That happens everywhere but on Reddit you can't tell who or what accounts are doing the downvoting since everything is private. Not to mention tencent owns Reddit shares and may manipulate what is being shown and not shown there. Here nothing gets deleted.
I apologise for my facetious comment. I do realise that steem is still better than reddit, I was just pointing out that recent developments here do not really help highlight our points of difference.
The downvote pool was highly needed or the abuse and milking would've remained the way it was, not to mention the bid bots and other things that did nothing for Steem. Bear in mind I'm saying this as someone who's being targeted by downvotes by certain users ever since.
Well, I think even if there are downvotes in Steem, it's not censorship at all. The information can still be seen, everything is recorded in the blockchain, which is not the case in Reddit (I'm assuming it's not so, being honest: I've never used Reddit, lol)
The hyperlink to the video is stored (which is not in the blockchain, as you said, it's out of it) but the information saved here (steem blockchain) will always be recorded :)
Downvoting censorship would never happen here on steem......oh wait.
Why are we here again?

Now we have the abuse of downvotes. It's not really a surprise :)
May your downvotes be well deserved and not punitive :)

Not everything. Those videos are not on the blockchain. They are on youtube. Only hyperlinks to them are stored on the blockchain.
