yeah weaponized downvotes are a huge problem. It needs a hardfork to fix the mechanics itself. Is like Religion groups or competitors would downvote each other. Pretty Retarded.
Also a downvote overwrites someones Upvote, rewards doesnt come from nowhere. So someone did value a meme or whatever and somebody else doesn't and overwrites it.
So the one with Hive voted it up is also unhappy. Means less people power up. Like myself. Is retarded to power up and play the game. I would love to support meme and fun, but as soon i power up 100k or 200k, some cartel would downvote the meme and fun ppl.
They destroy the value for themselves. With ppl here not for crypto and money the price more stable. Is also no freedom of speech more like reeducating people on what they can say or not.
Covid, only one Opinion was allowed; others shut down and downvoted. Same on other world events.
Maybe we see 2 cent Hive, this would force to change or go into the abyss.
Millions of hive powered down only because of this behavior. And i not at least one giga whale thinking about leaving ( on auto upvote, doesn't interact). All about politics, Content is not neutral and the unenjoyable spam content is trending. Is worse as AI content.
