It's a very small thing to ask. There are other reasons as well. Hive has a lot of photographers and artists who use their own work in their posts. When someone uses a photo or image without a source, curators assume they are the creator. All in all, the aim of Hivewatchers isn't to cause fear but to keep Hive clean, clear and valuable for all. Keeping Hive the best it can be is something we all want to do, yourself included, and we all know that as no one wants to deliberately sabotage their own investment's worth.
We're not YouTube. YouTube can delete or freeze your account. We simply post an educational comment and sometimes vote. You can ignore and transact. Hive was created to make sure that we can continue our community with the ability to transact without the threat of freezing accounts. Don't think of Hive in relation to some political acts; Hive decentralization is essentially an alternative system to traditional governance, even DPOS governance that we've seen pre-Hive.
