You're very welcome. And yes, the downvotes are in relation to what I have come to call the blockchain thought police. The ones on @trucklife-family post usually vote together, so imagine they are run by the same individual/group. The long list of downvotes on my post are mostly followers of the Curangel curation trail, a project that advertises itself as curator of high quality content, but which has been increasingly targeting content voicing dissent against the establishment narrative, particularly in regards to the injection campaign, to remove content from trending page and also zero it out. There are a few whales which are doing this, and I have been personally targeted, as well as @ura-soul, @frot and others, the vast majority of our posts being downvoted, many zeroed out. The collapsing athletes video you saw, along with a documentary I made on vaxx injuries a few months ago, were both zeroed out in this manner and just so happen to also be my two most popular 3Speak videos by far. The more popular the content, it seems, the more likely to draw the downvotes from these folks. Seems backwards for a blockchain model that is, we are told, supposed to reward you based on popularity as opposed to punish you for success! Clearly the many people viewing the videos, giving upvotes, reblogging and sharing these popular posts disagree with the subjective assessment that they have 'no value'. It's irrational authoritarian behavior showing that this blockchain is not as favorable to free speech and open discussion as it was advertised to be. Trending content can and often is removed in this manner, an obvious form of censorship.
Curangel, Altleft, and Azircon appear to be the main players in this cabal and then often Smooth when it comes to posts that make it to trending page. There are others who do little in the form of downvoting, apart from the posts talking about it and condemning this authoritarian behavior, but vigorously defend it and openly voice their disdain for a platform full of 'conspiracy' content and " 'no fact' truth " that goes trending, making it clear their goal (or at least hope) is to see the onboarding of establishment-friendly type content, and the disappearance of all who challenge government worship and the covid cult with actual facts, science, and natural medicine/healing methods that challenge the big pharma monopoly on healthcare. Many of these have straight up said to those of us who see the injustice of such behavior, that we should all just leave. Clearly that is what they want, to force out those whose views do not conform to their authoritarian worldview.
Hard to say what exactly started the targeting of my account although I have my guess, but it has been relentless, and I have received massive downvotes on nearly every single post I've made from at least one of these accounts for the past 3 months, often alternating between which account does the downvoting but rarely is a post left alone altogether (although it's getting not quite as bad in the past couple weeks), and then the downvotes are also often combined on higher payout posts that make it to trending. For over a month, every single post I made was zeroed out by the curangel account (if not by other accounts first), no matter how popular, and some were among the most popular posts I've ever made. It started for me with a day on which every single active post of mine was suddenly downvoted by azircon immediately after I left a comment on a friend's post (@shepz1) who announced he was leaving Hive for being relentlessly targeted by this same bully for talking to another user (@lucylin) who was also targeted by this user and has had every post zeroed out for 8 months straight. So when that happened, I made a post telling my story, and this azircon fellow was kind enough to explain he had simultaneously dropped $15 downvotes on all those posts (5 active posts) of mine because he believed my content added no value to hive whatsoever, and if it was up to him, he thought it would be "appropriate" if every post I ever made was zeroed out.
Immediately following that, the curangel account began zeroing out all of my posts, and altleft, who used to leave the occasional downvote on 'anti-vaxx' content of mine in the past began hitting the vast majority of my posts regardless of the topic, far more than ever before. It was undeniable I was being personally targeted. And so it has continued from that day until now, although not currently quite as vicious as it was for those first two months when when rewards were near zilch despite regular posting and having some of my most popular/highest payout posts occur during that period.
@ura-soul, being a witness and far more popular than me, and also being systematically targeted, has had thousands in rewards taken in this manner over the past month or 2. They began targeting him after he reblogged a popular targeted post of mine and was leaving comments on posts I was making documenting this downvote behavior. A fellow from the curangel project informed ura-soul that his content was being so heavily downvoted by them because it was unscientific nonsense that posed a danger to public health. Translation: Because it challenged the establishment narrative. They never have to this day, any of these downvoters, offered any evidence disputing our fact-based research or legitimately challenged any of our source material, preferring only to point fingers, call names and blindly trust the 'experts' I suppose. Others have been targeted as well, some more so than others. For example, @kennyskitchen just got a 230 downvote from curangel on a post promoting hive, if you can believe that! The way curangel works in this case and usually on my posts, is they wait until day 6 or sometimes just hours before payout to downvote, so there is no time for anyone to counter it.

Sorry if my explanation turned into somewhat of a book, lol :) On the bright side, this systematic targeting of my account ensuing at a point in my life when my hive rewards had unintentionally become my only source of income (and being fall in the American north, I needed substantial gas money to get to warmer climates) and thus literally made me homeless where I was living out of my car for 2 weeks, which led to me finding an up-and-coming community. So whether or not this ends up being the right place for me to stay long term to build community as my dream has for several years now been, I now seem to be closer than ever to helping create sustainable, independent community (the absolutely best way to 'fight back' against the forces of darkness as I see it), and if not the one I'm meant to be a part of long term, at least a good living situation for the winter with good people where I can help those who are a part of the global awakening of humanity, doing what we can to help create the better world of peace and freedom we all dream of. Below is the post I made on this latest development in my journey:
Crazy the ways in which the Universe works when we simply let go, have a little faith, stay in the present moment, and hold onto the visualization of our dreams as an already created reality we just don't see yet.

Take care, and keep on doing what you're doing, your story and what you're doing with your property in France is inspiring to so many, and also thanks for the support. I appreciate knowing that people find my content informative, as I truly do what I do not for the rewards (although they sure can be nice), but to spread awareness and in hopes of giving people the opportunity to see truth that the corporate media hides from their view, and further the awakening of humanity.
