We currently have about 0.1% downvoting. For anything close to 11% downvoting to become realistic (or even just 11% against the 30% that is allegedly involved specifically with bid bot schemes, ignoring other forms of self-voting) would require a revamp of downvoting as well.

Downvoting hasn't been the same since we moved to linear rewards.
When your vote can add 5c to your mate, or remove $5 from a piece of rubbish; you're going to roll up your sleeves and get yo' flag on.
When your vote can add 50c to your mate, or remove 50c from a piece of rubbish; you're going to look after your mate. We don't need a revamp of downvoting, we need an unrevamp.
Fair point, although there is no current appetite to move strongly away from linear (perhaps small tweaks are possible). So it is either the status quo or downvote revamp. I don't think the status quo is very good.
