I downvoted them because I thought they were over-rewarded, the upvotes were because of a trail I follow, you're welcome to them.
Powering up and Voting/ Downvoting really are the purest act of Benevolence on Hive BTW - Rather than short term cashing out a very few of us have settled for what is a less than optimal 10% return on curation because we believe in fundamentals of the platform.
And we use our HP to benefit large numbers of people (while losing out financially ourselves because we could have made A LOT MORE trading our Hive for something else).
And DVing is an important part of making sure rewards are distributed as widely as possible.
If you get Dvd it's true that you get slightly fewer rewards, but don't worry, that means more more for everyone else, so from the holistic perspective of the system, it's still a win.
And whenever you're DVd by a larger stake holder, they are really wrapping you in the shroud of their own benevolence - your post is still visible but the rewards are gifted to someone else, by those who have themselves sacrificed their own greater gains by keeping Hive powered up.
It's sort of like they power up so you don't have to, which I notice you don't very much.
