RE: Downvote: why "people" downvote?
Dear @Stef1.
I too, for some time, wanted to make a post on this topic. I am visited almost daily by these downvoters and therefore I am intrigued. I too have lined up dozens of names of these accounts and I too have seen that they have the 3 Witnesses you mentioned in common.Witnesses well known for their activities on Steemit and who are now, thankfully, elsewhere. I think this downvotes is a way of certain characters to remind everyone that they can always come back and take matters into their own hands.
A sort of notice in the mafia mold, we will say in Italy. They are the usual bullying.
Unfortunately, even though many things have improved on Steemit, strange things happen. And not just these downvotes. Ciao Ciao
Dear @sardrt, thank you for your opinion and I apologize for late reply. I agree with you, the users who downvote masses, on some occasion target those where users taking part in Diary games or contest that is supported by the STeemit team. It seems that the number of them going up because every time I see new names and some of them never heard before. You and me remember that horrible time of real downvote "war" and collective targeting. There is definitely some system behind it. Like you I think the things will never be the same like few years ago. I only hope that it remains at least like it is now.
I am wishing you nice rest of the week :)
