Yes indeed, I'm glad you find it refreshing, many who hear my optimism proceed to 'correct' me by insisting we are all doomed because end of world/NWO/Great Reset/Bill Gates gonna kill us all with vaccine/etc. scenario. I don't think so, but that kind of thinking sure doesn't help the chances of a free humanity! I think while outwardly they appear to be moving according to plan to take over the world, inwardly they are shaking in fear as they know more people are awake now than ever due to the blatant scamdemic lies forcing people out of their slumbers. 'They' being all Those Helping Enslave You.
On a different note, I just had a great idea come to me that I will share, that if those users whose rewards are being pillaged by the massive downvotes to 'balance rewards' had the ability to direct those diminished rewards to posts with smaller payouts of their choice, that would actually accomplish the stated goal and leave the discretion of where this distribution takes place in the hands of the author who got 'excessive' rewards due to popularity (or maybe occasionally random autovotes). I'd be much more ok with that if Hive really wants to institutionalize reward policing as integral part of the platform, as there is tons of content I would love to give bigger votes, and instead of going straight back into the pool to have next to zero effect on the under-rewarded users as a whole, it would make a big difference on some under-rewarded posts. At the very least such an option would make such downvotes seem as if they are truly being given out to 'balance rewards', and would have much more of a veneer of fairness to them.
As it is, I cannot buy that these downvotes are for the 'common good of the community' in any way whatsoever, the evidence from downvote pattern as you've seen clearly suggests otherwise, with this whale also refraining from upvoting under-rewarded content (and content in general for the most part) while constantly upvoting spam comments which rewards go straight to his own pet project. Quite the scheme, really, as you've illuminated quite well with all your links and screenshots here, so thank you for that.
If others can't see it, oh well, we've done our part in shining a light on this rampant power abuse (or helpful balancing of rewards as others call it)... :)

Generally speaking, I'm usually one of those people. However, your perspective seemed packed with optimism. It goes to show with a pinch of paradigm wiggling--things can happen. That and there's a fine line between anxiety and excitement. I had a realization regarding this other thing. Most of the people who couch their arguments behind the theory of conserving "the rewards pool" are like celebrities who pay lip service to global warming and going green. All the while, they hop from continent to continent like fleas on crack in their private gas-guzzling aircraft. It's just a bunch of hypocritical BS masquerading itself as good intentions. Just like everywhere else, there's a lot of virtue-signaling fuckery going on among certain HIVE power players at the upper crusty.
