HIVE is different from anywhere else I have seen. Take the traditional stock market, you buy shares and then wait for your dividends which may be paid twice a year or sometimes by the quarter. The more you buy, the greater the dividend yield, so long as the company doesn’t go down the shitter, it does happen. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/AK7xyMQ6K2jAe3doNuc7xLt1KLrNjzkLU2ioPurHvmBv88DRu5QgXn6DVZ3zVKk.png) As a new user to HIVE, you can expect dividends even if you buy **ZERO** shares. Where else in the world offers this…, tell me. If you don't believe me, look at the account of @grindle who has invested **NOTHING** into HIVE besides his time. The value of this account is **$10,833.60**, all for just posting stuff. How awesome is that? It’s taken him 5 years to get there, but time is money and HIVE is a proof-of-brain concept. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23yJAAkdkUKcX7K7ew9d7WpoVL1xGvgLBnKJmgh693B3APbCEreAWm4Ea8MearLaoiUnB.png) He's never taken anything out, no powerdowns, no HBD extraction though I have advised him to do so several times so he knows this is not pure monopoly money. For all purposes, he's the model '*free*' account. … but this is not normal. We are here for the money, and that’s a fact; I know I am. If you disagree, then start posting your shit on Reddit, you will get a lot more responses but sadly no tokens. Following on from the post generated by [@solominer](https://peakd.com/hive-104500/@solominer/is-it-okay-to-stake-the-bare-minimum-hp-and-withdraw-everything-else), [@azircon](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@azircon/top-1000-hive-stakeholders-moments-of-pleasure-years-of-pain) and [@galenkp](https://peakd.com/hive-126152/@galenkp/power-upor-no-votes) I wrote a script that highlighted **THIRTY** accounts that are currently being voted by my BOT and are powering down. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23t797teCLiguwvsJr5EjBZ3VAfGVoBL7Q3TnsUr6KL3aWqFdkmodUecsW53or9yqenDF.png) While I am generally happy to share my code with anyone, the code for my voting BOT will never be published as it contains a lot of functions to determine the weight of the vote and could be exploited, presuming your account is within the list of accounts that are white-listed. Call me paranoid, I am a cynical non-trusting motherfucker these days. ![VotingBot.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23ycq7jSfrJJydjwqbLYvgma2HVamLQYLmUCDMaGAykvt2eURvr98Tpvy7u4LK6sZm7qX.PNG) If I already follow you, you won't be on the BOT list as a portion of my voting is manual. Over 300 words and this article details very little so far, so here it comes. According to @azircon's article, it appears there are a lot of milkers on HIVE, that is accounts between 12k and 100k in staked HP and likely even more in the plankton range. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23sxpXQpjBiM2QFp3b6fmciwpUJd6rZQDC3a6zqJXu2ahR3NTJUzau5TwuWaYdnRC3F5K.png) That’s fine, do what you want, HIVE is a free system and you can post, wait for the rewards, send it all to Binance, convert it to fiat, buy the groceries, go to a brothel or even participate in a little [BDSM](https://peakd.com/@khviola). Except... I won't be voting for you anymore, and I would advise all the Orca’s to do the same. You bought your shares, and someone else is benefitting from your investment. What a weird system this is…, but that’s how it is, you vote for others and make them wealthier as well as yourself. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/Eo6RHVZEewtJeLSpVZjCy2LLzGzhqo19rf65wmMDcEm1gVZ1jgNGZ5BmYR1xqWVreAX.png) Now let's get back to the **THIRTY** users out of 327 who could get a vote whenever I fire the voting script up, which is twice a day or so. I could run it 24/7 but electricity is expensive in today's world. Just **NINE** out of the **THIRTY** will be staying on the BOT list as I figure the power-down is reasonable. My stash, my rules and that goes for us all. ![Leechers.PNG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23tcLiZk5r1JPTh5u4gbbqB13ANwna357yJsNi9eywgwun7qWzU38iyTMb77oUBZ69yHg.PNG) Some of these authors are decent, and people I interact with, but they appear to have little interest in HIVE other than taking and some of the reasons are mentioned in the image. I have little interest in calling people out, do what the fuck you want. That flippant remark appears to say I don’t give a shit anymore. I do care but only about like-minded investors. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/23wMWb9SN6zC9zwwmTCZa5V9moCn1YLeDt3TJy2vxLDQ2nKrwDom6Hf47MfzhpKvRfUSn.png) ...***'a truly model account, this is what you need to dream about'...*** In the future, I will add more AI to my BOT for determining votes. It's a great exercise in coding and will reward those who are willing to grow their HIVE stakes. On a more positive note, ...'**I am looking for good authors**' to replace those recently ejected from the BOT list. Benefits include: - Free Votes Yeah, that's about it, did you think you might get paid holidays, insurance and a pension? Don't be shy, I don't bite and, I will never call you out. If you are not a milking, all-encompassing extractor who can write something worthy then I will give you HIVE support regardless of your HP stash. ![RedLine.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/slobberchops/BqIuXs6C-RedLine.png) Do you like posting your Urbex content and photography for **FREE** on Facebook and YouTube?
