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".
