Down votes are obviously abused and at the root of it, as usual, is money. This is why I do not understand. after being put on a blacklist, why I should continue on Hive. 
@hivewatchers is just one big negative for the community and that is led by the power of the down vote. 
I love Hive and especially InLeo.io but I am unwilling to put my crypto earnings in the hand of a few big players or groups.
I am just noting this so hopefully in the future if the community stifles hivewatchers unjust (broken links to appeals) power then I will return.
Until then I will continue my power downs and role everything into Pulsechain.
