Because of this https://peakd.com/hive/@myothuzar/re-hurtlocker-20251223t223057459z
This is called an appeal to emotion. It is a clear example of fallacious reasoning.
Just take a step back and think about what you are doing. You are taking personal details from your own life that have nothing to do with HIVE and you are using that information to tug on people's heartstrings.
You want me to do something because you say you are poor, not because it makes logical sense.
The problem is, it does not make logical sense. It is not an interesting argument. The reward pool is paid by everyone that owns HIVE through inflation. It doesn't matter if they have swap.HIVE on Hive Engine, HP, or it is just sitting on Binance. Everyone who owns HIVE pays for the reward pool. What you are doing does not impact me, it impacts literally everyone in the world who owns HIVE.
Every person who owns HIVE (not HP but HIVE) is paying for your food and supporting your lifestyle. That is the reality.
If we do this for people, the logical conclusion to this is HIVE goes to 0.
So if people want me to support you that's fine. I am open to it. But I want someone to tell me they are ok with this being HIVE's mode of operation.
Is HIVE ok with only doing good but not making money? I think we need to do both or everything breaks.
My posts already had low payout, they didn't need downvote to reduce more in my opinion. I read other articles about downvoting. Other people are more interested in downvoting from over-rewarded posts. In other article from over five years ago, there are comments about losing users from steem because of downvoting too.

Downvoting is a sensitive topic. I agree. If we want to remove downvotes from the protocol I am open to that and will adjust.
Your post payouts were still higher than a lot of other people after my original downvote. Then you used an appeal to emotion to try to frame me as a bad person.
You said I hurt you? The reward pool is not anyone's it is everyone's. There is a difference.
I have talked to people about being "overrewarded" no one can tell me what that number is. Is it based on HIVE? Is it based on USD? Is it based on Nara? No one knows, it is totally subjective.
Your KE 14.01. You sell the majority of your HIVE for living expenses based on what you said. I do downvote people with high KE. I think downvoting someone who sells everything and is not interested in being an investor in the ecosystem is legitimate.
I downvote manually. You are not on a list.
I didn't frame you as a bad person, I am just telling you my condition and my feeling. We are different person and we have different lives and different conditions. Something you think that doesn't hurt much is hurting a lot more in other peoples and other lives because we are different persons, we have different feelings and we lives different lives.
