Regardless, these people have chosen to reward me with their stake that allocated inflation to my content. But some people don't think I'm allowed to keep the rewards that others have allocated to me.

As someone who is no stranger to being downvoted heavily for months on end, the rewards aren't yours until they are in the wallet after 7 days. Up until payout, they are up for negotiation.

As for accounts that are earning 100s from automated link drops from other sites where they haven't bothered to reply to any of the very few comments they get for half a year - they should be downvoted. It isn't suppressing some kind of truth, all the content is still there to read for the very few who seem to actually click on a link out to another site to view and then come back to comment - it is ridiculous.

For the accounts that get some automated large votes and then spam to milk them - they should get downvoted too.

I say "should" but it is up to the stake to downvote or upvote - it is also up to the stake to delegate to accounts that upvote or downvote - delegation can be removed in literally 3 seconds.

The information content itself matters, and if others value it and want to reward it (like I do), then that content should be allowed to keep the rewards

Again, the information may have value, but it doesn't necessarily have HIVE value. content that is spammed all over the internet on the very platforms that they are complaining about, doesn't have Hive value.

Many Hive users value Hive content, because this is where their stake is, their money, their future. Many Hive staked people value Hive people for the same reasons. If the same content can be found elsewhere without it linking back to Hive or bringing in Hive users willing to be part of the community, it doesn't have Hive value. If the accounts are dumping non-valuable Hive-content onto Hive for reward and often on top, then dumping that reward on the market, but don't even care enough to comment on Hive or support Hive in anyway - they aren't Hive people.*

This is what has been happening to me for months now. I post for a bit, leave for a few months, come back, and still this 'curangel' account is there to downvote me over 50%-75% on average. A few times it was about 90% of rewards removed, and once or twice it was 100% due to another whale joining in the downvoting.

And for a little context in value - I haven't had a day off from Hive in almost 4 years and I am pretty well rewarded, I also put out decent quality posts daily and spend a massive amount of time on the platform for all kinds of things, including supporting others in various ways - you have still earned more than me on your main account - you might have other accounts, I don't know.

You are not a victim mate.
