I found the downvotes on the dollar vigilante's posts surprising really not sure if it is a deliberate act of trying to sabotage the platform though or whether it is just personal in the sense they don't like him or don't agree with him. The downvoting shouldn't be used that way though. Time will show what the true agenda is.

I think that the whole point of Steemit is people putting money where their mouth (opinion) is. It gives substance to the discussion that was never possible before. I have participated on early forums that adopted 'karma' systems and they were only as good as the moderators and politics. But political opinions cost nothing to put forward before, and cost little to overwhelm if you are well connected. But now it's an actual cost to your balance. This will change the balance of power as regards to gaining prominence.
