In general I think this genre is taking more from the rewardpool than it should compared to everything else on the internet in reflection to Hive, in the same wave I also think a lot of content about hive gets too much rewards as well but I don't see it being as potentially dangerous as causing people to infect others, etc. My personal opinion is that the plandemic discussions all over the internet are blown out of proportion, they either operate a lot of fake activity that takes in others along the way, a lot of fake/stolen content, (this person came up with this so let's respin this content so I also talk about this while leaving out facts and hyping up the content more). It feels like a lot of the unemployed people that were supporting trump, couldn't continue with that and had to find something else to do or get hired for protests, etc, are now on this bandwagon. Doesn't mean I disagree with all discussions, but if you see what other content this is causing - people running around shaming others for wearing masks, being obnoxious, vulgar and violent towards them, it's not something I like to see and I think a lot of that stems from these influencers who are monetizing something many themselves don't understand as long as it gets them clicks and growth.

I'm not one to jump onto downvoting cause others are, I also don't agree with zero'ing out posts, Hive is worth a considerable amount more than it was a few months ago so downvoting it to an extent where the autovoters can choose if they want to continue some times blindly supporting certain authors or content with their autovotes should be enough.

The few times I do get personal, hasn't happened recently, I use some downvotes on people I think are simply wrong, offensive or just cancer to the platform. If you notice I didn't go and downvote that dumbass that told me to suck his balls cause it's not worth it even if I could - actions cause reactions everywhere and Hive isn't immutable to that, it's even more prone to people reacting in different ways here with a lot more power and influence available than on other places on the internet.

I'm all for people posting their ideas, whatever they may be on an immutable chain, followers being able to view it, engage with it and reward such content in ways that can't be countered. Them feeling the entitlement that what they think should be rewarded should not be countered by anyone, going on to saying it's censorship and stuff like that is just stupid and makes me think it's just about the money and 99% of the time it is.
