Yes certainly, and I must say I am confused about the purpose of the downvote cause from the start of hive it has taken a fluid definition that changes to what the community interprets as outside the status quo.
I watched a data leaker get voted off steem, many years ago, @thedarkoverloard. Was leaking classified documents and asked to leave steemit, I never understood why that was downvoted or not acceptable for hive.
Now I am being flagged for running a general blog, and the downvote was introduced to me as a antiplagarism too, I have no idea how to defend an argument against a fluid definition of a downvote.
What is the general utility of the downvote and why is it being used to demonitize people's content?
I was getting way more engagement when I was trending, and the only reasons I have ever been given for the flags I received are because I was accused of being anti vax and lacking engagement.
What engagement was I lacking?
Half of the comments I have are people who don't trust the vaccine and won't interact with me anymore because I am flagged and they won't curate content because then they get flagged as well.
I have my sources usually in the footer of my posts, but no one has ever accused me of misrepresenting information.
Why is the downvotes used to demonitized people I guess is my question?
I just found this article that shares some of the concerns I have,
