If people are so god damn upset about the amount of money post are making from the use of upvote bots, a tool that should not even be on steemit (bots), then do away with the god damn upvote bots. It is that simple, then the only thing that will count is the one vote any author is allowed to give their content then the votes of people that manually upvote the post. Do away with curation trails of non-content creators trying to earn a buck off the backs of content creators, do away with the BOTS and then we will see a true reward system. Until the curation trails, and the Upvote bot situation is taken care of I can only view the downvoting for "Reward Pool Rape" as nothing than a phrase to justify in the down voters minds of their communist Redistribution of wealth into their own pockets. If they were honest about their intent then they would do as @ned does and decline payout for all their ""Bragging Look at what I DID post About slamming a real Author, oh and Please Upvote, Comment, And Resteem because I am such a great great person, did you see what I did. "So in conclusion when @transisto and @berniesanders stop profiting off their downvoting to return the funds to the reward pool, then taking all those returned rewards for themselves, I may change my mind."
