One thing I am not sure how things work with downvotes is that I might have this misconception of downvotes only cancelling out votes that were casted before them. So if someone votes after the downvote it doesn't affect them. But I am not sure about that so it might be coming from my ass.
Cancelling out the vote will take as much stake as they have + some extra. I think curating others is a better outcome rather than trying to cancel it out.
Yeah but again it's not really about the rewards, I'd rather have this cancel the downvote out so people who may naturally vote a comment/snap or post of mine wouldn't get penalized for doing so, same with others.
It doesn't just cancel the last vote, it becomes spread based on weight, i.e. if 2 people vote a post to $10, one is 20% of it, the other is 80% of it and someone downvotes it for $5, the curators both lose 50% of their pending curation rewards.
Furthermore, I've considered countering my downvotes "late" so my own curation rewards would be penalized not just from the downvote but also cause it's 1/2/3 days late in an effort to have the other curators not earn less rewards for having voted on a post/comment with malicious downvotes on.
Yeah it seems like what I talked about is a frontend issue. Peakd shows increased reward payout when you vote a downvoted post unless you refresh.
I think that's one of their things to show that votes land instantly and calculate the amount based on your hp to simulate the effect of instant rewards. While a refresh then shows what the blockchain actually calculated it to.
Yeah, that is probably it. That is why I thought hmm it seems like votes after the downvote doesn't get affected. Live and learn lol
peakd probably added this way back when things were a bit slower cause of shteemit, back then an account couldn't even cast more than 1 vote on the same block
