Face it. It’s never about censorship. It’s always been about money for the likes of you.

That, sir, is just stupid.

People are attracted to Steem for multiple reasons, one of the reasons obviously is money and there is nothing wrong with that, and if you think there is you don't even understand how and why Steem was made. In fact most of the downvoters are claiming they are doing it with the objective of raising the value of the network, so if anyone is out for money it is the downvoting crowd.

Others come to Steem believing in the immutability and anti-censorship claims Steem's community falsely promises people. Just yesterday I read a post from a guy new to Steem mentioning that he came to Steem because he believes Steem's values are the same as his in respecting free speech and open discussion. Poor bastard...

Look, at this point, we just need to decouple POB from STEEM and let it be a part of SMTs (optionally) instead. That will most likely solve a lot of the toxic behavior from the downvoters and they're have to make an SMT to have their little power trips within their tiny community of unpleasant people.

Peace.
