RE: Why is Hive not growing?

Exactly on all points, and both of those issues are challenges in their own right. I've wanted to create some sort of comprehesive educational framework, like a Hive School, to get newcomers off to a good start. The trouble is that with the seemingly increasing abusive downvotes, many such newcomers, and even people that are actively educating and onboarding people and businesses in their local communities, become very disheartened and discouraged, and I don't blame them one bit. By the way, what I consider abusive downvotes are when people's posts are downvoted, or they're even added to downvote trails, with zero communication. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
