Can t and does not happen on Blurt.

Hive's future, I believe, is already written on the wall. The downvote has already done plenty of social damage... and it's proponents are to blind to realize it as they attempt to normalize it's use.
The downvote (in it's current structure) is all but destroying Hive's marketability.
It's being used to signal self-censorship of thought throughout the blockchain (feedback and innovation is therefore not fully realized or possible).
It is being used to do what I call "Downvote SPAM", AND as a result, this systemic abuse is also driving away perfectly good investment and creative content.
It undermines the foundations of what crypto is really about. Full ownership and the ability to maintain the sovereign rights that make all things of worth work. It gives larger accounts the ability to own (this is a coder term that I'm using) smaller accounts ability to earn.
This creates an unfriendly environment where no one in their right minds can invite their friends, family, or famous.
I belive that Hive is ultimately going nowhere fast because of all these underlying (and seemingly unexamined?) reasons and in my mind has become the epitome of social disfunction.
Who knew that a main feature, like the downvote, could encapsulate so many undermining problems and create so much counter productive results?!
But I have a feeling you already have sussed this out for yourself...
I headed over to Blurt for a fresh start... I hope you will join me over there @jerrybanfield! 🙌

You're another one with connections to Blurt. Large stakeholder with integrity issues working on a smear campaign against Hive with your boys. Evidence of collusion can be found on Blurt. You're here to inject your narrative into the fray all while attempting to conceal the ulterior motive.
One of the main tactics being deployed is seeking out people in vulnerable and possibly desperate situations, while posing as saviors, and eventually suggesting the target bring their money with them over to Blurt. Doesn't matter what they did in the past, if you see someone being downvoted, you'll pounce. Nowhere else will these tactics be deployed.
It's more about getting your money back. You folks will say anything to make Hive look bad in the eyes of those who would like to hear those words. They get lured over then screwed over. That's been happening for months.
Sensationalism has no place in honest words. You sound more like an advertisement than a human with legitimate concerns. Very typical of you, Wil.
This sudden "interest" in Jerry is not based in authenticity. It's not a coincidence two Blurt witnesses (a pathological liar+thief and a troll) and now you show up seemingly out of nowhere to suddenly 'care' about someone, all while injecting the same old washed up and lopsided script you always use.
For someone who knows little about me... you sure have a lot to say. Pretty unfounded and opinionated. I'm wondering why you seem to care so much?
