Very sorry to read this @zuerich, as it touches on the single biggest reason why I stopped writing any content on our Hive blockchain (other than occasional commenting), for 1-½ years. And, very frankly, makes me question what on earth I am doing deciding recently to take it up again ...

• As simply as I can state it, there is an aspect of injustice to it, ...

for which any aggrieved party,
has no

effective means

of redress!
Full stop. Period.

• Exacerbated / aggravated by the unwillingness (in far too many instances) of these people to invest some time in letting the downvoted authors know why they have been ... "attacked" ...

• The loss of value to our Hive blockchain is far greater than any supposed "gain." There has to be a better way found, to accomplish their stated objectives. Far better ...

• With that said, a little investigation (upon my reading your post this morning) turned this up, written only a short time ago. A sign of "the corner being turned?" 🤷‍♂️

• Maybe ... Maybe ... But, if so, painfully slow ...

Keep on keeping on, my friend! Perhaps there is a new day dawning on the Hive blockchain! 🌄
