It’s more than that... yes. Irritating for sure. 🦟 I don’t call this method spam downvoting for no reason...

But it is primarily the degradation of what’s friendly and welcoming about Hive. If this is happening to me... a larger account here on Hive... imagine what effect it’s going to have on a smaller newer account. Someone we worked long hours to win over and spent real capital to reach. This isn’t a small thing.

This is not compounding a friendlier Hive... it is having the opposite effect.

It’s something that absolutely has got to STOP. NOW.
