I respect your opinion but have to disagree. What would become of the farm I mentioned if there were no downvotes? They would reap the rewards of someone else's hard work.

This is a fear. But unrational one.

I can post Mona Lisa and tell that it's my creation. But how much will I gain? Even if no censoring-nazis with fat ugly downvotes are there.

Free speech CAN do SOME harm. And censors is here to "protect" you from a "bad" information. But free speech do much more good tan harm. Real harm is censure, not a lack of it.

Clueless as the clueless justifies.

Check out this profile's history before you spew that nonsense.

Try practicing your philosophy with 1.5M HP and you'll see how quickly things get bad.

You are not for free speech. You are for selfish speech.

free speech can be of any type. Selfish, angry, wrong, silly, disgusting, false. If some hypocritical power-crazed type like you starts to brand some forms of speech as inappropriate - it's not a free spech.

I live in Russia, and know who talks just like you? Mr. Putin. He can trow you in jail for a "selfish speech". I hate it to the bottom of my heart. It's a blessing that you can only do some downvotes to silence your enemies, that you just CAN'T silence people with a violence. Power corrupts. You and ones like you are corrupted by power of your downvotes.

It will be better to not seduce anyone with power to attack fellow humans. Downvotes are cancer just like self proclaimed enforcers, censors, custodians and guardians. If you don't like what other people say - you can argue, you can disagree or enlight. But you want to do harm instead, to use brute force. And by this you confess in having no vaild argumets, all you have is a pointy stick to poke people in submission.

I will oppose your selfishness rewards on your own comments to the very end. Only those with something to hide upvote their obscure comments at 100% near payout.

Your comparison to Putin is laughable, at best. It shows how little you know about free speech, etc. No matter how many downvotes you receive on this platform, your speech is not erased.

Money is a form of free speech:

Putin controls my rubles too. And I go to BTC to get free. Even to HIVE. But HIVE can't survive if it not a pro-free speech. If I whant a controlled media I can go to Facebook or Reddit why I need HIVE if it's controlled by likes of you? People make HIVE to flee from Justine Sun's tyranny. Someday they will flee from you too and than you can censore yourself as much as you please. Alone.

The CORE principle of crypto is neutrality. No one can interfere with how you are using YOUR money e.g. speech.

You can't delete my posts, yes. But you can do them invisible. "it's there! No one can't find or see but it's there! It's not censoring!" What kind of a moron can believe such a puny excuse? You just use power to forcefully shut my mouth.

What kind of a moron can believe such a puny excuse? You just use power to forcefully shut my mouth.

What kind of moron can't find "hidden post" on an immutable blockchain? You don't even know how things work.

None of the payouts are yours until pending period is over. If you hate Hive, go to Blurt, where there's no downvote. You'll see how fast your money is worth nothing when everyone chooses to print with a click of a button with no repercussion.

Freedom and Liberty are not the same thing. You say freedom but you mean liberty. Freedom is what you have when you follow the "rules" and they let you do some stuff without too much hassle. Liberty is living by your own rules.

Liberty is not safe. If it was safe it would be because you are doing something nobody wanted and it wouldn't be worth anything. The one time I was truly free I had an armed drone circling me, snipers around me and was waiting for the heavy hand of the US government to fall on me.
