downvoting a newbie without explanation especially is never good. Taking the time to explain whatever error the person blundered into would have been much smarter.
I've not seen much of the downvoters using bots that aren't getting hit. I don't spend a lot of time watching for it though.
Yes I agree...
I haven't seen many downvoters using bots eather but as in all cases there are some that uses things wrong. Like downvote a newbie Who didn't even knew what a bot was ... But I belive they can be defeated.
I belive in the good in People and as I said my experience with the downvoters has been that they do it for a reason and they do give a answer if you ask.
Thank you for enlighting this subject, its very much a subject that is all around at this time.
Downvoting a newbie is the most destructive thing you can do here on Steemit. I think downvoting will always be an issue. We are still people and people abuse power when they get it.
I hear you and I agree... There will always be people who abuse power...Its the human nature.
But I belive that if we really work together to get rid of People like that as they destroy things for others... We can have a place where we feel at home.
