HOTSHOTS ~ 4/6/25
~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~
Hello Photography Lovers! Welcome to another curation report featuring the community HotShots! where we have compiled some of your amazing photos to show off to the world!
This edition is brought to you by @erikah. I'm happy to see so many great photographs each day. Some posts have so many good shots, it's really difficult to choose the one to be featured. Thank you for your amazing contribution and keep up the good work!
Please take some time to review the entire post and go check out the rest of the images of features you like. Since we only share one featured image of many from your amazing posts, some of the best images are within the rest of the posts and we don't want you to miss the beauty!
Plus, you never know when your time to get featured may come and we are sure you would enjoy the same level of community support! So, make sure to support your fellow photographers because without you all, this community would not be possible.
Now, after curating diligently and sifting through the community's posts, here are the curation selections to share with you all. Keep up the great work for your chance to be in the next round of curation!

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

Nobody values my post nor other users, I think hive became a monopoly
This is how much you value other people's posts. You're expecting others to vote your post, yet you voted one person the last 30 days.
To add more, this is how much you value other people's post. You got 3500 votes since you started posting on Hive and you gave out 10 (TEN) votes.
This means you cashed out half of your earnings and the other half has been delegated to Tipu, to get delegation rewards.
This is the very definition of selfishness.
Your comment also proves you have no idea what monopoly means.
Calculate my power, it doesn't reach 0.001, so I commented and voted, it's always the same monopoly cycle
You power is low, because you are cashing out your liquid Hive, which benefits you alone, no one else, plus you have delegated your stake, to get more Hive, which also benefits you, no one else. So blaming your power won't work here, nor blaming others. You support no one, apart from yourself, so be glad you get the support you get.
Monopoly support
If I offend, I apologize, but I am just expressing what I think.
It's not about offense. I just wish you could understand that what you're doing is never going to bring you anything. Taking, taking and never giving back, never supporting anyone leaves you without any support.
Those who are or would potentially vote you, have vote value, because they chose to stake their earnings and many buy Hive with their own money.
Commenting on posts is also essential, but you don't do that either. Imagine what Hive would look like, if everyone would do what you're doing. You would get ZERO votes and ZERO Hive on your posts.
And there's no such thing as monopoly support. No one owes you anything. Support must be earned and unfortunately you have done nothing in this regard. You're just posting and hoping to get voted. Imagine if others would do the same.
Look at my image I want to grow to have power and contribute to the community
Thank you so much @erikah have a beautiful day…
Sorry for my late reply. Had no electricity or internet.

Great collection! We could make a photography book, and it would be a never ending book! I am sorry that I have not been active as much as I would like lately. I missed so many good shots, I am glad that I can still see the summary here. I like to see so many photos and so different ones. Looking forward to see the next ones and the ones I missed.
