I think the value of downvotes outweighs the risks of them being used maliciously. We need some way to counteract those who abuse the platform with self-votes and paid votes or other schemes. I see you vote for some of Justin's puppet accounts. The other witnesses are not blocking his Steem any more. I think we are better off with a diversity of witnesses to decentralise as much as possible.

I agree. So I'm voting for enough witnesses on each side of the dispute to give each of the factions veto strength over the other. I don't want to be centralized under an allied group of SF 0.22.2 witnesses any more than I want to be centralized under Tron.
Fair enough. We need to be aware of how many people follow our votes. I think if Steemit/Tron/Justin manage to keep control we are in serious trouble as they may care less about the viability of Steem than the witnesses who have maintained it for years. Despite what some people say I think the old guard do care about the platform and are not purely self-serving. I have met a fair few of them.
