There is a problem in Hive, and that's downvotes.
I agree about centureship resistance and ownership of assets...
But instead of trools some users get downvoters, I just got this @spaminator downvoter who is for no reason started downvoting my post, inclusing the latest one and my comments.
Let's see that @spaminator downvotes my comment here...
COme on, you can't downvote according to whims and fancies, its centralised down to user who is generally powerful so other hive users who are small feel intimated and vulnerable and it curbs our freedom of speech and expression.
Really, Hive should do something to remove arbitary downvoters...its high time... what if one user gets unfortunate enough to be trolled by a downvoter or more...sucks then, they will leave the platform, whatever the other Web3 benifits of Hive are...
@spaminator what's your reason to target me suddenly... and your doing a rotten job considering you were Hive watchers, who blacklisted accounts that were spam, or plagmarised etc...of downvoting my posts now... I hope this stops, its not healthy...
My post was not spam, not plagmarised etc... there's evidence in it...
what should we do about downvoter like @spaminator ?... who downvote without justification.
Anyway...
I don't think the problem is the downvoted, it's the abuse of power.
Either for upvotes or downvotes. If we did not had downvotes we could not prevent spam and abuse.
I do think that there should be better ways to appeal on Hive and this automatic downvotes affect the retention. But in some cases they are necessary to give a notification to curators.

There are ways to tweak the system.
We also have the ability to look at the tribes. Notice how LEO doesnt seem to have this issue. While people believe that Hive is the only asset on Hive of value, they will miss the entire forest.

Leo there is no downvote... that's good, bad content can stay unrewarded and spam content can be removed... I hope Hive would look at the issue, abuse of downvote power is definitely a problem in Hive...
I agree... they should tweek it definitely because I am not the only one having this issue, there were a lot of others, where big account holders out of ego downvoted post.
I don't downvote posts unless its spam, if its bad content, I downvote really small amount, anyway I don't have much downvote power, and give that author a chance to correct etc...
Abuse of downvote power is a issue in Hive, I am glad if Leofinance is free from it!!
I hardly care about that downvote, but I don't want a downvote troll, and since 3 downvotes came from that account I was rather scared... anyway
I don't know why you got downvoted, but they tend to have reasons. It can be down to 'whims and fancies ' just as upvotes are. The ability of every user to downvote as they see fit is part of Hive. There can't be central control of that.
Remember that we can give out more upvotes than downvotes.
Instead of complaining about it in a comment section by taggin an account that isnt going to see, why not go into the discord and ask them why they are downvoting you.
Odds are there is a reason and not just whims and fancies.
Of course, you are falling prey to just focusing upon Hive again. You do realize those downvotes likely have no clout with LEO, CTP, or some of the other communities.

I helped a friend get this done once... it actually works.
can't find that @spaminator at discort
I searched for @spaminator at discort and did not find the account, its hive watchers, I tried the discort link in that spaminator account but its not relavent.
that's why I tagged that account here...they should see it, but I agree its rather not good to tag them in a comment on your excellent article on web3 and potential of hive, I should have tagged that @spaminator in a comment under my own blog I guess...
I am sorry for inconvenience...
