Yes, a very weak point of HIVE in my opinion: a 'whale' (or a user supported by a trail etc.) can destroy the HIVE career of every smaller user whenever they please by automatically downvoting every single post of their victim. Only in very rare cases I ever saw that other whales stepped in to protect anybody and counter the downvotes (I guess due to the unwritten rule that "Hawks will not pick out hawks' eyes.").
I guess you will call that "decentralized", I call it POBP: "Proof Of the Bigger Pocket". :-)

I always see you HIVE freaks lamenting on Twitter (X) and wherever else why nobody recognizes the "great decentralized HIVE blockchain", but I think exactly examples like this here are the reason.
However, I had this discussion so many times before, and I am well aware that I have no influence to change anything here.

So good luck @andrianna, you will need it ...

And apart from that we won't agree, I wish you all the best @gtg.
