The majority will be responsible with the free downvotes. It's not some big conspiracy, it's simply a necessary function that wasn't being used to its full potential. If this was a house packed with people, nobody was cleaning up. People were complaining about the mess, but only a few of us were attempting to clean. I became annoyed because my downvote wouldn't even put a dent in some of that junk they were dumping all over the front lawn. Everyone else on the internet could see our mess as they drove by, and kept on driving, yet this used to be a nice place for people to stop in and relax. Something needed to be done.

HF22 was a bug fix that required a hardfork. Plenty of people inspected it. If there was something else, everyone would know.

2000 SP was once worth about $16000. Wouldn't it be nice to get the ball rolling here again? This cryptocurrency and blockchain is one of the only ones out there that actually does something. All those doom and gloomers help contribute to the lack of confidence. If anything, they're the conspiracy working against the platform. Seems strange they'd put so much effort into disturbing the peace, for free. Maybe a competitor pays them to be annoying. Who knows!

Less money to comments just means more money to posts, and I thought that's what people wanted. I was always upvoting comments to give folks a curation reward boost. They get that by default now, but I'll still upvote comments from time to time. I just won't say when and where.
