If any ideology guides them it would be a "myself-ology" if they catch you having ideas they don't have, they will downvote you. There's also the downvote bots, which put you on their lists for reasons that you don't always know. Never happened to me personally, but you can see these bots on some people's comment, they will just downvote because they have the power to do so.
This Post is quite right.
This one explains how to fight it
The simplest search on google gives lots of results of "flag war" like the ones I've put in in the example. steemcleaners is a "grey zone" and some are already thinking of doing downvote bots for after HF21... so meh, that's kind of scary to me.
Well, the situation is really worrying, it is necessary to know more about it, I really had not read anything about it. Thanks for the info.
While it is worrying, it also explains why there are so much communities & tribes, and why circles of "people who know each other" are being formed. The natural response to A-rank bullies is more often than not to group with people who have equivalent power.
So more often than not, these tribes start with a whale that decides to protect their own friends (normal) and extend his protection to people who are like-minded to him/her.
In many aspects, it is a really human attack, and very human response, and why I say that tribes heal the system that has been poisoned. By selling their tokens, the tribes acquire the steems and power necessary to "counter-vote" the downvoters.
Now I'm worried about where that leads, but it's also not that bad. Because both downvote bots, and counter-measures will need to buy steem to escalate one against the other. Means that the buying pressure will rise.
Thanks for the info and the explanation. It's very very important and I knew nearly nothing about it. !tip

Hi, it is indeed important, but as I've said just above, tribes are an effective system that counters this. You may see my full response above if it can give you a bit of hope :)
