Theres obviously nothing wrong with downvotes removing rewards as that is an absolute right of every stakeholder to determine in what direction the reward pool is distributed, so the question here really is:
How should we treat using your stake to reduce the maximum potential visibility of content you, as a investor and community member, dont want to see on the trending pages.
How should we treat that occurrence thats actually more of a symptom of the frontend algo problem then onchain facts, that are downvotes..
Im sorry to say but most of the recent posts from your supporters about censorship, retaliation towards ,
,
, etc., trying to portray them as tyrants, are nonsense. Especially this guy here trying to bribe witnesses into destroying the chain.
How should we as a community treat the current right of community members to affect content placement on the trending pages and elsewhere? Thats something that can be discussed. Its a matter of quite some importance.
Even though you claim to stand for freedom, you must surely be aware that by supporting the idea that the community cannot affect content placement youre essentially removing one of their ways of expressing themselves. A way for them to affect how Hive portrays itself.
Shouldnt that be a right of community members?
