I'm sure @azircon had a legitimate reason to downvote, I've seen him do it often and I don't believe he does it for nefarious or opinionated reasons, else that would've garnered bad attention towards himself from others. There are always bigger whales in the sea.

Acid. If you look at Olaf's previous posts, you will see no engagement, and no content of value. No one talks in his post, and until I removed his rewards he doesn't talk to anyone. That is not a model hive behavior we want.
Also he is actively making detrimental comments to individuals and project, which doesn't help his case at all. You know that I have done this for a long time and we simply do not need extractors like Olaf in hive or in Splinterlands.
His ridiculous comment of 'vote trading' is so moronic, just for that I can DV him for eternity :) I am not going to spend any time ridiculing myself to answer his comment, I suggest you ignore Olaf. There are lot of disgruntled people we come across and lot of it is from entitlement.
I have put 300 words of junk of a auto-battler online, I deserve a vote from the curation program of the game I play.
NO. IS MY ANSWER.
Can't say I agree with the eternity part, people can maybe change :D but agree with the rest of the things. Oblivious extractors who hope to just shove out content and not care if it gets consumed or not should not get used to it, part of the issue there lies also with the curation however.
That bit meant to be a joke.
I think no one with any long term experience at hive will have any disagreement the moment they look up Olaf’s profile.
He certainly did it for nefarious reasons. And it wasn't just to me. Like I said, hive is more centralized than most systems where a few whales control everything and do as they please. They abuse the system and drive away anyone they don't like.
This is not true, you can easily look at hivebuzz ranking to see that it's plenty distributed. Whales acting in nefarious reasons can be countered easily and it can cost them social repercussions and potential earnings/opportunities down the line.
We've seen how whales who do nothing of value are treated at times with cases like trasnsisto/newsflash where most people, except a few hoping for a quick vote would just ignore them, compared to say whales like theycallmedan who build valuable things are respected on here and end up doing really well.
Well we can clearly see azircon abusing many users and engaging in vote trading. If he didn't have money, he would never get to so those things or get the amount of votes he gets on his posts.
There's also nothing I can do to ever get a post that isn't DVed to 0 now.
You could prove that there is demand to read your posts and people who have a good track record to want to defend you from downvotes.
I don't see azircon trading votes anywhere.
Anyone can look and see many upvotes on my posts. Some are automatic but many aren't and I've had comments about how people learned from my games. I'm not going to keep making posts that take significant effort while earning 0. And not just earning 0 but also reducing the curation rewards my upvoters get.
As for azircon trading votes, that's his favorite past time after nuking everyone he doesn't like.
Look at these comments all upvoted in 100% by galenkp:
I don't have computer access to take a better look right now but there are some people he always or almost always votes for and they do the same for him.
And yet my $13 a week, most of which came from Splinterlands' contests, are apparently a problem, even though they take much more effort than his posts (any of them farm more hive than all my posts from one week).
