Disagreement over rewards has been one of the canonical reasons for downvoting from the very beginning. There's nothing wrong with that. Having 20% of one's relatively large pending rewards removed should not be a reason for dissatisfaction.
Abusive downvoting is a thing, though. But not in this case. The author is still doing quite well for herself. These selfies are worth clearly more than zero although not quite the $20. Abusive downvoting is what a certain TA "expert" used to do when someone downvoted his vastly over-rewarded placeholder posts. Thank goodness, while he was included in the airdrop (as far as I know), he's been focusing on milking STEEM instead. In the worst case, the targets of his automated downvotes used to be unable to earn any author rewards whatsoever for weeks or months on end.
so true!!
The selfies are fine. Just not worth $20. This particular post that does nothing but complain about downvotes most definitely is not worth $25.
Yup, thats why anyone has the ability to flag on posts they believe are overrewarded.

Yup. Rewards are not yours until they’ve paid out.
