I spent last night working with the new design.
It is a good one.
I was wrong.
I was afraid that more steps were to be required, ie, going to hiveblocks, but it seems you have not hidden the votes, just changed where they were linked.
You have done a good job with this change.

We should hide those automatic downvotes that are only a trigger and only show larger ones if someone decide to follow them on hive.vote.

This I do not agree with.
I think there should be more crab bucket action so that the top 20 accounts no longer control 50% of the rewards pool.
I found that we cannot follow these trails on hive.vote because they don't have 1000hp.
So, unless the person creating that initiative can overcome that obstacle, they are pointless.
