This! Why is downvoting being punished ? It's ridiculous you have to think twice, wait, even thrice, before you flag something inappropriate, because, someone somewhere might get back at you and destroy everything you worked so hard for with 1 or 2 clicks
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Its punished because it's a negative action, and not anonymous. So the person you downvote may have literally lost money because you did so, and may retaliate.
On the flip side, what if I post something that a whale doesn't agree with? The platform is essentially censored by whales.
I do understand that, but many minnows have suffered from retaliation, what money does someone lose if I or any other minnow downvote? 1 cent? 2 cents? But if I'd get wacked back it could destroy me with 1 click? There is zero balance in this system the way it is now.
And yes, I agree, if a whale doesn't agree ... who decides what is right or wrong?
