Frankly I'm against having a centralized entity doing this job, controlled by one person. Not to mention the fact that this entity is earning A LOT more in DHF funds than they protect by downvoting (primarily) tiny users, but that's besides the point.
This entity alone is the most centralized aspect of Hive, and frankly functions as its own worst enemy, despite the good intentions with which it began.
If we have decentralized entities (individuals) doing the same downvoting, you wouldn't hear opposition from me.
Hope that makes sense, because I'm not against the downvoting mechanism (and the concept of "rewards aren't guaranteed") in general.
I agree, but unfortunately the majority of those touting decentralization don't actually understand it or want it. That's why the HW DHF has passed. People want others to do the dirty work for them. That being said, recently HW withdrew the proposal for 350HBD a day and introduced one asking for much less at 95HBD
Didn't see that! It's a least a bit more reasonable (not to say that I'd support it).
Anyway... we'll see what happens with this user. Not sending rewards just yet.
