I have my proxy as @informationwar and if you want to take a look at that feel free. I dont know all the people that are voted on it but I picked the best 30 I could at the time.

Personally I havent been downvoted that I can remember recently, but that's likely because I put a limit on how much my post can earn. I have been doing that as a proactive measure to avoid being downvoted because I likely will, as well as sometimes my posts are super short.

In general, I have noticed that the "old way of doing things" on Hive seems to be on the way out. People are wise to what Justin Sun did when he took over Steem. Some Hive people have massive amounts of Hive and we still have the same issues carried over from Steem. Some Steem issues went away and others like having the same people on charge who sank Steem remain a problem.

From what I see, the same top witnesses who allowed people to go on rampant downvoting and constantly cussing people out on Steem are starting to get the boot. I would really like if people stopped swearing at eachother when commenting back and forth. Everytime I see a top witness doing that it makes me cringe, because the chain looks like it's being ran by teenagers who want to resort to name calling and fighting on the playground. Again, as long as those people stop that, while also turning their downvoting efforts to focus on spam bots, plagiarism, illegal content then I am ok with them. Currently those things should be downvoted in my opinion.

This chain is 5.5 years old now. I think it's time to really evaluate who we vote for and who is in charge of it. Downvoting has never really been critically attacked for the censorship that it is, the definition of Censorship isnt "deleted", its Suppression. Many people continue to comment Hive is censorship free, censorship is built into the protocol as downvoting.

What happens when a post is downvoted? It is suppressed. What's the definition in all dictionaries for hundreds of years for Censorship? Suppression. So I'm going to continue to point this out over and over and over again.

Downvoting needs a huge rework.
In regards to plagiarism, graphic content not tagged as nsfw, or illegal content, downvoting is ok for that stuff. But theres better ways of dealing with these things like seeing content you dont like, Blacklists that each user already has access to utilize or muting someone so you dont see their content. There are global blacklists too.
