Yeah went and checked real quick and scrolling down with the ocdb account I could see about 15 votes and no downvotes on your account so maybe you were talking about someone else. :p

Don't take it personally. People get frustrated, start seeing red, everyone starts blending in and looking the same. Even had to correct myself here a couple times to make sure I direct my frustration at the true problem and not everyone as a whole. It's not easy. I'm currently talking to someone who's afraid to talk here and now. The whole Hive vibe was ruined for them too because of this same individual being a menace.
I generally agree with the post and your opinion. It's kind of stupid people are complaining about trending being shit and then when big accounts attempt to co-operate to get other type of posts to trending with bigger votes (and in turn sacrifice curation rewards due to bigger votes - not to mention ocdb almost always votes late and has shit CR efficiency) to then get disincentivized even more by downvotes. No wonder other big accounts only cast 8-15% votes on content with no rewards to maximize CR and stay off trending.
The term overrewarded is lame in my opinion, they're either not used to the sudden spike of the price or keep seeing rewards as the displayed one and not considering the 50% going to curators. I was sad to see @rainite get downvoted on his post as if $100 is too much to make these days.
It's super annoying to have my work finally make the trending page then have to sit and watch people complain about what's there constantly. They're never specific, but it would make more sense to single content out rather than throwing us all under the bus. So that's been bugging me, I'll be honest. I don't feel like I've done something wrong to deserve that hatred. Doing well here is fucking frowned upon. Nobody ever checks to see that I got there honestly, after years of trying and doing well. That ends that part of the rant.
So many problems would be gone if people could simply mind their own business and learn to celebrate success. I've been saying that forever. Nobody cares it seems, they just keep bitching and don't give anyone credit for a job well done.
I also said this in a comment here:
I've already seen this happen on Steem and now it's starting here. I also said what's happening with these abusive downvotes is the worst thing that could happen to content on this platform, but it's happening. I'm not wrong. Been doing this for years. Not just some moron trying to collect tokens with shit posts. I've studied the business model, watched the people, seen the results.
Those free downvotes were part of the EIP deal to help combat abuse since abuse was running rampant. People are using them for stupid reasons like, "I don't like your post." Only a monkey would slap everything they don't like.
Promoting other platforms, misappropriating delegations were just two—not to be confused with each other.
No, you’ve never downvoted me, thanks. I’ve never downvoted you either.
I'm curious if you see #posh as us promoting twitter when it's obviously meant the other way around, though. :P
Uhmm, I see it as promoting twitter more than Hive. I also see a lot of down votes on accounts for platform cross posting being called plagiarism when it is their own content. People trying or cross platform posting from their YT site, to steem, to hive, to 3speak, dtube, on Hive they need to have proof or ask permission of a non-centralized authority to post their own content here it seems. The only place I watch non music YT videos is on Hive post, I do not as a rule visit YT.
I had a twitter account, I never liked twitter, and I am pretty sure if people pulled their twitter content into HIVE, it would be down voted automaticaly after a bit, just like what happened to the platform sharing app that used to be available on Steem.
I am not much of a content maker, just a content reader, a real content reader. I watched as Authors were driven off of Steem because they were sharing their published works with the people on steem, some were looking for suggestions and using steem as a feed back site, they are gone, because of the actions of a very small group of people.
For now there is still some good content, some professional and some amateur content, the continued lopsidedness of a few accounts being able to control the type of content that is made available is/will be the death of Hive, just as Steem is dying a slow death and content type is being controlled by a central authority.
There is a serious need for people to re-evaluate the witness selection/retention system, and the down vote system.
