This was blatant downvoting abuse and illustrative of the many systemic dysfunctions killing the blockchain.

In case you hadn't noticed, Hive is ranked #159 with a market cap of $144 million ... which means it barely has a pulse. If ever it is to be resuscitated, it will need an influx of high quality content creators ... people capable of creating content that would be of interest to those outside the CryptoSphere.

People like @jaynie. And myself. And an army of talented publishers who long ago quit the blockchain due to the endless bullshit and endemic cheating (much of it orchestrated by Whales and Witnesses). Years ago, Jaynie created an organization called the PowerHouse Creatives for exactly that purpose. I was a member. In spite of rampant blockchain corruption, progress was being made. PHC was setting an example to be emulated by others and a few enlightened whales took note and provided support. There was reason for hope. Alas, it was all for naught as the few gave way to the many.

Incidentally, if you're so determined to find posts that merit reward adjustment, might I suggest you spend a bit of time in Trending. The circle-jerking amongst Whales is a pattern impossible to miss.
