Okay you're really taking it too far now being "concerned" over the consensus, it's getting borderline cringe and I can't help but feel it's all about the rewards in the end. These whales may be mean and maybe overdownvoting some posts but just cause it's happening to you doesn't mean they actively go and do the same to new users or new content creators - in fact they curate them along with everyone else as long as they produce quality content that deserves the votes. This one whale does not agree with the rewards some of your posts have received and has used his influence on the reward pool to adjust that, others may adjust it back up if they don't agree with his downvotes.
It's really starting to just look like you're out for drama. I don't want to be mean but trying to pull on the "omg this is bad for hive and new content creators" is not going to work, as a curator who focuses on rewarding new users and content creators I can tell you that they almost never get downvoted. The difference between you and them is that they produce quality content and often times exclusive for Hive - even tho the latter is not a requirement. If you think you can use your influence to shit on hive just cause your own experience (rewards) sucks right now while you pretty much have no knowledge about the platform and what goes on here I'm going to try and let you know that your following on Twitter really doesn't mean much, nor does the Binance nomination. It's a good thing though cause it means we're still very early in the adoption of this tech considering how little quality influencers there are out there to choose from and how their influence is most of the time originated from buying followers with random giveaways or spam tweeting.
I supported your content in the past, especially those that I thought took some effort to create or benefited Hive in some way so the rewards would be justified but what you're showing here lately, regardless of how some whales are treating you is almost worse and I will be looking to cast my votes and attention elsewhere.
I know you're going to say I'm fearful of the whale and that's why I'm siding with him, and even though I've known him for over 4 years on the platform there have been many times we've been in conflict and called each other names, etc. It's decentralization, you can't please everyone and you can't be friends with everyone, each move you make may alter the course of your future rewards on the platform. There's been times I've given my opinion on something random and it has cost me witness votes or downvotes on my content, but I can tell you it was way worse on Steem. Needless to say most of the drama stems from downvotes and most of the time that's about the rewards. If you don't like downvotes then maybe twitter or other platforms without downvotes/dislikes is your place to be.
