Hi @slobberchops, I think this detailed answer at least deserves a reply.
@tanbay, many people here don´t like dtube and how they betrayed Hive. So the downvotes are probably to de-incentivize users to post on dtube regardless if you are an exception from the spammers there. I would really consider stopping the reblogging on Steem or dtube. At the end of the day you have to do a calculation of what is more worth, the SEO or the rewards on Hive? I also curate mostly people who commit to Hive and not try to grab rewards everywhere (and by this supporting Steem and other shit chains).
Thank you for explaining that to me, I disconnected my DTube account from Hive and Steemit
Good reply
I think you already answered it, the size of the response probably me off.., I work late and was probably tired. Yes, it was dtube and now that service has packed in.. so has @tanbay and his daily posting.
I mentioned use @3speak and he hasn't bothered, which tells me he was using dtube simply because of the vote, regardless of the content.
