Well actually, my sick Grandad is what's really on my mind at present but I don't feel like writing about that today. So a brief analysis piece as I was tagged in the comments of the post linked will suit me fine today.
Just check who is among the top downvoters you excluded. Are these the accounts we want to encourage?

All in all, there is not a lot of owned SP there - most of it is Steemit Incs delegations.
realcleaner and abusereports are owned by whales with a big sense of humour :)
First: I wishing your grandfather the best.
Second: we know who the good guys are. My worry is that the new changes will mainly be abused by toxic accounts.

Thank you.
I don't think the situation can get worse. For the most part, average users producing reasonable content are not flagged.
There is however a constant stream of comment farming, content indifferent voting, and plagiarism.
