Don't you think that downvote discourages large content creators such as @lukewearechange from participating on this platform and encouraging his audience to join/invest into Hive? Never mind that this post is a humanitarian issue centering around an hero saving the lives of many people whose family needs support as well that this post could help with if it was that more visible.

No, I don't.

Well I have seen it happen since 2017. Granted namely by grumpy or bernie. Content creators with 100s of thousands of subscribers have came and left because they get censored from downvotes. But i respect your position nonetheless. I do appreciate the efforts on Hive to distribute rewards to everyone equally but a downvote taking away 30% of a content creator's post and the curation most def leaves a bad taste in any creators mouth especially high quality content creators with large audiences who are currently telling everyone to go to lbry and gab.

I'm going to reply just this once and then drop off the thread.

No one is "taking away" anything. The rewards are not calculated until the payout after 7 days. Everything before that is a voting process with an estimated payout. If one stakeholder upvotes a lot and then another stakeholder downvotes a lot, it is disingenuous to suggest that the upvote is legitimate and the downvote is not. It's all a voting process that arrives at consensus for the payout (if any) after 7 days. In this case, a payout that is still enormous relative to the platform.

That's my view and if you disagree, that's fine. Vote accordingly.

I appreciate your response and that you even voiced your opinion no matter how stale and unhuman of response that was. My vote and 99%+ of the blockchain 's doesnt matter if we have consolidated wealth that can drive content content creators away and stalling out any progress that we should be seeing with a alternative social media site application in Hive like LBRY is seeing. Arguably Hive should be seeing those people coming here not to lbry. How can development happen if year after year content creators with large audiences choose to go else where?
Thanks again for your time and I understand I have used up my allotted time with ya.

Honestly, I don't think there's any 'large audience' brought here by this channel. The audience is on YouTube, "Fedbook"(which they ironically refuse to leave), Twitter and Instagram. Basically the centralised platforms. Also, if you want any kind of engagement from the owner of this channel, you have to visit one of those centralised platforms to do so. I can't see any engagement at all.. it's a kind of post, promote your other channels and run. .. and of course log in once a week/month to cash out.

I'm willing to bet Hive pays the best of all their channels, maybe except YouTube, but if you visit any of their other channels, EVERYTHING else is promoted except for Hive.

Not sure they actually add anything at all to this platform.

You really came to make a baseless and factless remark?
