Hive rewards aren't in your pocket. The $50 is still $50 if it gets removed from your pocket, it's just $50 in someone else's pocket.

If i have say 100k invested in a platform I prefer to decide whose pockets my votes end up in. If that is not the case I may prefer to shift my investments into more productive areas!

For some reason I am very attached to concepts like my pocket vs someone else's pocket...

Agreed and that is a major rebuttal to the downvote arguments. I am against having downvotes. So, the Hive Power argument might be one of the best ways to counter people who might say we need downvotes or whatever they might be saying.
