A certain group of people feels that writing about BTC isn't good for the chain, as it's not promo enough for Hive.
Open free speech is good for this chain in my opinion. Such folks remind me of the same kind of people that blocked an open discussion of the block size issue prior to the eventual BTC/BCH fork. So long as they keep down votes out of it they are welcome to their opinion. ;)
Well I've been downvoted for writing about BTC before, so yes. These guys do not represent the chain, they're just a faction of people who wants to determine who gets what and when they get it.
