They've got a discord link at the bottom of their posts. Maybe try there to at least get an answer.
I see this sort of issue only getting worse as popularity grows with this blockchain and big companies creat accounts. There's nothing really stopping anyone with enough money from buying a bunch of HP and demonetizing anything they didn't like; if this place ever became a big enough threat.
Seems like the Hive infrastructure is extremely flawed.
Well it was done to solve an issue with lots of bots before, and it did stop that, but it could definitely use some tinkering.
Downvotes have been a pretty heated debate for a while, so Until we find the right solution, we just got to talk it out. Definitely try their discord.
I personally want to see a lot more independent journalists such as yourself here, so I do not support these downvotes by @curangel
Thanks, see some of the responses I posted to other here. It is very frustrating that so many can't see that it is indeed censorship when 200 people say they like content and some rich guy can come along and just because he has more money, he can downvote it all the way to zero, undoing what the 200 other people are doing.
"It's the way it works! It's not censorship!" people scream. Well, I mean, it is. Blatantly.
