It depends on your perspective of killing it’s killing users who want to spam, bot, content farm and now it’s showing steem for what it is, it id rather have a base of less abuse that is smaller than a huge base of free for all abuse!

As downvotes are killing accounts so was spamming botting and content farming killing the experience on a far greater level!

I think downvoting is a healthy equilibrium and attaching personal feelings to a system will get you nowhere! If people don’t like what steemit is doing then head over to a tribe!

Its up to the individual not the system bending every time a minority has a tiff
