I'm only in my second week here but it's impressive to see so many people who have been around for so long. Things like an apparent penalty some people might get from downvotes sound a little scary, but so far I've been focusing on the experience rather than the payouts and been having a good time. So maybe any downvotes won't affect me that much just in case ;-)
Have a good weekend!

Downvotes are a tiny part of Hive, but people can feel it's unfair. It's just best to be honest in what you do here. I think most people have a positive experience.
So far from what I've experienced there's much less upvoting going on than on platforms that don't have restrictions on how many you can do, and where they don't have a direct economic impact. So I guess that doubles for downvotes, as they're less effective in directing value
Voting here has a cost as well as giving value. If you build up some HP, then the cost is fairly irrelevant, but you still run down your voting power. Most people can't give much rewards, but that does not mean they should not vote. A lot of it is automated, but mine is mostly manual and I can give out a few dollars per day that I spread around. We can give less downvotes per day, but most people never use them.
Thanks for the explanation!
