Here's an idea.

I had 12,000 HP before I rage quit over hives downvoting issue.

If you could Peg the value of my vote, as that was my main purpose to have staked hive, to the equivalent of my highest held Hive Power. Then that would incentivize it for me.

You could potentially do this for all people, offering them a share equal to the largest sum of powered up Hive that the account had ever held.

You would be buying back the lost vested interest in Hive, from people who were committed to the idea and likely just left due to down voting. I know at least 5 people who just vote on Hive and have upwards of 25,000 HP, they don't post because whales downvote them.
