I am still scared of downvoting as I dont want retaliation. An alt account COULD be a good way to do this but far out, does my head in switching betwewn various accounts already. Kudos to those who are DELIBERATELY seeking them out and using up their downvotes.
Im still at a losss at why posts at less than 20 steem get less. So far no one has been able to explain the logic of this to me.
If you look at some of the links, they are littered with downvotes - don't be afraid, you are in the majority :)
I'm not the right person to explain in detail, but an adjustment to the reward curve is something to do with it!
