All hail the almighty blogger ecosystem — Where each blog-post is a masterpiece of wordsmithing, rewarded with the most scrupulous of upvotes! Glory to the laborious curators, combing through every syllable-weave with unbiased passion, carefully selecting the most worthy to be graced by their reblog. For you see, reader, quality and value are not subjective at all — oh no — they are defined by the most rigorously fine-tuned formula of content assessment known to mankind! This blogtopia is truly a place of enlightenment, where your post will be revered and recited for months if not years — "ah, what an opus she keyed!" they would exclaim, overwhelming her with the weight of their thought-provoking comments so much, that her hands would tire in attempt to reply in an even more soul-pouring manner. How lovely it is to wake up each glorious afternoon to the most delightful array of topics that peak my interest, with such provocative delicacies as "Will Bitcoin Reach $150K?" or "我的大金锭子和跑车呢？"
Whaaat?! How dare you even suggest?! — Sir, We here, are all natural writers and avid readers who penned thousand-word tomes for decades without any incentives other than personal fulfillment and occasional respect of our peers — who, as I already mentioned, award us solely based of the proven merit of our blogs and not any kind of favoritism! There are no political games here, no drama — our work speaks for us — no 'tit', and certainly not 'for tat' here, sir.
And the audacity — to insinuate that content creation and curation is a mere mechanism devised by the Hive algorithm for value-preservation! As if we need that wallet to keep us here, and all these dApps designed to 'gamify' the experience - as if blogging is not exhilarating enough! For all we know, Hive could drop to zero and still, someone will publish the most insightful review of Fight Club, once a month, and we're here for it!
Economy-shmeconomy! It's quality blogging first. Socializing — is allowed. Payout — perhaps, but that's just the charry on top.
Oh no, yeah, they definitely still need to power-up though, LOL.
Black and white photography? How about White on Black text, bitch?! For what is an image if not a thousand stolen words? It's as if they're taking pleasure in starving readers for words. We can only pray this whole thing doesn't simply collapse because of such vulgar practice as visual content — Opting for quick 2D fix, when they can have a 4D experience of writing, reading, imagining, and suffering. Oh right, the Thumb — sorry forgot about that... No, yeah, definitely still need at least one image.
