The issue of DV is complicated. I think it must be used conscientiously and fairly. After four years at Hive, it was only now in 2025 that I started following some DV trails because I think we need to have ways to stop abuse by clever people.

I personally haven't delt with DV, but that doesn't mean I don't have eyes and ears, and understand that if you don't comply to 'some peoples rules', you will be downvoted and sometimes it's permanent, and if that happens, most people will stop posting hence censorship winning. So technically you can't be shut down, but psychologically you are.
I understand your point of view and agree with it too. I think DV is the last resort against opportunists, if we can somehow prove that they are abusing the system to earn more money or defraud in some way, for example, by entering a contest twice, things like that.
