Congrats on 8 years! And still going strong on to 9th! Here I am just nearing my 4th.

Downvotes huh. One of, if not, the most contested topic in Hive. What's funny is that a lot of those arguing against it frequently use the term freedom to post whatever they want, and to do whatever they wish with their account. But they conveniently seem to disregard that those downvoting are also just using their own freedom to do so. They're like kids having a tantrum when they receive a 'No'.
