Extraction isn't always bad

I think extraction is always bad for Hive, though extraction doesn't immediately make you a bad person. If someone extracts some Hive, but also grows their account for me it's different than someone that extracts everything.

I think we should put more pressure on stakeholders to check what they're voting on and if they don't respond/care then downvotes adjusting the rewards down should be made more normal without drama involved.

I think we should have a discussion with stakeholders, big and small, about who we upvote. Downvotes always cause drama and I think not many people are willing to risk their account downvoting a large stakeholder. I'm not.

There's plenty of other things you can vote on that aren't a negative on hive if you feel like there's too few authors to vote on so you justify it that way to overreward the few that bring little value to the ecosystem.

People could upvote some more new authors (that would help user retention too) or structurally upvote projects. There are enough projects on Hive that are self supporting and could benefit from some extra upvotes.
I've been trying to promote that earlier, but that didn't took off.
