I've actually removed most of my downvotes when approached about it. Some people need to learn how to deal with it.
If you lie and beg, it will stay.
If you start spamming my posts, it will stay.
Best option is to wait a little then maybe throw me a mention in a comment on the post I downvoted. Then I can discuss if I want.
Fortunately these people are too cheap and not liked enough by anyone to start a war, but downvoting me because I downvoted you a single time by a fraction of my vp is not a good idea even if you can afford it.
Do they deserve it? Well I argue they don't deserve post rewards for junk at the expense of others. A lot of really good content producers use bots and I would rather see them able to buy even more upvotes than people swoop in with the lowest quality crap and zero engagement. Engagement is actually a fair way to judge quality asides from amount of words types not including templates.
