They don't have the vast holdings of POB that would allow them to dominate as in Hive. But POB does still have downvoting, so someone like me can't earn author rewards on POB either because I have to have them turned off as I'm being attacked in Hive.

VYB on the other hand is seperate in that regard with no downvoting. So my posts are now being paid out in VYB while turned off in Hive and POB.

My hope is that if VYB ever comes under serious attack from the Hive insiders, a hard fork would be possible.

But this is all way over my head!
