I said the opposite for as long as I can remember. I only every replied that to people who considered my downvotes as theft and to individual like OCDB using votes as payment method, they were paying their curators with upvotes on summary posts.

Hive account@freedom and Hive account@blocktrade stake have spoken and I respect the outcome.
