Lets be honest. If Hive worked the way it should then downvotes would never be required. because the people of the blockchain determine what should be upvoted and what should not be upvoted not a single entity. These curation accounts should have zero down vote capabilities. If there's a required downvote then there's a huge flaw in the system IMO but also goes to prove why a 100% decentralized solution would never work. Peoples natural greed takes over and it turns into spam and hording of the reward pool like we have seen on steem.
So that's where I come down to. Hive is policed just like a web2 blockchain when you think about it. But honestly that's ok because I never see a world were true decentralization will work.
