Hello once again, fellow HIVE users from all around the world as well as dear readers from both HIVE and outside of it. For today's last personal blog post on my personal blog as well as here on the LeoFinance community, I just wanted to share the fact that today was the first experience of mine being downvoted through a series of normal posts of mine here on the LeoFinance community.

While I do not know exactly why this happened (and, frankly speaking, at the moment I wouldn't really like to know why), I would like to thank those who downvoted my posts on no grounds (there were massive downvotes by dolphins and orcas while we are at it) and still wish them plenty of success here on HIVE.
However, as a personal opinion if I may, I don't think that this is a productive approach, namely to downvote smaller users such as minnows but, given the fact that they have the power to do so, the respective users can do whatever they want with it, after all...
I would've expected at least several arguments in the comments' section but it was just plain hate, at least so do I perceive it. If you've been massively downvoted lately by some dolphins and orcas here on LeoFinance or in general here on HIVE, please let me know in the comments' section of this post as I am rather curious about your experience as well (and very sad about it too).
All the best and plenty of success here on HIVE to everyone (even those who downvoted me and/or other minnow users)...
P.S.: As an additional personal opinion, if I am allowed please, I strongly think that the downvote button can become an abuse sometimes, an abuse of power namely by the strong given to the weak. I previously thought HIVE was so much better than that but today I was shown that, albeit HIVE still being an awesome community, there are isolated cases of plain hate and ruthless downvote carried by some dolphins and orcas to a minnow like me who just keeps on writing original content here on HIVE to the best of my capabilities...
Interestingly enough, those users downvoted posts related to peace, health, and music... and I can't see that much charity badges on their profiles if I am to check them, albeit being very, very rich here (at least compared to me). I wonder how would these things describe them...
