Every step she takes is worth 20k, at least. Of course she wouldn't come and play for 1000 people and be interested in being sprinkled with tokens.
We have to set realistic expectations :)
As a human, she's the same as us. Things weren't always this way for her. Even at the beginning, how often did she say hello to you? lol
I expect she talked to a lot of fans when she started out, but I don't know much about her.
To clarify: It's unreasonable to expect or demand anyone say hello and mingle with everyone. Doesn't matter who it is. Neighbors are all valid community members, yet how often do they all come say hello to you? Strong chance you don't know majority of them and they don't know you. Community still thrives. You wouldn't tell your neighbors to leave or work harder just because they don't say hello to you, or act like they don't belong there because you don't know one another. If you did, you're being a dysfunctional community member, causing problems in the neighborhood.
This is a community. Synonymous with city. We have plenty of examples of how those function in the real world, so this should all come naturally to people.
Some of the most successful people in the world, bringing tremendous value to communities, have never said hello to you. It's something to think about.
Some people here create the vibe they think they are "The Hive Community" and everyone else here is an outsider until those "outsiders" adhere to "The Hive Community code of conduct."
Naturally, that would creep people out. It's archaic and dysfunctional.
There are lots of different scenarios where people relate to each other. I can't say I know my neighbours too well and have no say in what they do.
Can we even say who runs the Hive community? A lot of the whales don't get too involved, but some with big stakes or delegations will use them to impose their own 'code'. We ought to be acting in the interests of the platform as a whole, but some enjoy that power.
I've seen someone today getting pissed off with the 'police' and their rules. He's been around for years, so should know what to expect, but new people may be surprised/shocked.
Not one individual here can say they speak for "The Hive Community."
They can certainly speak for themselves.
I've been here for nearly a decade. I'm looking at this one particular scenario and seeing it play out quite often. People are grumbling again because others signed up. Published some great content. In this case music. And rather than appreciating that, the artists get picked apart, behind their backs but out in the open, basically the makings of being ostracized.
So they come along, see the post, and read the comments. There they are doing that "engagement" thing they're "supposed" to be doing.
Leave feeling unwelcome and disrespected. They might even make the mistake of thinking those individuals have leadership qualities or seniority.
I study this, I see the same pattern, often. I think things like: Where did they get the idea not engaging is a way to discredit someone?
Archaic and dysfunctional hive culture is the answer. Clearly that behavior isn't productive but if you get enough engaging in that behavior, it becomes the norm.
And when society thinks something is normal, the behavior could be destroying the community, but they'll never be able to see how, continue to do it, and blame "The Outsiders" for all the problems.
Hive is life in a Petri dish.
I've been here a long time. I've met and talked to some of the big guns. They are just people with opinions. There are some actual trolls, but they are pretty rare really.
I've spoken to thousands of people here. Tens of thousands have stumbled into my thoughts. I don't see "big people" and "little people." I just see people. From all walks of life. I don't get lost in the Hive bubble or expect people to be any different here than what we'd see on Earth. HP and rep number means nothing when it comes to defining character.
People lost in the Hive bubble or that archaic and dysfunctional Hive culture; some walk around calling themselves "little people." Grown adults who would never act like that in life, convincing themselves and attempting to convince others they are "little."
I'd call that "flexing your weakness." Some will use that to manipulate and gain from others.
These "big guns" or "big people" you've described. Rarely flexing. Rarely trying to knock people down. If they did, that would also be a display of one "flexing their weakness." Some will use that to manipulate and gain from others.
It's all the same. Some are trolls, some are not. Everyone here is just a regular human going about their day. Nobody is special. Nobody is perfect.
