I'm not against people cashing out, but I'm only going to vote them up if I see them as adding value in other ways. We can each vote as we want, but I do think it needs to be targeted more rather than relying on automatic voting. Hive really needs more 'professional' content that will attract views from the wider internet. We have a little of that and if it does well then others may give it a go, especially if they struggle to earn much elsewhere.
There can still be a place for people posting shadow photos or whatever they like, but I think Hive would change if it got to millions of active users. These may be the boom times for some of us. Building a stake at least lets you earn more from curation.
Everyone can vote here as they wish, your stake, your decision. But once the Hive is earned, in my opinion, it is up to the people themselves to decide how to deal with it. And yes, it is nice if many people build up a stake, good for the blockchain, etc ... but if that possibility is not there because people need it for whatever reason, I think that no one has a say in that. The vote that you do or do not give should not be based on that in my opinion. Fortunately, you talk about other ways of adding value to Hive, but then we should also have a bit of a discussion about "how do you add value to Hive?". What are the criteria for that? Let's say that I don't find it of added value that other people would judge whether they give me a vote based on my wallet size. That is rather demotivating and is certainly not an advertisement for the Hive Blockchain Community.
People will each make their own decision on this. That may include looking at how the potential vote recipient uses their rewards, but I expect most don't do that. You just can't generalise and I'm not going to tell people how to use their vote apart from trying to make it do good for Hive. You may want to support artists who need the funds for materials or just to pay the bills.
People get accused of all sorts of things and it can be hard to prove them. Let's try to do good where we can.
I don't like seeing people who keep selling their Hive, powering down and other stuff. I never do any powering down at all... However about that power stuff, it can not be judged by one or two parameters only, as you said above.
HIVE to HIVE based can not represent the whole situation. Let say a person buy $1000 worth of HIVE when HIVE was $1, he got 1000 HIVE there. Then one day he sold 2000 HIVE at $0.2 and made $400. does that guy deserve to be labeled as abuser and get punishment? He is still at negative $600 there.
But I just a small fish here in the sea of orcas. My words worth nothing
Just because you don't like seeing it doesn't mean it can't be a necessity for someone else. The person in your example doesn't deserve to be punished, he probably needed the money, otherwise, he wouldn't sell at such a loss. That's at least how my reasoning works.
Don't worry about being a small fish in a sea of orca's. Small fishes also have a say. Or, at least, I would like to see it that way.
Agree, hive was supposed to be different, instead of focusing on growing the community, the focus has been on punishing the community for selling the earned rewards. Don't bother upvoting this comment it will get downvoted by @buildawhale and the likes just before the payout time.

Interesting post....what is adding value to hive? we have thought about this question quite a bit...
There are many ways to add value to Hive but punishment for 'bad behavior' is not one of them.
$0.05 and we will start serious investments in HIVE.
I hope we won't see Hive that low, but time will tell
