The rewards that are removed from posts go to trending and popular post maybe all of it or some of it, mayhaps some of it to the DHF which is controlled by very few very high stakes profiles, which also patrol the trending and receive a portion of that too.
I am sorry, I don't understand the question.

The rewards "removed" by downvotes stay in the Rewards Pool, and then are distributed among all upvoted authors and their curators.
The higher stake you have, the more power you have - it's called Hive Power for a reason.
btw, the DHF has loads of funds, we spend only a small portion of it.
