Which is the bigger problem for you? The fact that @abit and @smooth downvote or the fact that payouts (on aceh tag) have become lower?

If the linear rewards fork happens, it may be worse for aceh tag, since they are often whale supported. I'm not sure how I feel about this myself (I also upvote Aceh posts, but I am no whale). Hopefully however there will be more rewards available for everyone via comments, with HF17.
