I never suggested that at all. There are many community members with different stakes. When they choose to vote (up or down) on a post their votes are added up and then the reward is computed and paid out. No one "overrides" anyone else, all the votes are added up.
Sorta talking past each other here, I completely hear you when you say that all the votes are computed it's just that yours is worth more so it has more of an impact. I just can't wrap my mind around why anyone would want to downvote someone else's work because they think it is overvalued, like why clip their wings if you want hive to grow? I know it balances the reward pool, but it also makes that post less visible. So if big accounts went around doing this they could be controlling what people see on Hive, what is decentralized about that?
