Sure beats getting downvoted for months by big stakeholders who don't even understand what you're writing just because you downvoted 1 post of them for disagreement of rewards. Haven't seen much of that happening around here, only seen 2 users so far where some of the community/stakeholders had enough of their garbage and decided to zero their rewards due to their content & behavior.
Anyway, I really think this is just a small and unique issue that doesn't happen often and if the users decide to show signs of improvement instead of trying to use 10+ different excuses until something sticks or use their influence to shed dark light on the whole platform, they'll either get countered at some point or the downvoter stops. In the mean time they can enjoy the other benefits aside from the rewards. :)
