I hate the down vote. Not enough to switch to BLURT but still enough. I believe the only time a down vote is warranted is for plagiarism

Why do you hate downvotes?
I personally think a downvote should be a way I can share an opinion quickly. I do not have nuke all of the rewards of a post when I share an opinion.
The reward pool is not free, we pay for it with inflation.
I hate downvotes because they are demoralizing. They make a mf'er think why should I even bother. Plus most downvotes are either A) retaliation or B) just because you don't "approve" of the content. Example, I post mostly cannabis content.. there are people who disapprove of cannabis so therefore they feel the need to DV me without considering what I bring to the blockchain. The same can be said for my MoTD.. yes I know they are offensive af.. they're supposed to be.. they're jokes.. but I do understand DV them... I post a lot of dark and disrespectful memes that hurt snowflakes "feelings" but I post them on Snaps where they belong. Now plagiarism is a whole different Oprah show.. bombs away mother fuckers.. they deserve a DV.. I'm not particularly fond of the "Great post" spam comments.. and yes maybe they deserve a DV.. but I rarely do it. I have forgotten the last person I DV'ed..
I see people on Hive downvoting a penny from Someone in some country where a penny is a lot of money… for no reason at all.
It’s brutal.
You are a good man @davedickeyyall
I agree with you. Downvotes are killing Hive. It was never this bad on Steemit. Those were the days man.
