has strongly affected the growth of Hive and the value of it's token.

This is debatable.

and null or negative rewards for undertaking that investment will inevitably discourage creators from doing so.

I am one of the content creators who has taken the most DVs on this platform, and it has had nothing to do with the content I create and, if you haven't noticed, I put in my effort consistently daily - regardless. But, I understand enough that this place doesn't pay a salary, nothing is mine until it is in my wallet, safely behind my keys.

Also, if you haven't taken note, many of the topics that are getting downvoted here, I actually write about too - so it isn't "ideological suppression" is it?

I remain absolutely confident that Hive's ability to prevent plagiarism, scams, and spam can be maintained without enabling the incalculable harm that comes to our community from the historical and continuing censorship of creators of content odious to well staked individuals and the Hive oligarchy.

This is a bit of loaded nonsense.
