I want to say again that it's better for Hive project teams to first shoulder expenses for their app development, hosting, maintenance, and communication (among others), then create Hive proposals asking for (enough) compensation !INDEED. 🧘‍♂️

I wonder how often you notice the Hive account that is run by a bot which curates all comments (and posts) of Hive accounts that have voted for the Return Proposal and have not voted for the "spam fighter" proposal. 🤯

I also wonder which (influential) person here on Hive would start such conversation right here on the Hive blockchain (as a post) about creating a Hive Proposal which will either quickly burn most or all the funds on the Decentralized Hive Fund or one that will use the HBD funds to buy and burn HIVE tokens. 🤓

Yes, after watching how it has often been done over time, I agree with that. Give, then receive, not the other way around.

I haven't noticed it actually, since I haven't voted for the Return Proposal yet.

That's a good question, but at this point I'd love to see it, and quite soon. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder what would make you vote for the Return Proposal, as voting there would help increase the threshold for all "real" Hive Proposals to get funded, and therefore help with saving HBD from the Decentralized Hive Fund. 🤔

It would be surprising if one Hive Witness from the Top 20 would initiate that talk. 🤯😅

Part of the reason is that I don't want to make it any harder than it is for projects to get funded, but the projects should also not ask for ridiculous amounts of funding, and they need to be bloody verbose in how they're using it, and the timelines involved. Since the whales control the voting anyway, my puny vote wouldn't make much difference yet.

Agreed. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Thanks for the explanation! 🤗 In my case, I just vote for any Hive Witness or Hive Proposal (including the Return Proposal) which I like to support, even if my vote is way below 1% of a Hive Whale's vote, not to mention multiple Hive Whales !INDEED. 🤯😅

You got it, you're most welcome. That's good, and that's what I was doing up to this point. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Perhaps more people on Hive (especially new ones and those who have little Hive Power) should be encouraged anyway to vote for their preferred Hive Witnesses (and Hive Proposals), as multiple Redfishes and Minnows (and Dolphins) can match or even surpass one or more Hive Whale's votes !INDEED. 🧘‍♂️

True, and indeed, though it would take a heck of a lot of redfish and minnows, even dolphins too, to even come close to whale votes. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
