How is this hounding? a 7$ downvote on something that was at 80 and still trending. I downvote other posts I find overrewarded too, doesn't help that this one gets consistently the same whale support, if you are that bothered by it and feel this deserves that much more rewards feel free to counter it with more stake or feeless tips.
A lot of other average users attempt to promote Hive, there's literally a L2 token incentivizing them as well cause as you say most content here is worth nothing if it doesn't get views from either inside or outside.
There are literal newbies with no stake getting more engagement on their posts than this account. Maybe cause 99% of other social media isn't about this topic and Hive is moving towards that after the initial anarchist/consdpiracy flood by dollarvigilante, and he is at least bringing in new users now through his new platform that uses Hive.
You should stop looking at trending and subscribe to communities or check your following feed, much better ux, something reddit taught me early and most people are aware of by now before they judge a platform based on whatever is trending.
Do you know anyone who browses youtube based on what's trending? Go take a look.
It's trending often and the only engagement they receive is nobodies crying over a couple downvotes.
