DPoS consensus, thus how the platform you are on is designed. I would say that no not every proposal will have full community consensus, but hey neither does every post. If every post and therefore every payout had to be approved by the large majority of the community, I assume authors rewards would look quite different. But alas, that’s how the system is designed.

As far as revising, I would love to hear ideas on how to do such. I break down the hourly wage in another comment as well as describe how “showing work” is difficult in this regard but am working on ways to improve it.

I think the idea that I’m doing harm is a bit odd, but would most definitely love to hear tips on how to improve.
