Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with the community, and we need more of these talks, definitely... I miss the days of HIVE Town Halls with over 50-100 participants, where people would share ideas and figure out in which direction we should go...

Regarding downvotes on proposals... I know it was mentioned before, at least I asked a question about it, and there was a reason why we DON'T HAVE them, but to be honest, I forgot the reason behind it... Maybe it was because we had Return Proposal, which was shown a few months ago, in an obvious example that it isn't enough... Hopefully, we will implement downvotes on proposals, as with the current system, it's kind of demotivating for (ordinary) Hivians (not whales), to even check proposals, as their vote doesn't mean anything...

And when we are on that topic, I wouldn't say that smaller stakers don't care (or care less) about HIVE, governance, or the price... For a person who invests a lot of time, effort, and money, even a small stake means a lot... Some people will appreciate their hard-earned $10 more than others who got thousands "for free"...

Thanks for speaking up! Hopefully, it will motivate others to participate in this discussion as it's important, and it matters!
