We must deal with the downvote abuse on Hive it just makes Hive look bad πŸ˜”

The curation trails and the automated upvotes are probably much worse than that.

Many so called curators do not even see the content they upvote (curate).

This is one of the multiple reasons behind the general lack of real content consumers.

And honestly most people do not even care about the content.

Often not even as a content creator.

Most people focus so much on the monetary aspect (rewards) that they forget (do not care) about the content.

Most people focus on their own posts (or rather to get upvotes on them).

There is a general lack of real content consumers.

Most of the Hive posts are ignored/overlooked.

This is how most people socially ruin an otherwise technically revolutionary platform.

I agree the curation trails if you can even call them that I remember when I first started on Steemit when you meet people they was like I will put you on my curation trail πŸ˜‚

Many curators have not got any ideas how to curate and most of them are spammer's themselves

On Instagram and other places I get many people asking for a tipu curate vote in exchange for likes by curation trails πŸ˜‚ I always say the same thing if I like your content I will like your content and maybe even give a tipu curate vote I don't like for like

If better people was in control Hive would be a better place

Right now you have more freedom on blurt and Steemit which is bad for Hive

I've spoken to many people who are powering down to go to Steemit and blurt

The downvotes are hurting Hive

@tipu curate πŸ‘πŸΎ

I strongly agree. That has dispelled the massive crowd that jumped aboard in 2017 when I came. Almost all of them have been flagged off the platform, whatever stake they had sold off or sucked up by the whales. DV's concentrate stake in the largest wallets, increasing centralization and decreasing distribution.

@khrom agrees too.

Thanks!

Yes i know some of the first people who used Steemit in the test stage.

Downvotes won't fix Hive and as you say downvotes increase the centralization of Hive

Same whales voting the same people over and over again πŸ˜”

This is why I proposed the Stewards reprise. It diversifies curation.

Thanks!

To be honest I think some of those whales should just power down and F Off 😀

Hive would be a better place I mean you have more freedom on Steemit and blurt you even have more freedom on centralised platforms πŸ˜‚

Obviously the censorship and predatory taxation, infestation of bots, and other problems have degraded Hive to the point that many people find centralized platforms preferable. This isn't caused by the people that have come here. The code has caused those people to come here, and that's why they're here. These problems are fixable, but they aren't problems to the people that could fix them. They're why they came here.

They try not to call it censorship but it is πŸ€”

I've tried to promote Hive in the past and I got quite a lot of people to join but guess what happened most of them got downvoted and others just gave up. It's seems like they made Hive so they could have full control πŸ€”

As you say the one's who can fix the problems are not bothering because it is not a problem to them and the one's they support πŸ€”
