true, that's an issue. But I think it is also on point that PoB does not work when everything is transparent (for fear of retaliation etc.). We still have to figure this one out

Fear of retaliation? - the downvotes are coming from whales who are censoring content. They don't give a toss about retaliation - they have 100 times the voting power of the accounts they are bullying.
well in a way censoring is not correct, but I know what you mean. I guess it could get better with a better distribution; and Dan said you can start your own community token.... obviously this might not be so helpful
Whales decide what content is encouraged and what is driven off the platform - just like they always did on Steemit.
If 94 people upvote and one whale slams the rewards down to zero - that not only wipes the authors rewards, it also wipes all the upvoters curation rewards. So 95 people are pissed off and one whale gets a hard on.
As a blogger being downvoted, and a curator having my votes deleted, why would I choose to stay invested in Hive? They can say it's not censorship, and they have been saying that for 5 years - but ultimately the content creators leave, and the investors pull their investment out.
We have already done all this on Steemit...
That is why my focus is now on Proof Of Brain. But this is not the way to grow a platform, it's the way to sustain a network of total corruption.
that is true, a bigger stake gets a bigger vote. This is probably not the best system we can come up with, but so far I haven't seen a better one. Is there one?
But I can also say after 4 years on Steem/Hive that it has gotten much better for users in general. We have much better curation and there are many more dolphins/orcas which play an important role in curation. There will always be cases where people will be treated unfairly and it sucks if it happens to oneself (I know how that feels as well).
Can this conflict be resolved? Have you talked about the people that have/are downvoting you? Did they have a reason for doing so or are they just bad players?
The conflict can be resolved by me posting only approved content, and never mentioning downvoting, and not interacting with accounts that they don't like...
Screw that.
what kind of content is getting you into "trouble"?
