The downvotes are being used on a lot of people who are purely buying votes for profit and I see that as good. They should earn their rewards. We do have to be careful not to drive good people away. I've engaged with a few to try and guide them to a better path.

I 100% agree with using the free downvotes for shit content that gets pushed into trending or pure farming behavior. But to go on a crusade to blindly start downvoting every single bid bot / tribe bot upvote and only 'honest curation' is what it's all about is extremely inconsistent an hypocritical. This would mean they also have to target and kill the Actifit project who trades AFIT tokens for upvotes. Also the idea that upvotes to posts that get more upvotes are worth more is just insane and makes it impossible for anyone outside of the curation circle to get anything going.
I agree with you on that. It's like the whales are trying to turn Steem into a private club, where new users aren't welcomed.
That's not in their interest as falling user numbers will not help the Steem price and a lot of whales paid more for what they have. There are good and bad whales. Work with those who are don't good for the platform.
