Hi @slobberchops, I think this detailed answer at least deserves a reply.

@tanbay, many people here don´t like dtube and how they betrayed Hive. So the downvotes are probably to de-incentivize users to post on dtube regardless if you are an exception from the spammers there. I would really consider stopping the reblogging on Steem or dtube. At the end of the day you have to do a calculation of what is more worth, the SEO or the rewards on Hive? I also curate mostly people who commit to Hive and not try to grab rewards everywhere (and by this supporting Steem and other shit chains).
