Same thing goes for those wanting to remove layer 1 completely and shilling for layer 2, tbh. They've not even tried to use their downvotes or attempt to normalize them, especially for disagreement of rewards. There's a lot of stuff that gets overrewarded, my posts included but I'm not here trying to farm it on a daily basis and often forfeit a lot of them. It's really not that difficult to find out who's here just for the rewards, a lot of the times some downvotes show people's true colors easier than a lie detector and most of those reactions are pretty cringe.

It's always been like that. The entertainment comes from the drama over rewards. It's always about drama over the rewards. I don't recall any major drama on the blockchain that can't be linked with the drama over rewards. It's all about the damn rewards. Just as human history has been shaped by wars, this blockchain has been shaped by reward disagreements.
It's quite entertaining some times, but pretty sad when people use it to go after smaller users which I have zero tolerance about - unless they're being assholes in one way or another ofcourse, there's consequences to your actions here just like anywhere else in the world and that's good else we'd just have trolls constantly patrolling the place all the time.
Can you imagine with more people and bigger people who have feuds with one another from the past being on Hive and the drama that'd ensue then?
I don't really consider stake as a big factor to character. It's not like an asshole with less stake will change their views after receiving more tokens. If we remove the social rewards to the argument and just strip down the drama to it's core of rewards disagreement, I don't think people would still put up with the drama and would just be on their merry way somewhere else. As soon as the argument about censorship is supported by rewards being taken, that's when I know it's not really about their free speech they care about but the rewards.
I can but it's on a microscale drama that people shouldn't bother with. If Hive does get more love from the mainstream, making posts about rewards disagreement, value of engagement will be evergreen content here.
Myeah, that's true, I mean more like someone who just cause he happens to have bigger stake lashes out at smaller users knowing he's doing a lot more "damage" to them in an attempt to scare them away from voicing their opinion with downvotes on overrewarded content - which often times the bigger user gets a lot of and most of the time its from vote-trading or other shitty ways. When I see those kind of downvotes is when I lose my cool.
