I believe that they are honestly trying to do what is best for Hive, but they are unable to see what the smaller accounts here face. In some cases, they are a bit full of themselves, have taken on vigilante type personas that cause collateral damage. Then there are the sycophants who downvote whatever their favorite whale downvotes. At the very least, downvote trails should be done away with.

I miss a few accounts that were shamed for this or that, downvoted, and simply left. Good accounts! @buckaroobaby is the first one I think of. She'd reused a bunch of photos, but had completely changed the text, and got slammed. Not spam, not plagiarized, not repost. She left very soon after, and she was very good!
