"Low effort" mentality has no place in the cryptocurrency world imo. That's part of the old money paradigm that we're trying to evolve out of.

I used to be targeted by a downvoter who faithfully showed up to downvote my every single day. As you said, it's best to ignore it, and I just faithfully kept posting what I like to post every day, and lo and behold, they finally got bored and moved along. Mind you their downvote was for pennies or a fraction of a penny.

We lost @kennyskitchen who was a really big part of the eco system here for me and a lot of other people because he was getting downvotes that cost him a lot of money. That would be so, so upsetting if you had come to a place where you were earning really decent money on here. It's something I hope we can solve. I heard a Native American teacher (deveenhant_dudawanup on Tik Tok) talking about capitalism a couple weeks ago, and he said we will never be rid of it as long as there are people who want to be on the top of a pyramid and be more important than others. Something for us to think about here on Hive as I think we're birthing a new economic system which will mean a different way of living in the world. Do we want some people to wield more power than others? If so, for what reason? If not, for what reason. These questions will have far-reaching implications I think. Indeed, the pyramid is certainly present here on Hive, but I would argue that people who are against it are probably here for the precise motivation of they themselves getting to the top of a pyramid and getting rich. The pyramid is deeply built into everything that we are, and we've certainly brought that into the basis of cryptocurrency. Is that really what we want? If we continue with the pyramid, will cryptocurrency indeed be a much better system than the one we currently have in place now? Important things for us to think about.
