It's probably about two things: the bull market. Downvotes are a tool for manipulating the number of generated tokens. If you downvote, the people concerned do not get a penny and these tokens go back to the pool and there is more for old-timers.
And what always happens - the mentality of new users. If you're a leftist, it's ok, but if you're a rightist, it's out. The balance was disturbed on hive a long time ago and we simply have another Reddit there...
if it is possible, that is why it is necessary to wage war against them so that they come to blurt, it is much better, no matter what the price is, at some point it will have to go up.
I also wrote quietly on hive for a long time until I wrote criticism of downvotes. although it was an exhaustive study of over 2,500 words with a reliable approach to the topic, short after that the downvoting from hivewathers began. No matter what I wrote, there was always an excuse.
I recommend reading it, but you have to use a translator because it's in Polish ;)

This is not a regular anti-spam feature. they even worship its existence and treat questioning its validity as sacrilege and undermining dogma
This feature is simply what will ultimately destroy this blockchain in my opinion because it attracts people who like to have power over others and play "judges".
hello, i'm preparing a short video about hiveblog and blurt greetings i'm going to read it now @khrom
