even My Giveaway Posts with Small Earnings are Taken Down
@ladymisa, @noctury, @sbruntz, @olaf.gui, @gs1, @jdike, @monsterbuster, @blitzzzz, @scfather, @daethical, @bossingclint, @jfang003, @waynechuasy, @houhou, @outwars, @oskarl21, @vaynard86, @stamato, @henruc, @stekene, @mxm0unite, @middle-earthling
They have downvoted all my Giveaway posts this week. I will most likely close my second account if I fail to negotiate with them (very unlikely to succeed).
And I apologize for not being able to announce the winner for yesterday's Giveaway. And thank you for participating in my Giveaways so far even though the prizes are not too big.

I had asking the PeakD team in Discord about it.
Sorry to hear about this. Your giveaway posts are innovative and it was always interesting to see what new cards were popping up rather than the normal chaos rewards giveaways.
Hopefully, they'll reconsider as this giveaway style particularly took more effort, was fresh and interesting.
I'll copy here my reply on the place where you asked to vote and give you a 100% upvote today:
I find it really unbelievable that on a DECENTRALIZED platform ANYBODY would try to imply rules of what can be posted and what can't be posted! If someone wants to post and host a giveaway he or she should be able to do that 100%, it's ok to critizise this and give your opinion, @hivewatchers, telling them WHY you don't like to see this kind of post but it's absolutely WRONG to act against it because it endangers the principles of a decentralized platform.
This place is NOT made to be a just blogging platform for people which don't have anything else to do than to write daily posts during several hours. Maybe it has been started by people that wanted to do this, but the ground principle of decentralisation is that users decide which way it's going... And under "users" we should not consider a few whales that "sponsor" each other and because of this stay the small circle that makes money here....
Decentralisation does not mean a license to freely exploit the ecosystem and/or the community.
it's so sad.if big people don't want to see this kind of posts.they can put them in a special collection. even a country government won't kill under people.but they do
It sucks to hear but I have noticed quite a few other giveaways get hit as well.
I hear more and more about such cases lately, sad... 🙁
