The definition of quality content must change however, as all of these blogs involve a net buy of hive and hbd before they are made, which none of the ‘blogs’ on hive do.
Sure, but none of this information need be visible as content, as it could be put behind a custom JSON and verified by your team. Even the photos needn't be put on the chain as content.

As for downvotes, that is the term used on Hive. upvote, downvote - there is a logic to it. Whatever the term used though, it is about potential reward removal.

As this is still considered content on Hive and is being rewarded, it is open to "reward removal" by those with stake.
