Back in Feb when Leo voter attacked my account, they had 2.5 million HP delegated to them. Immediately after the attacks, over 100k of delegations were pulled as a direct response to their downvoting
Now they are down to 1.5 million. I don't know how many other accounts they have pissed off but actions do have consequences. Several large and med sized accounts pulled all support for Leo from that point on. How is the price of Leo tokens?
We go way back on Steemit so I still vote and comment on your posts to some extent. But nowhere near as much as I would if you tagged your posts POB because nearly all my voting power and curation is in POB these days.
I have powered down 1/4 million HP because of downvoting. Ultimately downvoting will destroy the Hive platform - I fully agree with @lucylin on that. It is an exact repeat of Steemit.
Ignoring the payments - the trending posts on Leo could bore the legs off a chair! And they are clueless. I am a crypto trader and the only reason I would read most of them is to see how not to trade! They have no fundamental understanding of how all markets are manipulated.
Which fiasco do you mean? POB mostly has better content than anywhere else on Hive. It has the second best front end after Peakd. The whales have a genuine interest in curation rather than down voting and reward pool control. I'm a whale on POB myself and as far as I know am on good terms with the other whales. Hell would freeze over before that could happen on Hive!
I know it's risky, but I'm taking a punt on POB partly because I've been run off Leo and am now being run off Hive - and I could see that one coming! The fact that is happening speaks volumes about this platform - I'm a content creator and investor, who could easily have become a whale if so inclined - but am being pushed off the platform.
So it is clearly a bad long term investment. Leo even more so... You yourself are not investing much in Hive because you know how it works.
I guess I missed where you got in trouble with Leo, but I saw the reasons given for you being attacked on POB. Probably just a matter of what day and drama you happen to notice.
You and Lucy were getting too many votes.. haha. After years of being entertaining. (pob)
I was just short of the Orca level at the split, I still like the community and I like to talk about crypto, and I don't care about people who think they are aspiring authors. I don't mean it in a mean way, I'm just not that interested. I really haven't seen any stand out authors for the most part.
Which doesn't mean, the banter in the community isn't fun.
Anyway, per always I wish you well and get the fact we see things differently sometimes, we also agree often.

And have a look at the comments too - LOLS!
Yep, had I witnessed it, I would have done the same meaning pulled the delegation.
However, Khal's not really like that so I wonder what got said to him at the time.
Anyway, yeah, I missed that one. Maybe they learned the lesson.
And yeah, LOL at the comments
'Seeing things differently', on here - comes with financial terrorism, not open discourse and acting like a grown up...
"Joins a DPOS blockchain, and then learns what DPOS means".
It's a voluntary participation situation, we've had this conversation before. You are free to participate knowing it's strengths and weaknesses or not.. There are certainly some huge assholes, but that is a different thing from terrorism, Nazi, Tyranny and all your dramatic words.
I don't agree with all that happens, but I understand how DPOS works. :)

You're in marketing....(applied psychology/propaganda).
DPOS is the mechanism, not the dynamic.
It's a voluntary participation situation..just like vaccines...
See how this works?
Do you go to the ice cream store and yell about getting a salad? lol
Or vice versa.
.....No, but if the ice cream store is making carbohydrate slaves of an unaware population, those who see this occurring, might just start telling everyone about salads !
Crypto currencies can be either an ice cream parlor, or salad bar - or both.
DPoS is Ben and Jerry's.
The large shareholders of the company (and the brainwashed customers) might beat up those for droning on about health because it disturbs their utopian dream of living on ice cream ( the truth causing psychological pain - cognitive dissonance).... it doesn't stop me talking about celery.
The large shareholders and carbohydrate addicts see the truth being presented as a threat to their reality - and react.
*There has never been one rebuttal of my points - not one.
Why?
Because to rebut my points, would be enter the arena of reality - and that's the very space that they're trying to avoid.
So instead...ad hominems blah, blah... - oh, and the 'downvoting hammer' of course - it's what those with power always do when confronted when reality threatens them.
(When the spin has been highlighted for what it is, and logic threatens the product).
....see tens of thousands of historical precedents of this exact same dynamic in action if you don't believe me....
I'll do a 'critical thinking' flow chart on my post, I think...
That way, people will be able to work out if they are actually thinking or just thinking what they've been told to think...
Hive cult members - like any other cult - will not be able to accept this truth when it's presented to them - (cognitive dissonance)... and that's because the're clever! lmao.
Principals don't change - only the terrain.
