While no doubt there is much of the drama I completely missed out on regarding @cryptofinally because I wasn't really paying attention, my take on it at the time from the limited posts I saw was that she started getting downvoted for the most appropriate of reasons, disagreement with rewards (she often had very high rewards on posts with very little content...I don't recall if it was through self voting or not), and took it personally, referring to downvoting as stealing or something like that. I understand she was also being harassed by some individuals but on a supposedly censorship free platform that is going to happen. I don't think you'll every convince people who are assholes to not be assholes. You have to learn how to use the tools available to deal with it. When some tried to calmly and rationally explain what she could do (posting in her own community, muting users, etc.) she didn't appear to be interested. I was left with the impression that she was here to make money and didn't care about much else. She didn't seem to want to understand how the platform worked. But maybe I'm wrong about all of that. Like I said, I wasn't really paying attention.

Sure. But instead of supportive efforts it all devolved into shit talking from the community and the inner circle.
It wasnt only unfair it was damn stupid.
Some tried to explain, then millions of HP shittalked, many more provoked her, etc. etc.
The overall situation was dealt with incredibly badly which takes me back to my original point that no one from the inner circle, from the people that like to give themselves titles and consider themselves important did anything to alleviate the situation, none of them thought, "hmmm, whats the smart move here". They saw what "stake" was saying and they went along with it.
Because thats the easiest thing to do. Jumping on the bandwagon and leting someone else drive you along.
Unfortunately this behavior is one of the bad aspects of human nature - its not exclusive to Hive or even crypto.
Agreed, i still think that the way HIVE is set up, those with high influence can have an easier job swaying the community in a "smart" direction instead of making decisions based on "feeling" or whatevers popular.
Absolutely right!
Yes, I and others made a number of attempts to try to help her understand and use the platform effectively.
There was some criticism that crossed the line into sexual harassment of her at the end though.
It pretty much started with that.
