot for one week in Canada and they're all like:

"Global warming!  We need to ban cars, cows, plastic straws, babies, cigarettes, crypto, kayak paddles, pie, kittens, fire, toasters, peanuts, bingo, bongos, bagels, and anyone who uses a question mark!  That'll fix Canada for sure this time!"

Is the world truly broken or have the people simply gone mad?  What changed?

Most of the time in Canada, being outside too long will bloody well kill you, because cold.

They want to take my one week of being a normal human away.  Am I only allowed to see nice weather on a screen for a few seconds during the commercial breaks trying to sell me the pills I'm going to need once the show comes back on to say we're all gonna die from wind?

I'm so flustered I almost feel like calling them a bunch of p-words.

And I never say poo poo heads!

Staying classy when it comes to my fucking communication shit while I'm all up in this bitch is something I take great pride in.  But a guy can only take so much.

I've been working so damn hard my entire life, doing everything I can, to heat up Canada, so I can be free and air my balls in January like they do in the Florida or someplace like that.

I think that's what they do there.  I've never actually been there but I have seen every episode of Cops so it seems like walking around naked in winter is only bad if you get caught.

Do that here, you'll lose your nuts instantly, and it won't be because they shot you there.

Hmmm

I feel like I'm bombing every joke I've written so far.  Did you even know I haven't been serious at any point during this ramble?

Should I even continue?  Switching gears.

I miss creating content and attempting to entertain as many as possible, daily.

Miss producing the joke art, the real art, everything in between.  Haven't touched my digital art software suite in months!

Miss a lot of folks who won't even read this because they're not around anymore.  I feel like I know thousands of you, out there.  I'm sure it's somewhere near that number.  Maybe I should put a list together and mention ten thousand people just to see what's up and say hi...

And maybe you don't know that I know you but trust me, I'm watching you.

Can't always get to your posts and vote simply because I'm not made out of money, only have ten sizeable votes per day to use, plus sleeping is kind of important, too.  And some weeks I don't even have internet access, by design.

Pro Tip: If you're one of those noobs out there who wants to receive more votes and views, I know from experience actually doing things that attract more votes and views helps tremendously so I suggest trying that first before anything else.

The support is appreciated but it makes me feel better half of that goes to the folks who decided to give me the time of day.  I absolutely love the fact my work pays consumers rather than contributing to their device addiction problem without so much as even a thank you.

Especially this year, when damn near every time I hit that post button, one hundred comments and a few hours later a little robot comes along to tell me my work topped the charts and earned the most that day.

Feels Great!

But you know damn well someone out there is giving you the evil eye...

During my first few weeks here as I was failing daily, rather than setting the goal of writing the post about how the platform is broken and you're all just a huge pile of shit, I decided within my mind that it would be hilarious to set a goal of reaching the top.

So that's done.

But now what?

The five minute voting window thing that's now been obliterated caused a lot of inner turmoil for me.  How the votes rolled in and my work shot straight to the top before people truly got a chance to look meant I had no room to fuck up, at all.

Don't you hate it when you typo 'pens' and now your work is "trending" while everyone is wondering why it says 'penis' there?  I know I do...

Thanks to all those who put their trust in me to not screw up while you vote blind and come later once I've fixed everything.

Just don't come here on Tuesday because that's the day I was planning to publish the story about masturbating in those bushes by your bedroom window. They used to laugh at me when I said I'd find a way to monetize this behavior.

Anyway.  I'm probably about as bored with this post as you are.  Don't really have much else to say but I'm sure you caught on to that by the second paragraph.  Some probably knew before they even clicked.  Most know I'm just fucking around and like to have fun.

Which is something we need more of here!

So stiff out there in content land some days.  Doom-and-gloomers galore; we're all gonna die; but suit and tie crypto guy is going long so, it must just be a lie.

Development post cheerleaders doing the fancy dances daily.  Why do they get to have all the fun...

Hive can't really be that awesome; can it?

wink wink

Have a nice day.

How about both?

when damn near every time I hit that post button, one hundred comments and a few hours later a little robot comes along to tell me my work topped the charts and earned the most that day.

Hmm, I think I might have to set a goal to meet that little robot aswell, although to be honest, I'm already tired just thinking about it. I'll just check your older posts to meet him!

Thanks to all those who put their trust in me to not screw up while you vote blind and come later once I've fixed everything.

I'm early now, only an hour in! You seem to have fixed everything. Either that, or I'm just not reading well enough. My post today isn't funny. It's serious business, I'm so sorry. Glad you're here to pick up the slack! Either way, enjoy my vote, which has regenerated just a little from the extra voting.

I can agree with "both". So much easier than arguing about things words can't solve. Though I do still yell at the clouds.

It's that achievement bot/program thing. The name is on the tip of my tongue. And that's such a stupid place to keep a name...

And I don't judge like that. Relax and enjoy your serious business. I know I do.

Hivebuzz, I like it. It challenged me to post every day last month. Had to get that badge! Gotta collect achievements and badges and such! I don't think my gamer attitude helps me stay sane... I'm not doing the daily posting thing this month. Too much pressure!

I'm not really much into those achievement things but when you get the rare one, okay sure. I don't need to be reminded every 100 comments that I made 100 comments though, and those little things like that. But I know others have fun with it, so because of that, I'm all for it.

Corners get cut during the daily grind approach. And deadlines have the word dead in them for a reason, so I don't really like those much. But people have fun with those things as well and if they can pull it off, great!

Corners get cut during the daily grind approach.

Yeah, I guess I had enough inspiration for a month, but by the end of it, I was quite happy to have a few articles written as backup, because daily writing can get a little hard and frustrating. I think there might have even been a d.buzz post that month! Although I usually leave those for my @pfshorts account. It's why I won't do the challenge again this month. Not enough inspiration or energy left. Was fun though and I think it can help someone to get the most out of themselves if it's a challenge.

#nonamesleftouse is now a trending tag? dang you got big and now a role model for aspiring vote seekers dreaming to have their own #hiveusername one day.

Linear curation is works great, now I don't feel like a moron upvoting comments being masochist to the tax. Yeah the votes are nice but now I've set some goals up higher to overlook past the votes and more about the engagement and views. It's more fun having more comments and an average of 10+ views indicated on Peakd, atleast you know someone went out of their way to check the post and even more so comment on it.

Currently spread thin when it comes to self promotion off the platform and keeping activity here but I'm just happy I shifted perspective for the better. Trending doesn't tell you a lot of people care, just tells you phat numbers made it happen. It feels dumb reading some comments like "I don't look at the trending page because it's the same authors and topics and etc"

Idk, I don't look at the trending videos or pages on other social media platforms for entertainment most of the time so baffles me why people use it as a reason why Hive on the frontend. Do these people even check the trending pages on popular entertainment sites they use? idk. Found the whining very prevalent on some parts of the blockchain with unpopular opinions.

It will be interesting to see how voting changes, some of us always did vote on comments, etc.. People are creators of habit so the changes might be slow.

I had a good laugh at all the people who constantly tell others not to game the reward pool, making posts about how to game the curation pool and also, as you pointed out.. A few who were like. Wow, I discovered we have users. LOL.

Anyway, good luck on getting back to your vacation or not, and in all seriousness, thanks for being funny, that's rare these days!

My voting habits involve me, just doing whatever, never truly caring about timing. So all I have to do is just keep doing whatever. I should be pretty good at this.

These little quips were all in good fun though. It's like they all got to play the fast money round. Or picture those people who win the one minute shopping spree. I did and it's hilarious.

My publications are generally too serious, perhaps it is the reason why not many comment, therefore I do the opposite, that is, I comment, comment and comment, in this publication I laughed many times, women would say that it is a a bit heavy, but I am not a woman and it is the reason for having fun reading the occurrences of people like you in this case, life is complicated and it is worth smiling is my opinion.
I hope you have a happy day

I never cared about if a post was trending or hot or recent, as long as it made me think, gave good eye candy, or made me laugh, that is when I would vote. I do a lot of blind voting lately, post I intend to read, but well only so many hours in a day.

For me I think because of how and when I vote on a post HF 25 will be a help. Some of the people I follow re-hive/re-blog stuff they found interesting, and then I read it and yes it was interesting. So even if it was 6 or 7 days old I would still give it a vote.

I think part of the lack of post the last week was people scared of the HF effects, this was one of the smoothest HF's, and it had a bonus glitch. I think posting will pick back up.

Yup. Equilibrium needs to find an equilibrium.

And the whole voting blind thing is just how it is. Never in a million years will that cease to be a thing. It's not unusual at all either. People always pay at the door before seeing the show.

From now on, we both will be screwed. Because from now on, I will have to read shit before voting. And we already know that I will have the misfortune of having to spot on and criticize all your typos & mistakes before you correct them. :p

How the votes rolled in and my work shot straight to the top before people truly got a chance to look meant I had no room to fuck up, at all.

Shit! then, I must consider myself very lucky. Since I have never had to suffer from that sort of pain in the balls in all the freaking five years that I've already been here. LoL };)

Those auto votes truly never bothered me. Like I said elsewhere, it's not unusual for people to pay at the door before seeing the show. But if it ever got to the point where I'm publishing, earning, but not many are showing up, I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. The views are the most important thing.

And as for scrambling to fix fuck ups. Look at this post. No edits. I've probably read it fives times since publishing. Good enough.

My favorite part's when he said he's bombing his jokes I just don't know how to say it in a non-dicky way.

Non-dan-dicky way? I can't isolate a favourite part, I like the whole post.

Thanks, @dandays. And thank you. I'm a bit at a loss for words today but just know seeing people enjoy my work and have a good time is what makes me feel good.

There's a long list of old stuff to enjoy as well. Some is serious; most isn't. It'll keep you busy though. Unfortunately, posting daily isn't something I can pull off at this time. But there will be more.

I'll be digging through your older stuff. I had that on my list already. Daily posting isn't something I can pull of either. I'll keep my eye out for when you do.

Seems you get votes no matter what you do anyway! Thanks for making me laugh on a day where I'm feeling that HIVE depression settle in so much that threatening to leave is the only option, but I won't, because I'm not that kind of twat, and I'll probably just cry onto the yoghurt I just dropped on the floor instead.

Don't let that Hive shit bother you. I'm having a bit of a day myself, but you get through it. Seeing you folks coming along, being happy, makes me happy.

Cool, friend! I want to become as good as you. Even though I'm about to quit this, your post motivated me. Thank you! :D

There was a lot of buzz about old-post-vote-abuse, but I didn't notice anything different tbh, lol.

Same with the weather, I live in Toronto and all I noticed was "hey, maybe I'll turn the A/C on, or a fan," then went about my day working on my soon-to-launch, "Beginner-Friendly Crypto Glossary."

@sn0n made a post recently about how Hive has 10k daily active users (and how that's less than many indie-games, lol)... it wouldn't surprise me if you knew all of them.

Pro Tip: If you're one of those noobs out there who wants to receive more votes and views, I know from experience actually doing things that attract more votes and views helps tremendously so I suggest trying that first before anything else.

Seconded.

and like to have fun.

Also seconded, though I'm heavily debating writing a 20,000 word guide on the concept of 'fun', since apparently quite a few people aren't clear on what fun entails or how fun is designed to work, lol.

Anyway, great to have you back, thanks for an entertaining read :) 🙏

Perfect lake weather. So far, this summer reminds me a lot of several from my youth and it's been awhile since the last actual summer. I don't take any of the currently available political positions on climate change though. Like most situations, people are products of their environment and often fail to recognize what actually is chaos all around them. Plus each side sells a lot of fear of the unknown, packaged as potential fact. And why not take a little jab at those who make up the majority, acting like experts on weather and climate, you know full well they've never thoroughly studied anything. Simply parroting. But that kinda stuff is in everything now. Some are in full denial a human could alter or poison their environment, calling it all a hoax, until they see a sizeable contrail behind a jet. Then suddenly, it's possible, and not only that; we're all gonna die!

Yeah, Muskoka calls me, lol. I also don't take any of the currently available political positions on climate change, and for very similar reasons as you've outlined. Interesting. :)

you know full well they've never thoroughly studied anything. Simply parroting. But that kinda stuff is in everything now.

Unfortunately this type of behavior appears to be quite widespread in our current society, but I'm doing my best to encourage otherwise.

lol, as always, good talk man. Much appreciated. 🙏

Do you know why it's so difficult to get through to people? You have to use the same technology and same approach that's warping minds, to tell people it's warping minds.

I totally agree. Not my favorite situation that, but I'll see what I can do. :) 🙏

Hi!

I am not sure I am more awake now than when I wrote you a comment last night. Please keep that in mind reading on.

I wanted to make clear that your answer to me last night made sense only because it was coming from you. A person that I know respects Dream a lot. Yes, I left off the other e.

Anyway. I was also having huge brain fog issues too.

What your answer told me was you were trying to help. The problem was, and now still is, I could not explain how I knew that well enough, so my reply to you publicly just looked like me sucking up to you for no reason. LOLL

I was so happy with your reply because it gave me hope that I had not misunderstood you in the time I have known you.

That is all I needed to say.

Happy real Monday!

Many things can be overlooked when an idea is presented in front of a group that all agrees with one another. Yes. I'm trying to help. At the same time, if one takes a potential problem and dismisses it as a nonissue, that's an indication other things might slip through the cracks. A poorly managed project is not something I'd want to support. A sales pitch doesn't work on me so I have to find other ways to get a feel for things. If I've pointed out something that can be countered, I've helped strengthen the project.

I agree

I have to find other ways to get a feel for things.

THIS! These are the words I was searching for when talking to Dream.

If it helps to know where my mind was when I woke up today and tried to turn on my computer, I couldn't because I had forgotten how while I slept. This is one of the reasons I have not been writing as much as I usually do.

Anyway, such is life. You learn to live with what is thrown at you or at least try.

Thank you for trying and helping!
