The truth of the matter is that HIVE mostly does work based on voting trails. Legit stakeholders follow or stake these accounts based on their personal preferences or the type of content they'd like to see rewarded. Stakeholders that contribute to or follow voting trails are content with the curation that occurs. If they weren't, they'd pull up stakes and find other places to invest their delegations.

Not everyone wants to engage in full-time curation, but good HIVE-folk desire to contribute to the growth of the social dApp, the dApp that started it all and made this place initially an enjoyable place to create and share.

Inverted and negative curation is abstract to the real-world marketplace. It's on a par with Antifa window breaking. You're not hurting the big businesses and corporations, you are damaging the little guy, and you're doing it for what exactly? This kind of behavior is the most entitled behavior on the blockchain that I've ever seen.

Just because you control a massive amount of stake, you feel that you can null the votes of hundreds. And now you're going to pretend that trail votes don't count. You know that we know damn well that you whales are doing reciprocal voting and getting vote trail votes.

Don't be such a hypocrite. I don't want to take a giant deuce on HIVE by exposing the pattern of reciprocal voting that happens on your accounts, nor point out the fact that you're getting trail votes too. You know how this place works and its flaws just as much as the next guy. But I've seen you take a weird pleasure in "destroying another community." If I remember correctly, those were your words verbatim.

Just cut it out man, life is too short, and people are just trying to get by. The type of spirit killing that you're engaged in only emboldens our kind. And your war on information war and deep dives content will not gain you any traction or earn you any brownie points, save for with some of the other sociopaths on the blockchain. You haven't sold anyone on the idea that your downvotes on quality content are meritorious.

If you don't believe that, look at the engagement in the comments. Most stakeholders strongly disagree with your position. To answer Hive account@ura-soul's question: Whenever I vote for one of his post's it's after I've read it through and through. Be good to your fellow HIVE people. That's not such a terrible thing to ask.

Let's aim for a strong community with diverse ideas. There are many different cultures on the blockchain. Stake trolling with large downvotes is an amateur move that can drive people away. That can't possibly make you feel good to use your power like that. Does it?
