RE: Why free downvotes are a good and necessary part of STEEM

in #newsteem6 years ago

I've been downvoting for years and had plenty of retaliation for it. Some keep doing that long after I left them alone. I see it as part of my curation duty on Steem. The free downvotes have gone a long way to reducing the abuse/misuse of the platform, but I still think some of the big accounts could reduce their self-voting. Save it for when they need to cancel out flags. Most of them get good votes anyway. It's not like there's a shortage of under-appreciated content making cents.
