It's the same whales (or different ones) who vote for most of the rewards in the first place. Somehow it is perfectly legitimate to get whale upvotes but not whale downvotes? I don't think so.

No one complains about unfair upvotes on their posts.
Exactly. They are happy to take the huge rancho votes. I see haejin is exploiting that to the max on Steem for his own crap with nobody caring. Sad to see how low the old place has sunk. It's a dash for cash there. Hive will never be perfect, but people do actually care about it. The good some whales do may not be obvious.
I just don't want to see people feel they have to give up over losing money they never actually had. They may have good content, but they seem to ignore how Hive works and how others are less fortunate. I do think some big accounts could give less votes to the old guard and boost some of the really creative people who are adding value for a general audience. It's their choice of course.
People take it all pesonally, they don't see the bigger picture. Also, the supply is down over 1M now :)
It is a lack of understanding, but when people have been here four years, is that lack of understanding still understandable?
You would think they would know better, but some people don't actually bother looking at any technical posts. They just see money rolling in and ignorance is bliss ;)
I think removing the effect of rancho/haejin votes is fair as we know he doesn't give a shit about quality. I have seen a couple of those affected saying they are leaving despite having done really well from Hive. One posts the same to Steem and makes 20c each time. They don't seem to appreciate how lucky they have been and how the reward distribution is skewed. I keep saying Hive is not fair, but it can do good.
Thanks for what you do.
