RE: AskSteem: Are you going to make use of the downvote pool? Why or why not?

^ This. Users downvoting each other for community moderation is not a realistic path forward, especially if this all scales the way we want. There will be some clear cut examples where it's warranted, ie plagiarism, or literally a one word post like "bloop" that then receives lots of bidbot votes. But a selfie is not abuse. A selfie is what a ton of the internet shares and enjoys. Downvote cowboys(I'm stealing this 🤣), especially those with a large stake, I think, will do more harm than good.

I support something along the lines of an anti-curation trail like @r00sj3 mentioned. I would follow that to do my part, but I won't be cruising around looking for an opportunity to be a hater while people are trying to have fun using the platform.
