RE: ever feel like you just don't WANT to help? do it anyway 😏

It would be a miracle if the proposal passes.

Starting any conversation with a negative comment is rude.

This post is about helping tiny minnows when they get a 2.57-cent downvote. And because of that downvote on a wonderfully written post, the lady that wrote the post will now be getting 1.57 cents per the posts payout in 7 days -the curation rewards.

And when she misses that 1.00 USD, she will not be able to eat FOOD or pay RENT and might end up homeless.

You can take all your numbers and facts and figures and shuffle them around and write your heart out about how downvotes are needed on the blockchain. To which I agree, by the way, and have been hit by HUGE downvotes and small ones, but this post is about the LITTLE GUY.

The ones that come and become great writers. The ones that bring others that become great writers. The ones that, occasionally, need a little kindness and understanding from fellow humans and not numbers thrown in their faces. Because you know what? No one can eat numbers. Numbers written in a comment do not feed or pay go to college. With the money they earn on Hive they take that 2.00 USD a post and make a better life for themselves.

I do not think that is asking too much.

Crowdfundedwhale or cfw was a project a bit similar to this but had different aims. It didn't got passed which makes me believe this one will not too. While I also gave an alternative solution:

Similarly, create a discord a bit similar to freezepeach+hivedr combo and ask people to apply by dropping victim post link. Then decentralized upvoters can counter it. No need for Delegations, beneficiaries or funding. Just need a place in discord to connect victims and volunteer upvoters. And a more decentralized solution is implemented. Maybe ultize some bots and tech.

U can make it more decentralized if you want. Also, you can encourage them by giving badges based on $ value countered. Just make sure people use it to upvote the damage value. Also, a suggestion is ignore any post if they used any inorganic vote method (i know you will disagree here). That's completely fine. Make your own rules.
