This is not "the direction" hive is going simply because you were downvoted.
Downvotes only show disagreement with content/author, not anything else. Don't forget, hive is also a cryptocurrency so shilling it is still in your benefit when you consider your bags.
Sorry about the downvotes but like I said, it is not the "direction" of Hive. It is a downvote.
It's not just the downvotes at this point. I made one post about the downvotes indicating that I have tons of love for Hive and want to be here, the comments by your high ranking stakeholders are what truly put me off.
They're still just people speaking their mind. Some large stakeholders also like you. At least you have their attention, so it means you're doing something right or wrong...either ways, you're doing something.
Nobody has the time or energy in their lives to be torn down and insulted the way your high ranking stakeholders have done to me. This will not adopt under these circumstances.
He was insulting this way the Steemit, Inc team and anyone who disagreed with him for years. He's always been this way.
Doesn't mean that how he talks is okay. You can always mute him. That's what I would do if I was in your place.
Dumb cry baby bitch.
