My momma always told me: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
I think downvoting is unnecessary, just not upvoting is enough.
I have only ever downvoted once, and after talking with the author, removed it...generally it does little more than steal from curators.
This downvote war nonsense and picking on people and wiping out their rewards simply because they are loosely associated with someone else in a war is BULLSH$&!!! Even worse that the trolls never seem to post or do anything other than vote...no recourse for the rest of us...definitely not an ideal situation and making it free made it worse.
Not only that, it has a chilling effect...I am afraid to even comment here for fear that bloom will start with me too.
I have like 5 different camillesteemer accounts that downvote me...not really sure why, but I think I upvoted a berniesanders post like 8 months ago.
I could not agree more, Downvoting is some bad Karma that is being promoted
because of HF21...
They flagged and downvoted my comments the other day because i supported the AntiVaxxers,
the sane people! ;) on a RT blog, reporting about protesters in NY...
Write directly to the witnesses e.g. cryptodrive (Ricardo) or UraSoul is cool, too.
They already removed a flag of my last Geoengineering Report, after i talked to
them reasonable.
Those trolls need to be removed.
Yep. I totally agree... We need to either eliminate downvoting altogether, or we need to strictly limit the amount of downvotes any one user can place on another, ESPECIALLY if they are not content providers. Making it so that downvotes cost nothing was a huge mistake, IMHO.
Stay well, and thanks for stopping by. Your comments are much appreciated.
I was serious - I use partiko to access steemit from my phone and there is no ability to downvote there. I see it now that I logged into steemit from the web.
OH...lol... Yea, it's a major drawback of the platform, especially since hardfork 21 made it so the downvoter suffers no loss in steem, no matter how much he/she downvotes others.
It looks to me like the downvotes cost far less than the upvotes. I don't see that they are governed by any curve. I could be wrong. I would like to point out that I am now afraid to voice my observations of the fork because I fear retribution. I am even a bit concerned just commenting on your post will draw some powerful entity's ire, and a 5% downvote from one of those would leave any of my posts well into the red.

Oh I did not think of that, that the downvotes steal from the curators as well as the author. They are doing harm along with any good.

just followed you though. I like your content.
Thanks! I've followed you as well.

Howdy mepatriot! I didn't know the leaders or owners of Steemit considered themselves Libertarians. I never would have guessed that!
A lot of them do. Not all.
