Yea that’s a good point, like if you are downvoted for “over rewarded” content you cannot adjust anything.
There should be something the user can adjust to not be downvoted in most cases.
Otherwise, we are picking winners and losers when it comes to content quality and that just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

That depends on your perspective. It doesn't make sense from the perspective of those prevented from winning, nor from the perspective of the platform itself. It is existentially necessary for those keeping their present power.
