It's not downvotes per se. It's downvotes not used as they were intended (to counter spam, farming, plagiarism rather than a means to satiate ego)

You really think people use downvote only for these things?

Please, it's same everywhere. Check reddit for example.

I look forward to Blurt for lack of downvotes. The problem is still that existing stake will likely still be a continued problem there as well.
