It may not be the original intent of his creator. Only his creator can speak to that. But the current situation is that he does provide a useful service and many people upvote him despite the downvote swarm that is trying to play hunter killer.

It's like looking at some poor flea biten stray getting attacked by a hive of bees just because he tried to say hello.

Think what you want, but Hive account@wang was my first intro to this place and he was also the first to say hello to many others. It's the downvote swarms that present an issue in this case. Which is why I would like to find his owner and see if he's open to the code of conduct.
