I'm glad to see even people i thought knew everything are wondering about this stuff!
Since 2016 i've been squawking downvoting sucks, like an angry parrot, and have never done a downvote. I think half the cost of a downvote should come back to the fucker who casts it, like upvotes.

I mean that's pretty much exactly what happened before they gave everyone a free downvote pool. Actually it was even worse, 100% of the downvote hurt you because you lost a 100% upvote.
sounds good!
