Of more concern to me is that the definition of abuse keeps expanding, while with each expansion they claim it was always in the definition and always part of their scope.
The more the definition of abuse is expanded, the more it gets into areas that should be up to broader consensus, not a centrally funded effort. And the more users and communities are alienated.
It is my opinion that the lost market value from decent people leaving Hive and selling out their holdings exceeds the 'saved' value from HW's abuse elimination by orders of magnitude.
The definition is whatever they feel like for the day. They refuse to do anything about the 100 accounts grampo farms with like cleangirl. Also remember they were one of the largest self vote abusers before they got their golden ticket by upvoting 60-90 comments a day for $1-2 each while downvoting people who did the same.
Hive Watchers had been already downvoting "cleangirl" account months before your "buildawhale" account started downvoting it.
The same with this group ("buildawhale started DV-ing a few of them):

Since we noticed that "buildawhale" started downvotuing some of them on day 6, we stopped downvoting those accounts downvoted by "buildawhale".
You mean, you stopped doing your job because you figured someone would do it for you for free while you still rake in the funds.
Guilty specifically said he won't downvote it because "it's a dapp", same with all the grampo accounts.
