Thing is - none of us want to name the accounts - I know what happens if I do that from Steemit - but we all know which accounts have been abusing the system for the past four years don't we? And it's not like we have to research it - anyone who has been here long term knows. The account names may change from time to time, but they are not even trying to hide.
The big downvoters are taking rewards down more than 20HP on some posts because they are not by members of their inner circle, while letting other accounts which they favour constantly get similar payouts, often for posts that are very average.
Meanwhile I think the effect of any bot like dein problem does a massive amount of psychological damage even if the downvotes are worthless, and needs sorting out
Most downvoting IS blatant abuse...
I disagree but would need to look at 2000-3000 daily downvotes individually to be sure.

Top downvoters since Hive.
dein-nostake-problem, I would say is abuse but is pointless.
fersher and stimialiti, bitter and stakeless nobhead, also abuse.
The rest i am not sure.
How about value rather than quantity?
More work but might highlight some new names or at least affect the order of the list.
There will certainly be some downvotes I disagree with but there is also a lot of shit/abuse which needs constant monitoring.
