RE: For the First Time, I Might Be Losing Faith in Steem...

in #steem5 years ago

Downvote is now an evil idea. Your previous article was very important and totally an unique video. But I don't know why steem give us a downvote option..some whale totally absuse the system. Steem should be friendly...if they continue do it then nobody invest here. We love steem as we never left from here but something should be changed to take steem at it's real place.

I call BS. The abuse was orders of magnitude bigger when there was no separate downvote pool like now. I've seen people being targeted by certain assholes with massive stake for no good reason. But the community has come to their aid had healed their posts.

Agreed. I'm not a big fan of downvotes either. All it takes is one spiteful whale to destroy you.

The big picture is that without downvotes Proof-of-Brain wouldn't work at all. I think we have ample evidence of that.

Without downvotes this platform would be nothing but a cesspool of even worse abuse.

I agree with you. But they should be more careful about downvote. Downvote is only for spammers not for best content creators.

Disagreement over rewards is a perfectly valid reason for downvoting.

Even this post has almost $9 in pending rewards. I think @louisthomas is and will continue to be well rewarded on this platform.
