If you don't care about money then downvotes are irrelevant. There are going to be people you don't like or don't like you (or your posts) on any platform with more than a few people. Nothing is censored on hive except for when certain front ends hide certain posts. That's up to whoever is maintaining that front end though. Mute the users you believe are greedy, envious, vengeful and small minded. Problem solved. I think you'll find more "good" users on this platform than any similar platform. If you can just ignore those you consider "bad" things will be a whole lot better.
Lol .... I’m not here for the money. I’m already a millionaire. I just don’t like the way some people get treated here. So I set up a Downvoter Downvote Robot to help the little guys.
I did check. And while you are right, I don't see where you had a $40 post in the last few weeks I do see where you have had several in the $20 to $35 range. My point is you probably won't get that for posting on Blurt. Or Facebook. Or Instagram. Or pretty much anywhere else. If the money doesn't matter then it doesn't matter. If it does matter, then those seem like pretty generous rewards for social media posts. Some people thinking higher amounts are too much and that some should go back into the rewards pool for other posters doesn't seem outlandish to me.
Downvotes are supposed to be about disagreement with rewards. To the extent people downvote for revenge or other petty reasons then it is a problem. But pettiness is going to be a problem anywhere in some form or another.
Lol no cause they got downvoted 🤣🤣🤣 sorry but I would feel the same if it was 1 dollar down to 50 c this isn’t the point at all. I don’t personally believe it’s ethical for a witness to selectively vote people’s posts down because they deem them unworthy and keep other posts high. Lots of their mates get regular 80-100 dollars for rly average posts no problems. The equivalent is me saying can you give me half your wage you earn at work cause think you get overpaid. Happy do send it to me? You should be happy right cause you still get SOME. Meanwhile I’ll let all my mates keep their full wage. Of course everyone can have their opinion and I am voicing mine. X
Oh and then it got more down votes because acid suddenly decided it was over rewarded too 3 mins after commenting on me sharing my experience from early steemit days, when he and others bullied all newbies and shared their posts in private chats where they all laughed and decided who to flag and take to rep one that day. Clearly just a coidenence that he replies to that then three minutes later decides another post is ‘ over valued’ I woudl hve had more respect had he just been upfront and honest about continuing to bully and abuse his power to threaten people into staying silent. If I only cared about money I would have sucked up to them back in 2017 and laughed at and bullied all the newbies and upvoted the inner circle and I would be huge on hive now.... and morally bankrupt.
It has nothing to do with money. It’s about the very ugly Censureship, revenge culture, envy, greed and small mindedness on Hive.

Sometimes it’s not about money. I love a lot of the community on hive it’s a shame that a small handful ruin the platform.
You don’t get one here either as as soon as they see you make something they swoop in lol go check

I had five friends join recently and pretty much only I voted then and they left already. I don’t think newbies are getting much help.
