RE: Downvote early, downvote often
I don't see how downvoting is censorship, because if it is still there it is not censored. You can tell people how to open a link if the rep is low, can you? Then do!
And then, even though I'm not into this downvoting a lot, I wonder why when I upvote something because I like it, why not downvote what I dislike? Oh, I see, downvote is not flagging. True!
btw: I suggest politics and religion to be #nsfw the same way p@rn is. Well, no I don't. No kid get's confused when it sees puppets. With boobs and things this is different.
I wonder why when I like something at a store I can buy it, why not vandalize what I dislike?
I wonder why when I like the performance of a street-musician I can throw a coin in their hat, why not take coins out of the hats I dislike?
Hahahaha! That's a nice argument (on vandal). Not a valid one when you ask me. The musician goes in a similar direction. Great arguments! Let's go in this direction. !invest_vote
From my perspective the point is that the rewards are distributed from inflation. It's neither vandalism nor theft nor loot when someone's reward is diminished. It's more like stating: I don't like this store, I don't like this musician, and it's not only that I dislike them, but I'm not going to fight for their right to commerce. (You remember this Beatrice Hall statement that is said to be by Voltaire?)
In other words: I don't want to see more of the content that I downvote. (And as I've said, I downvoted only once or twice so far and only for reasons of abuse not whim. But I like to reflect on the means of downvoting.)
Let's stay logical. No window smashed! (Thinking of Bastiat)
That would be true if the minumum payout was 0.001 steem.
As it stands now, all the below-minimum payouts (small-fish upvotes) get REDISTRIBUTED to the big-fish (paid to posts that accrue $20 steem or more).
The higher the pending payout is, the bigger percentage of the below-minimum pool they get.
For example, a post with a pending payout of $117.55 steem will get a bigger scoop (%) of the pool than a post with $17.55 steem. It's not "evenly distributed".

It's literally stealing from the poor to feed the rich.
True. Again true. Well, that's when we the people do things like !invest_vote
And again I like to see the advantage of non-evenly distribution: productivity is a standard. If you think you deserve something and it's not coming, don't go after what you expect but after what you do and change it.
See, technically every post is a comment. If a comment looks worth reading why not do a post about it and add a reference to the original thread. More people are going to recognize it within the seven day time period and the posting is going to be rewarded additionally. Until some whales downvote on it and can get hooked on the minimum payout issue.
Perspective determines action. Creativity is a good tool to craft it. !BEER

If you don't want to see the content, why not just use the "mute" button?
No need to kick over their tip jar.
True. Well, for the mute part: Mute does not mute content but people. I like people. If I can't see their sh** I might be surprised when it hits the fan. And please get me wrong, I like surprises. But I don't like those brown ones.
Again, I'm excogitating about all this. I don't see it their/my jar but, well, let's name it the commons until it is rewarded. Commons like in (3) land a.k.a. territory. It's not mine, it's not theirs, it's still negotiable. Voting is negotiation, not decision. At least that's what I'm coming to when I excogitate it. !invest_vote
