because "self-voting" is often used as some sort of explanation for why someone has been downvoted

Does that mean it's a crime?

It's curation. It's exactly like a museum choosing to shelf certain exhibits all the way at the back or at the end of their displays: everyone can still enjoy them, they simply must go to those exhibits that precede them first to get to the last.

it's more like taking money out of a bartender's tip jar and redistributing it evenly to the other bartenders

or scooping coins out of a street performer's hat and redistributing them evenly to the other street performers

The curated rewards aren't guaranteed until the payout and until then they are fair game to be redistributed.

exactly like tips in a tip-jar

at the end of the night, the tips are split up (tip-share for busboys and hosts are distributed) and only then does the money actually BELONG TO the individuals involved

Its not the same at all. The tips are not given up by costumers, they are awarded from a community fund, which is funded by the inflationary function based on the staked value of the community. As such stake holders vote for it's distribution, which doesn't translate at all to parting with tips, tips which can still be given but which costs the giver to make, unlike voting on rewards, which come from newly created tokens that indirectly affect everyone's stake depending on how they are used. If they are constantly dumped, they devalue the stake of the community and concentrate it into exchange accounts.

I think bah completely misunderstands the terminology in the meaning of Curation. curation is about organising posts into categories and displaying and curating ones that you like. Curating is not silencing everyones opinion you don’t like, auto down voting somebody before they’ve even posted, down voting somebody because you either don’t like them personally, they defended somebody who got down voted, they took their own money out of a site, they post on another site. This is not curation I don’t know where you’re getting your definition of curation from. If you curate art for an art gallery you simply organise and display the art that you like and don’t display the art that you don’t like. You don’t make it so that artist can never ever earn money again from their art because you don’t like it or tell them they’ll never ever be able to display art in your gallery at any point in the future.

Nobody can silence anyone on hive, like on here, stop making up shit and pretending it applies when its a bullshit fabrication.

Thanks ppl are trying tobuse some crazy excuses for this behaviour. Curating my ass lol. If you ban an artists from applying to display in your gallery your banning them or black listing them your not curating them 🤣

posts hidden and negative rep does seem to have some impact on your credibility

isn't that the whole point of downvoting in the first place ?
