You're great at sounding insulting but you really didn't point out in what way they were acting childish. You didn't link to examples of when you caused a big reaction. Also Ecency is the best front end for investigating how people voted https://ecency.com/hive-168088/@lucylin/its-time-for-the-big-boys-to-put-their-big-boys-pants-ondont-ya-think. I see here there is only one flag out of 149 votes by an account called "azircon."
Steemfiles will report how those you follow voted: https://www.steemfiles.com/hive-168088/@lucylin/its-time-for-the-big-boys-to-put-their-big-boys-pants-ondont-ya-think. It's always being developed. You can login with Hive Keychain it just is not advertised, yet.
...the massive down voting for no reason.(not spam or plagiarism, etc)
That is childish behavior.
When the downvotes were countered (with upvotes and direct hive payment as a show of support) ...the downvotes were then re applied to other posts...
...yeah, I've seen 5 years old act with more integrity..
I guess this started long before this article you referenced. There are those that don't flag articles per se. They flag people and sometimes by association. This is why Proof of Brain is better than Hive in terms of distribution. My concern though is how decentralized is "hive engine".
Yup - Small minds, small actions...
...And that's why I have positive hopes for POB...
It would be great if it could get listed independently from hive...
