No, downvoting is not THE scam - but it is a tactic being used by the scammers.

The scam is to create new tokens, pump them, dump them, then do it again.

And meanwhile the bigger scam is to control the Hive reward pool and gradually replace all the real bloggers with AI and contractors.

We saw all this play out on Steemt so it's no surprise, I just thought they could hold it together longer second time round. I've nearly finished pulling all my Hive out, and as with Steemit I will be a lot less restrained when I'm no longer an investor, or expecting any rewards :)
