There is no other solution to this problem. We need downvotes, or we will ultimately need to get rid of the reward pool altogether. I would suggest, therefore, that instead of continuing to whine about the necessity of downvotes, we work harder to figure out how to make it easier to understand and help people to understand better. Because there really is no other alternative.

That's not whining, that's caring about Steem
There are always different solutions to fix a problem, but to make downvotes easier is not a solution.
We need a kind of downvote, yes, but no solution what animate people to downvote more and this solution is only a solution for the big players here on steem.

There are not always different solutions. To make a car go, you need an engine. Maybe there are different fuels you can use, or electric, or air-powered, but ultimately you still need an engine.
There is not going to be any way around downvotes. You can dress them up in different ways but they're going to be there. This has been analyzed to death since before Steem even existed, and many times since. The conclusion is really pretty clear.
I respect your passion and caring about Steem but on the substance of the matter, we ultimately disagree. Sometimes what is needed to save something you care about is a bit of tough love, and difficult adjustment periods, not just saying what people want to hear.
