One downvote does more harm than 100 upvotes. That is psychology. If Hive wants to grow it should end the downvote option.

You're correct about the psychology. A lot of social experiments have been done showing this.
Exactly - downvotes have been used to bully people on Steemit for four years, and now the same is happening on Hive. It is one of the biggest impediments to growing the platform. The cover story that it's to control abuse is just bollocks - it's mostly used to control content and drive users off the platform - always has been. Downvoting sucks and Hive needs to bin it.
