And with all of this, if we want people to justify downvotes, why not the same for upvotes? Put same restrictions on both way.
Same thing that was brought up over on steem. people just do not understand the difference between a positive action and a negative action. People that do not understand that difference will come up with all kinds of reason to take no action at all.
Do you need to justify helping a small child and old woman cross the road? Do you need to justify recklessly running them over in the street? Positive action, negative action.
There have been a few post about restricting the amount of reward a vote can give out.
Why is a downvote a negative action though? I see upvoting some posts as a negative action because they already have too much in rewards?
Why are people leaving Hive if it is a not a negative thing? Why do we see so many post about it being a negative action? I think there are really very few people that when it comes to the reward side of things that do not see it as a negative action.
I do see the down vote as positive in most instances.
