Hey, this is TF writing.
I came to the realization this issue is due to people on this platform for some reason using the wrong definition for censorship, I have pasted two links below.
What is the definition of censorship?
https://www.aclu.org/other/what-censorship
" Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.
In contrast, when private individuals or groups organize boycotts against stores that sell magazines of which they disapprove, their actions are protected by the First Amendment, although they can become dangerous in the extreme. Private pressure groups, not the government, promulgated and enforced the infamous Hollywood blacklists during the McCarthy period. But these private censorship campaigns are best countered by groups and individuals speaking out and organizing in defense of the threatened expression."
I grabbed this from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient".[2][3][4] Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies.
I and many others agree with downvoting things that are spam/plagiarized/graphic content/things not tagged NSFW that are/abuse/illegal content/calls for violence/etc.
Hive has never been censorship free to begin with, it has built in censoring via downvoting. It was touted as Censorship Resistant, but the word Censorship has taken on an incorrect meaning for some reason here and somehow people removed the "suppression" part of the definition. Censorship is when content is suppressed or deleted, it isn't just defined as deleting content.
I have no idea on who is promoting a shitcoin, I see plenty of people promoting the shitcoin that is bitcoin as decentralized on here and they get plenty of upvotes. Feel free to read through a few of my posts on @truthforce on how bitcoin is centrally controlled mining by the Chinese Govt by a super majority, dev team was bought off by big banking and kept blocks to 1 MB to cripple the chain. or what the thing about monetizing someone's mother is all about.

My mom's a really mean and rude person(and my dad enables her bad behavior) who I mostly don't talk to and want nothing to do with, I wish her the best but she has mental health problems that cannot be fixed and was born that way.
Would appreciate if you would stop saying things like that on chain, it isn't a good look PR wise.
Downvotes aren't censorship, build your own token if you want to reward people for this kind of content like some do on leofinance for crypto posts. How difficult is it to understand that some stakeholders don't want that much hive inflation to go to these kind of posts from these kind of authors that they may deem not to bring much value to Hive, the token they're getting rewarded in? Like are you guys seriously going to keep running in circles to protect your earnings instead of facing the issue at hand? Keep blaming it on the CIA, anti-truth and all this ridiculous bullshit just cause some feel you shouldn't get this much rewards from the reward pool? You guys have been here since the beginning even, it's not like you just got here and they're nipping you in the bud. 5+ years with nothing of value to show for except constant autovotes on content literally no one, not even you yourself are bothered to engage and care about consuming. Like seriously shut the fuck up already and do something useful for a fucking change you worthless parasites.
I'm sorry, the definition of censorship that I gave you is what it is. Suppression is censorship. I don't know why or when the "suppression" part got removed from that definition or why you think it should be, but I'm not going to argue about that.
I understand people don't want to upvote our posts, just don't upvote them. We have our own thing going.
The CIA thing about them owning Hive or whatever is nonsense.
I regularly read everything in IW/DD/Politics/News and on trending front page, trending is pure garbage as you already agreed with me on in a previous comment and it's all over-rewarded.
I have never gotten into any yelling or screaming matches with you, would you please not talk to me like that? I've always been nice to you man, everytime.
That's where you're wrong, lol, how do you not understand that? It's like that @dbroze douchebag, eventually if the investment in upvotes isn't yielding anything to show for you gotta cut it down some, doesn't matter if he's a whale constantly voting himself and his friends up or people who post about the same things, post rewards aren't guaranteed and same thing goes for curation rewards. There's 7 days to adjust those rewards and any other stakeholder can either adjust them down or up more, it really isn't rocket science but for some reason you guys feel you should be immune to this. Why? Money. What the fuck else would it be? Literally no one is having a harder time finding out or seeing these posts or others getting downvoted 1+ days later.
Upvotes from whales like enki xeldal and others are outside of my control. Dbroze isnt being voted on to much anymore from us as we discussed previously.
Idk. Over never been hostile to you in any of our convos. I'd you read some of my posts I dont post batshit insane things. I know some people do and I cant stop that.
I've seen no evidence hive is CIA controlled. No idea why this is going around lately. More nonsense.
My apologize for lumping you in with the others.
Exactly, they aren't gamer gods ;)

Battlefield 5
Battlefield 1
Looks like the halo tracker is down for 4 and 5 right now due to infinit releasing messed it up.
At this point ya'll may just as well be sockpuppets being ran by a few people, just like that project hope scam. Would make sense considering you can't find the time to actually engage on any posts you guys vote up.
I sometimes leave comments. We have a shared YouTube where we have had 4 different people on at a time.
Not sure why you would say we are sick puppets. I've uploaded lots of videos over the years of me talking and talking with others.
As well as gaming. I was a semi famous gaming youtuber for Destiny and Halo for a few years. I've seen your live streams sometimes. What you playing lately?
I dont really like halo infinite too much compared to halo 5. Battlefield 2042 is a little meh. I liked 1 and 5 a lot.
