RE: After dedicating 5.5 years to Hive/Steem, I've been informed by KING ACIDYO that I added no value

We will likely have to agree to disagree on the relationship between inflation rewards and free speech. I think free speech can thrive independent of inflation rewards, and these rewards can (and in my

A large payout on a post only effects everyone else’s payout by a tiny bit and so we’d rather let it slide Yes I understand that people who aren't significant stakeholders and are only on the receiving

That's an arbitrary number, but if you're concerned with rewards being distributed more broadly, I'm pretty sure downvotes are helpful not harmful in practice. The higher payouts get downvoted more. The

We have downvotes as a check on abusive upvotes, wouldn't it make sense to have some kind of check on abusive downvotes? They're not equivalent. Upvotes earn rewards and generate payouts, downvotes don't.

That only happens because of too few downvotes. If there are 50 people or 500 people downvoting, they're not going to retaliate against all of them. Alternately, smaller stakeholders can stick with downvoting

Excuse me? Except for posts involving downvote drama and other insider nonsense that has no or negative marketing value (but still perfectly legitimate to debate, just don't expect to be paid for it),

RE: Renaissance - watercolor and ink on paper

I saw the reward as excessive. Nothing wrong with the post. I delivebately sized the downvote to only reduce the reward a moderate amount.

Like I said, I don't hate it but I prefer the way it works now. When we downvote overpaid stuff in the top 100 (which is nearly if not 100% of what I downvote, and I suspect a large portion of total downotes),

I don't think it's that bad but burning and shifting away from one payout are two different things and voters ought to be able to do both. If voters think more should be burned overall (that is, that the

I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, and if you don't mind me saying so, you have an obvious interest is claiming that you getting downvoted "looks bad". I'm not buyng it. Document all you

RE: Some sunrise shots around the city I live

Upvotes were excessive in my opinion. I deliberately made a limited downvote to not reduce rewards too much.

RE: After dedicating 5.5 years to Hive/Steem, I've been informed by KING ACIDYO that I added no value

The correct answer is more subtle. If you're downvoting a post in the top 100 (almost always what I downvote since I don't spend a lot of time looking for downvote candidates), you are actually reducing

I see it as the same sort of insider drama. By all means, go ahead and post and debate but I don't see added value to Hive that justifies rewarding it (but if enough stake disagrees with me, it'll get

I didn't entirely understand that, but I do agree that in cold rational terms, conflict can have value to social media. Many people would consider that a problem, but it is what it is.

There is some marketing. It could definitely be better.
