Yea writing about downvotes is low hanging fruit because it is such an avoided topic. I think people want to talk about it though and my comments section shows that.

Me upvoting comments helps people to participate but I think that is how HIVE should be used. One reason engagement is so low on this platform (imo) is people optimize voting for rewards vs optimizing for engagement.

Increased communication on HIVE is good as it gives us an opportunity to refine our understanding of how the platform should be used.
