RE: NewSteem, Downvoting and How Not to Keep People Around
I've experienced the new downvote trend as well. It all started with a downvote I made to an abusive post concerning one of the users. My latest post has 5 downvotes. I don't know if it's a grudge thing since there are no comments from the downvoters. Anyway, I think if we go on like this there'll be even less content to enjoy on the blockchain.

it's not a grudge... reread the part where I talked about the 10% downvoters. They're basically a cloud of gnats.
It will eventually get to the point of downvotes being normalised - and I even seen a proponent to the DVs say
Ideally, ALL posts will have at least 1 DV on them.."which I can honestly say I can see that happening too.People spend so much attention to the number of downvotes.. I mean, 5 downvotes on a post that has 300 upvotes is nothing.
But why aren't people like "OMG I LOVE STEEM! I got 300 UPVOTES!!!" instead they are like "Omg I quit because of these 3 downvotes that my great post got ..kbyi!!!"
Not directing this at you comment OP, you just spurred the idea for the thought in my head ;)

That makes sense. It's good to discuss our thoughts.
