People like you are exactly why a decentralized website or decentralized money can not work. It always becomes centralized by one or two bullies who buy up the most assets. That is why Steemit hard forked. Justin Sun bought up enough SEEM to centralize it, and then silenced anyone who dared criticize him.
As for a decentralized non-crypto website, it can not work either. Just look at Wikipedia (which Mike Lindell criticizes for being far left). Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, actually said that in the beginning, the website was decentralized, and the only rules were that the content must be sourced and neutral. Over time however, the more outspoken people who bullied rose to the top, became administrators, and started blocking people with alternative opinions. That is why today, they have a strong leftist bias.
Eliminating downvoting would go a very long way to eliminating group think censorship. I've said this many times to the folks at the top, but they always say no (with whatever rationalization that comes to their mind at the time).
But WTF is going on? Most of the people I follow, who were LONG time Hivers before Hive even existed (when it was Steemit) are getting lots of downvotes. These include and @cryptographic and @frankbacon. They used to get nothing but upvotes. Something weird is going on here. It will not be long before everyone worthy of following is destroyed.
@frankbacon, @cryptographic, I smell a rat. I am beginning to suspect that @spaminator, @gank, et. al. who have LOTS of voting power and down vote a lot, are connected with STEEM and Steemit aka @justinsunsteemit. I remember there was an account that called itself "STEEM bootcamp," that said "Hive is shit" and said they would troll like crazy, and get people to leave Hive. In the same way they are accusing us of all being one account, I suspect that they are either all one account, or owned by one corporation, aka Steemit. Who is with me?
Again, along with you removing me from your list, that goes along with what I said about you not being so bad. @spaminator on the other hand is most likely a bot, because they downvote so many posts with such speed, that it seems they downvote almost immediately after the post was made. At least that is what they do with @frankbacon.
Day in, and day out. You tell me. Misguided do-gooders? Or people who are not playing with a full deck? Anyone with half a brain knows that the only people in Venezuela with access to HIVE are regime friendly. Okay, so maybe there are people here on HIVE who are also regime friendly. Who knows? It's not important anyway. What's important are the facts, and the facts are that they upvote trash and then persecute those who don't bow down and follow their shit curation trails - they talk a good game about manual curation, but they don't like it at all. A good part of the roots of the @jrcornel lynching scandal are anchored in this - they don't like independent thinkers supporting each other . . . God forbid they grow in number. And to top things off, they aren't even smart enough to know that, in the process, they are undermining everything a social media sets out to be and completely destroying any possibility that they might have to be successful with what they say they want to do with HIVE. Again, it's the facts that matter. Look at what they do, not what they say.
@cryptographic, I never thought about that, but it makes sense. At least one of the Venezuelan accounts responsible for the above posts is also responsible for downvoting lots of posts, and has LOTS of Hive Power. You are right about Venezuelans with access to Hive being from regime families. The average Venezuelan does not have reliable internet access, and their internet speed is one of the slowest in the world. Only the elite get high speed internet.

Either they are stupid, or . . .
Either way, NOT GOOD.
Hold 'em up, shoot 'em up, I just interacted with you, do you own this account now?
I'm confused.
!popcorn
I don't know who the fuck am anymore! lol
I have several identities I wasn't even aware of , apparently.
this is so cool to have this bot here on HIVE... just like back in the old days on STEEM.
!covfefe
is there ANYTHING wrong with my account ?
Hey , hey - I am not part of any of this - You should do some more research before tagging man.
Wank.
I made another list... Yet again... By proxy or associated... Memes a lot to me @gank ... Really do ✌😎🥓
Would you mind telling me what this is all about?
Bringing more eyeballs to the hive?
As good approach as any for a consensus to form... The write way...
They're screwed, if they didn't brush up on the marcratic method beforehand.

'The community' ostensibly includes us all, not that one can tell from the HIStories.
I know I space off alot of it.
YE! INDEED!
Associative disorder is my best guest 😎🥓🍔🍟

It's a little twisted right now... But we will get this sorted out. And soon I might add. 😎🥓
Again, I suspect @gank, the accusing account, as well as @spaminator are owned by Steemit. Inc.
.
Then I started this account
Because someone told me a friend of his JSON will make this easier, but I can assure you I am THE SAME PERSON !!!
Why aren't you including Spaminator ... ?? That flaccid old geezer... ??? In your allegory.?

No doubt there are rats mixed in with the incompetent useful idiots.
All one has to do is look at the results of their actions: destruction of all quality content and major upvoting of trash.
Anyone want to aggregate more data? Just look and make note of the upvoters of trash, and do the same with the downvoters.
The upvoters of trash are probably the worst menace, unless you're extremely interested in Venezuelan handicrafts . . .
No doubt, HIVE's worst enemies are within.
For example:

Edit: And not to be forgotten is the horrible "coding" being done still trying to get HF24 done. Basic features that they still haven't been able to get back (that we once had). It's scandalous! https://hive.blog/hive-139531/@cryptographic/qou088#@cryptographic/qou088

I upvoted... 👍 100%
Shotty publicity for everyone 😎🥓
Should also point out that this is my block and I ain't going away.
