I don't think wolf is someone who would retaliate with downvotes based on someone speaking their mind about his services, or at least not auto-dv or some other stupid shit we seeing some people do lately.
We're still a long way from countering abusive downvotes tho, I have to admit. Can't even begin looking at that with ocdb yet as there's still so much profitable votes being sold just so the bid bot owners earn more ROI than honest curators. Once that is finally dealt with we'll be moving onto countering downvotes and breaking off voting rings.
Hard to tell where to start and where to stop. It would be interesting for me to read your opinion on SBI in HF22 and later. It seems to have all characteristics of a full-fledged upvote cycle while beeing popular.
I have to agree, been looking a bit at it and qurator but so much going on lately it's hard to keep tabs.
