I like the downvote pool, and have been flagging spammers while being able to also upvote. I am waiting to see the effect of the reward shares change, and remain unsure of that. It does look on the surface like another whale grab at the expense of minnows and dolphins, but that remains to be seen. And I agree that we need more comment votes as a community engagement boost. I upvote most substantive replies to my posts and comments, and post-fork I upped it to 33% vote power.
