So if I come across one of these posts where someone is being downvoted. They're blasting the entire community. Flying off the handle about not being able to earn or the censorship argument that never makes sense. So, 1000 people come along. They agree there's no reason to pay that individual. Does that individual then magically convert themselves into someone accepting of this fate?

The "point" here is to reduce abusive flags and create a system where everyone is treated the same, regardless of how many friends they have and how much stake they're sitting on.
So I have to know to MUTE someone in advance, before I come across that post? How do I do that?
I can see you're trying to make a point. I can see the point. I'm not critical of the system you're presenting because I don't understand where you're coming from. I'm critical because it doesn't make sense and won't work.

Imagine people had an option to create a "friends only" HIVE blog.
You know.
Like facebook and discord do.
Wouldn't that make "everyone" happy?
You can get in a couple of devastating downvotes to express your difference of opinion, and in response, your victim switches to "friends only" and that way you don't have to see them anymore (since you seem to be allergic to the "MUTE" function).
