How dare you @azircon, good Sir. How dare you! Those rewards were for the top eight witnesses. I wanted to help them to put food on their family! You are #literallyhitler. I am so sorry to @arcange, @ausbitbank, @blocktrades, @good-karma, @gtg, @roelandp, @steempeak, and @themarkymark. I know times are tough and that doing the witness thing is often a thankless job. I merely wanted to show my appreciation. But that guy, apparently he doesn't want your family to eat. You all probably need to get carbon neutral and greenwash your amazon servers with new rainbows. Whatever FAGWAN says goes. Them's the breaks.

Unless, of course, you all ever decide to get creative and give people a good reason to invest in the token. So far, @aggroed's splinterlands takes the cake for bringing the business here. Meanwhile, we can't fix the simple social app (what got this place started) to not look like something out of a science fiction horror show. (Watch 'Black Mirror' episode called 'Nose Dive' (s03e01), watch 'The Orville' episode called 'Majority Rule' (s01e07), and watch the 'Community' episode called 'MeowMeowBeenz' (s05e08). How is there an App for everything but not a single dApp to fix the thought controllers? What if accounts that abusively downvote get a DV time-out for a couple of weeks?

Get good. You can do it! Hold secret meetings and don't invite these r-tards. @acidyo, @altleft, @azircon, @pharesim, @smooth. They're actively crippling everyone's investment, one user at a time. Bad news travels infinitely faster than good news, and this is why we're failing to launch proper-like. What if you capped the rewards to 50 HIVE and eliminated downvotes? Shunt the overage to votable chain development programs. Let's not get into PoB. I discredited it entirely on numerous occasions. The system we have here needs to evolve.

Nothing ought to get done with haste. Ignoring the user experience aspect of what happens on HIVE will only continue making the token look ugly. If someone ever strikes the right balance, your entire investment of time and money will be fucked because there will be a mass exodus. Blurt/HIVE is a false equivalency. HIVE maintained a quasi-first user advantage because the exchanges fucked us. Then they listed us to save face among the crypto community. Blurt didn't have that. And I'm not even saying get rid of downvotes. We need a solution to handle problem downvoters, to nudge them towards being less troublesome.
