It relies on the public aspect of all stakeholders having a decision in rewards

Yeah I think the only way is to over time encourage more good actors join the platform to positively upvote to reduce the power of of malicious downvoters.
I wouldn't advocate for removing anyone's stake or downvoting abilities.
