Ok. Very eloquent and well spoken response. Not the sort of mind that would go about generating content that’s detrimental to the blockchain and its community of owners.

Information travels in many formats and mediums... one should not be judged better than the other. Personally I don’t mind the readers digest version of news. I don’t have time to follow every rabbit hole so having something that sumsUP the facts neatly and succinctly and in an aggregate format is very useful. I’m able to keepUP with the broad strokes and not get bogged down in the minutiae. That, for me, is value because it saves me time. If it’s coming from a source I trust... even better!

Since when is it @hivewatcher, @spaminator, and @guiltyparties privileged right to determine how news gets disseminated to me/us.

This does seem to be a clear case of swampy ground if you ask me! Why would anyone in their right mind want to decide that they are the ones deciding such things...? and then to follow through without any due course and procedure that holds “the service” being rendered accountable...? well it’s just a whole lot of grounds for nothing good if you ask me!

As an owner this isn’t the sort of “service”we would want on our blockchain and I believe it’s time for people to start putting their feet down and saying enough is enough already.

This can never move us to a marketable and friendly Hive.

Imagine with me... if Hive were a country... would this be the sort of country you would want to live, invite your friends family and famous too... would you then be excited to build your future and invest your hard earned money in that country?

I think you already know the answer to this hypothetical.

There are potential solutions to making Hive’s content more sound while maintaining our friendly social environment other than what’s being currently played out here...

Evolving how we human has got to be a process that makes us better than the social2.0’s, not worse... otherwise we make ourselves irrelevant only to be left by the wayside and forgotten by the dustbin of human history.

I will leave a potential solution to how we could manage downvote spamming (yes! I can come up with terms too!) and downvote abuse in a link to @theycallmedan’s post. My thoughts about all of this can be found in the comments section of the post.

I do believe that we are dealing with something that seems innocent enough at first glance... (dusting, etc.) but when you roll the log over... we are getting way more than we bargained for. This is serious and needs serious consideration by the entire Hive community of owners.

Alright here’s the post and my comment that I was referring too 👇
